**The official Day 2 Patriots Draft Thread**

[Ring 6]

have you guys seen the Dowling highlights???? He looks like a hard hitter, kick returner, and cromartie type!

Impregnator?

 

[BTTA]

The Texans are drafting like a team that won their division and went 14-2. Were drafting like a team in rebuild mode. Take that the way you want because it can be a plus and a minus.

I see it just the opposite.

 

[Kicking_Game]

This is generally considered a weaker draft, but solid on front 7 type players, particularly DL. A solid expectation we all had to upgrade our defense.

And yet, we're into rd. 3, and our only investment on D is a CB/S.

So far, this draft has been a big disappointment, despite the spinning going on here.

 

[RayClay]

Sam Madison just announced that the Patriots selected Chris Canty.

I didn't appreciate that.

 

[fumbrunner]

Shorter thick legs w/ long body
This kid is thick and strong for a DB.

​

I'm glad we are going with taller, more physical CBs. The hobbit era of CBs in NE is over.

 

[Off The Grid]

3 3rd's!!

I LOVE it!! :rocker:

I'm been saying ALL ALONG that the Value's in the 3rd!!

KILLER!!

with whom? Consensus is the 2nd and 3rd round looked pretty weak.

Fair question, sir, and a fine one!!

Consensus, as usual, is WRONG!!

~ WB Jordan Cameron ~ HIDEOUSLY dangerous weapon!!

~ CB Curtis Marsh ~ #1 Corner Potential!!

~ DE Kenrick Ellis ~ Super Beast!!

~ TB Taiwan Jones ~ NIGHTMARE!!!

Miami takes a much better RB than NE in Daniel Thomas.

Sigh...This Vereen vs Leshoure/Thomas thing reminds me of what happened with Wheatley vs Terrell Thomas in 2008.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Redskins are having the draft Off The Grid would love :rocker:

They might just end up with the 22 picks he forecast. ...

 

[ausbacker]

Oh wow would you look at that. Pats take an OL first then the OL run starts. Pats take a CB then the CB run starts. Pats take a RB then the RB run starts. BB > chicken littles.

Oh and BTW Jon Gruden just said the LB group is weak this year.

 

[Don Kipines]

Not to the same extent, but I get the feeling that, just like in 2007, BB does not like this draft class. Funny thing is, he was right about 2007.

I don't see that. He's taken 3 picks in the first 56. I actually kind of get the feeling that he really likes this draft -- otherwise he'd be trading out of the draft more instead of down. They seem to think they can get good players late; you don't do that last trade unless you really want an extra fifth in this year's draft, for whatever reason.

He's Cromartie with great character, I love him......

I have to admit, I liked Thomas over Vereen. Leshoure reminds me more and more of Maroney. Interesting to see how their respect careers play out.

3 3rd's!!

I LOVE it!! :rocker:

I'm been saying ALL ALONG that the Value's in the late 3rd!!

KILLER!!

It's killer for sure.
Killing our SB hopes. Quantity never out-performs quality.
Considering where we've been drafting #17, #28, #33 et al I think we've actually lost ground with this draft. Lots of roster filler. Last year was a freak of nature. This draft looks much more the typical BB drafts.
This has been a very disappointing draft.

Seriously though, I saw anything but Cromartie, because Dowling wants to hit people.

 

[midwestpatsfan]

i have a feeling the Patriots might take mallett in the 3rd

 

[patsinthesnow]

So who's everyones one guy they want now?

Leonard Hankerson at #73 would be epic.

 

[Water Boy]

I thought Marcus Gilbert would be a NE Patriot. Hopefully he's a stiff for the Steelers.

 

[patchick]

Miami takes a much better RB than NE in Daniel Thomas.

Thomas is terrific...as long as his 11 fumbles don't bother you. I'm not too surprised they bothered BB, he's funny that way.

 

[b72s]

Bailey and Ballard?????? 73,74

Your lamentations amuse me.
