Uncle Kurt's 7 round mock w/ trades

[dryheat44]

Who do you like at TE?

Aaron Hernandez might be available, but if not, I'd rather take Moeaki, J Graham, Cottam, or even Sicko.

Here is my realistic dream draft:

Trades:

1. NE trades picks #22 and #53 (1150) to Pittsburgh for #18, #82 and #151 (1142). Pittsburgh drafts M. Pouncey at 22 and has another 2nd rounder to address their CB and WR needs

2. NE trades pick #44 (460) to Arizona for pick #58 and #89 (465) (Arizona has 2 3rd rounders)

ROUND 1
Pick # 18 Brandon Graham DE/OLB Michigan BB trades up for this pick to move ahead of Atlanta who covets Graham at 19.

ROUND 2
Pick # 44 TRADED to Arizona - BB plays the draft board like a Stratovarius

Pick # 47 Golden Tate WR Notre Dame (I'd be happy with Eric Decker, Taylor Price or Damian Williams here too)

Pick # 58 Arthur Jones DT Syracuse (assume Tyson Alualu is off the board at this point. Jones may be the better player in the Pats scheme).

ROUND 3
Pick # 82 Dennis Pitta TE BYU - Very good pass catcher, route runner is good in traffic.

Pick # 89 Daniel T'eo Nesheim DE/OLB Washington High motor high intensity

ROUND 4
Pick # 119 Deji Karim RB Southern Illinois Sleeper? (I assume Ben Tate is off the board at this point.)

ROUND 5
Pick #151 Mitch Petrus OG Arkansas

ROUND 6
Pick # 190 Scott Long WR Louisville

Pick # 205 Nate Byham TE Pittsburgh Best blocking TE in the draft

ROUND 7

Pick #229 Ed Wang OT VT
Pick #231 Matt Dodge P E. Carolina
Pick #247 Vince Oghobase DT Duke
Pick #248 Zac Robinson QB Oklahoma ST
Pick #250 Crezdon Butler CB Clemson (I know nothing about this guy)

I don't believe Karim is a fit on the Pats.Same with Golden Tate. Also, the entire 7th round is blah..

Oghobase - I'm assuming you want to move to 3-4 DE.. Only problem is that he gets little if any push.. Lissemore is a better guy to look at.

Dodge- He's get's horrible hang time.. Meaning he's more of a line drive kicker. Means that Opponents get better returns against him. No thanks. Bowden or Brandtner.

Butler - Unless he can return kicks or punts, I don't see the Pats looking at him.. Look for AJ Jefferson earlier.

Ed Wang - Has a 3rd round grade, yet you expect him to fall to the 7th? Not to mention that I don't see him being better than Kaczur or LaVoir.. So, where do you have him playing? Inside?

My late round picks were made out of thin air. I won't argue any of your points except that right or wrong, NFL Draft Countdown had Wang ranked as a late round pick.
