The Official Patriots Draft (Day 1) thread

[DarrylS]

ESPN BOston, Mike Reiss is detailing the trades...

The Patriots have traded the 24th overall pick to the Dallas Cowboys, with the Cowboys moving up from No. 27.

The Patriots pick up the Cowboys' 27th overall pick and a third-round pick (90th overall).

The Patriots give up the first-rounder (24th) and a fourth-rounder (119th overall).

Okay who wants Clausen, time to trade down again....

Or pick Kindle, either way BB is a genius!!!!!!

 

[patchick]

I have to say, this is an incredibly entertaining and unpredictable draft.

 

[Keyser Söze]

seems like some of you are still drinking the "value" coolaid

The top players are off the ******* board.

 

[BradyFTW!]

At least we screwed Baltimore. They were obviously hoping for Bryant to slide to them...

 

[Robdude]

Both trade downs are great moves but let's make a pick now

The best player's are slipping away. Ugh

 

[tanked_as_usual]

free 3rd rounder

like I said earlier today.........bryant made no sense

odrick, kindle, or hughes

 

[Scooter_McGruder]

Tebow haters, breathe a sigh of relief.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Wow, Denver picks Tebow before Clausen. McDaniels is gambling a little here that his character will overcome his mechanics.

The Pats will take tradeup offers for Clausen, imo, we might be dropping out of round 1 entirely!

 

[TriplecHamp]

why do people want Bryant so much. He's lazy, late for games and practices, not all to smart and been said NFL team may need to "scale down the playbook" for?

Haven't we seen this enough with the many others WR the Pats brought in who could run a fast mile but not a correct route.

You know nothing about Dez Bryant, you should stab whoever told you he was Lazy. For Christ sakes hes the only player thats still working out, hes got a chip on his shoulder and hes going to Dallas ready to work.

 

[Free_Pacman]

Good for Tebow and good for Denver.

 

[everlong]

I cannot believe Denver gave up all of that for Tebow.

 

[Uncle Rico]

I'm torn. Dez Bryant/Randy Moss would have been a great story, but WR is soooo not my priority for a high pick.

perspective. What a concept. We should all be gld that BB isn't guided by emotions like a lot of us are ...

 

[Rob0729]

Good! The two players the Pats were rumored to get (Tebow and Bryant) are gone. Didn't want either guy really. I want a pass rusher. Personally, I want Kindle, but he has to get past Arizona.

 

[BradfordPatsFan]

I believe there are other wr's available later in the draft.

Just sayin'...

 

[jefmblrd]

Good to be back in the third round with the Cowboy trade.

 

[Grizzafted]

i'm sorry but this is another ******ed whiff in the first round. not drafting dez bryant. really? i guess out-thinking cushing, mathews, laurinitis, and maualuga last year wasn't enough for emperor bill.

say what you want but bryant just fell into our laps and we threw him away. if he plays even at half the level i expect him too i'm going to be throwing bottles at the TV during cowboys games for the next decade.

 

[JackBauer]

Horrible, atrocious, puke-inducing pick by Denver.

Some masterful trading by BB. Trade down, accumulate picks, and still get the guy you want.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Good for Tebow and good for Denver.

Just switched to ESPN for Lord knows why. They're transferring their hate for BB to Josh -- I think he's doing just fine.
