i hope we get a de and running back,maroney needs to go”
why would we get a running back ?? everybody and there mom knows the pats ain’t a running team !
come on guys, we need better people in the 2010 patriots, get Tim Tebow
from colts area so i get lots of crap wearing a pats jersey but they will rock 20010 season and bes supper bowl champions
I’m pumped. It should be a great draft. Before the bonehead blunders from above that lets someone better fall in our lap and just based on the “Top100 Prospects” alone we get:
22nd pick = Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri
44th pick = Jerry Hughes, DE, TCU
47th pick = Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
53rd pick = Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
Plus 3 more 4th-6th rd value/need picks
& 5 compensatory dice roll picks in the 7th.
And that’s before any trades?!! That may not fill every hole but that’s a whole hunka help.
Ryan Matthews (Fresno State) I’ve been watching this guy the last few years and I promise you a few years from now teams are going to look back and wonder why they passed up on him. He will be a STAR!!!
Listen guys, we NEED to look at defense with our first pick, maybe first 2. Possibly a solid DE stud like Graham? idk, but we need someone to slow down the running game. Then assuming we dont trade any picks, the second round gets crazy. we have 3 picks and we have to make them count. TIM TEBOW!!!!!! put him anywhere on the field and he will give 200%. This guy can be a great utility player and can help us at RB, FB, TE, and a solid back-up QB who can run the wildcat, giving us another dimension to our solid offense. If he is there, which i think he will, take him. Then get another defensive star to help our pass rush and then get an offensive linemen to make our RB’s loook better. Our RB’s arent as bad as some of you guys say they are. have faith. 2011 CHAMPS!
Can someone explain to me how the patriots got 3 second round picks? Especially the Tennessee one, I don’t recall any trades being made between the two….
This will be one of the most interesting drafts to date. They have so many needs. I would really like to see a running back taken early in the second round. With Brady aging his protection is so important. Right now all they have is older backs and no clear stud in the backfield. A strong O lineman would be great too. Go Pats!
what yall saying is true they do need better picks but i dont know if taylor mays will go to the patriots
i hope the patriots will get the #11 pick from the broncos forget mays bring in someone better for there linebacker they need a great df and good offense plays mccoy for the #49 pick im not sure about that but what the heck
This draft is too deep with actual players to draft Tebow as a project or a FB?!?! I kno he is a freak athlete but playing QB in the SEC and running people over in the NFL are a little different. Patriots have too many holes, plus last year Brady said he’ll play for at least five more years. I hav been thinking defense with their picks but i think the Patriots could go either way with all of their picks. I dont think are O-line is in need, Bill had some good O-line picks last year besides Vollmer who is a stud. The pats strength draft-wise is lineman, Belichick is always drafting them late like Matt Light or Koppen. I think the pats top needs are….
1. passrushing DE or OLB
2. Big 3-4 DE
3. WR
4. TE
5. SILB
6. RB
7. Nickel back
Lot of needs to fill in one draft and they’re all legit. They need to make a couple trades if they want to fill all of them. Maybe Kirk Morrison at ILB from the Raiders or TE Greg Olsen from the Bears. No teams as ever filled six or seven holes in one draft.

To answer someone’s “how did the pats get three 2nd rnd picks” question. Last year BB traded 73rd overall to the Jaguars for their 2nd rounder this year,then 89th to the Titans for their 2nd in 2010. I have a feeling he’ll do the same this year, the stronger the draft the more teams have to pay to get a 2nd from the pats this year. Maybe a 3rd Rnd pick this year with a 2nd and 3rd next year. Bill aint a genuis because of the wardrobe.

we still need a big running back!
The pats would be wise to draft Aaron Hernandez with one of their second round picks. He’s the kind of player that will make an immediate impact, just look at his body of work at Florida. Plus, he’s from New England so he can handle those cold winter games. Im telling you Hernandez is a steal in the second and will work well in the Pats pass oriented offense.
I agree, Hernandez could be dynamic. Hes a great athlete and could instantly help. People are saying that we’ll draft Gresham if hes there, i’l b pissed. There is like five recieving tightends that could all be good picks in the 2nd round. If they want offense…Golden Tate or Ryan Mathews would both be an instant lift. If the pats get Gronkowski, Hernandez. Pitta, Graham, or Moeaki id be satisfied and one of them could last all the way to the 4th rnd. Picked a good year to need a recieving TE.

whats the chance of the Pats trading the 22 pick?
Keep dreaming about running backs when healthy maroney sick and he’s not goin anywhere this year this draft will be about defense and maybe a late running back I live in rhode island and have been watching the pats since the grogan days all our super bowls were won with average players don’t sleep on the coaching this year and next are rebuilding the pats legacy is far from over and maroney wasn’t drafted firs round to be disposable so keep dreaming fellas
Yes please taylor mays. We should have drafted dez bryan????????
are you serious? Once again Bellichek would rather play around with his picks than actually select a quality player. Is it just me or are we watching a dismantling of all our talent as our opponents make good team decisions regarding personnel?
Hopefully they pass on Taylor Mays. A number of red flags went up when Pete Carroll passed up on his one of his own players and chose a different safety. I wonder what the issue was?
We’re better off without Dez Bryant, the last thing we need in New England is Deion Sanders hanging around.
Start rebuilding that old slow O line. golden tate would b good too
I am not sure what to think about McCourtney and Spikes. I worry about Spikes speed. I do like the TE pick and Cunningham. I would hope for OL, DL, WR as options this third round.
the pats should get joe mcknight from usc for a more dynamic player
My wish list (Austen Lane is gone).
6th round – George Selvie, DE.
So, another year of semi-confusion for Pat fans. So much for months and months of mock drafts that mean so little in the end. Afterall, how much do we truely, as fans, understand BB’s evaluations…a lot less than we think. That’a why the smart guys run the organization. It may not have been very popular, but when you think about our pass coverage last year, we certainly needed another contributor on pass defense. So much of this draft will hinge on Cunningham’s success as a pass rusher, maybe not initially, but he’ll need to produce soon. I love the picks of Spikes, Gronkowski and Hernandez. I’m sure that Brady does too. Price could be a “diamond in the ruff”, and could take some time to progress. Let’s hope that Tate is recovered and ready to contribute (McKenzie too at LB). The punter, Mesko, better be a real prize to warrent a 5th round pick. I too would have loved to see us take Austin Lane (taken 2 picks later than Mesko) as a developmental DL rusher. Maybe they have more faith than we know with what they cyrrently have on their roster. Keep the faith, gang! Only 12 months to go before we get to do this all over again.
nice zac robinson
Look, we should have gotten a QB out of this class, Brady has proven that whenever something bad happens or he gets his feelings hurt, he's worthless for the rest of the game. We should have gotten a new QB in 09, but Kraft was too busy letting Oher slip to Baltimore.
