The Draft is Finally Here, What do you think is going to happen?
Draft Day in finally here! We have put out numerous mock drafts throughout the last few weeks and we all have certain ideas and expectations for what will happen tonight.
We want to hear who you think the Patriots will pick with their picks tonight and why you think so. Will they use both picks? Will they trade up for a player like Mark Barron, Michael Brockers or Chandler Jones? Will they trade down and accumulate picks?
Give us all your thoughts here, and discuss all the draft day news and rumors in this open thread.

Via some crafty trading and players falling, the Patriots select: Shea McClellin (drafted as 3-4 OLB), Peter Konz (C), Janoris Jenkins (CB), Kelechi Osemele (drafted as G), Trumaine Johnson (drafted as a FS), Marvin McNutt (WR), Chris Rainey (drafted as KR/PR).
i say we trade both picks #27 and #31, we move up with pick #27 and trade back with #31 and also deal west walker:) smh good times man good times omg l love this team.
According to Albert Breer, the Patriots have contacted the Seattle Seahawks to determine how much it would cost to move up to the 12th overall pick. Breer states that it could be information gathering and I believe it has a lot to do with how the draft potentially falls.

this would equate to roughly a first and second round pick. patriots are not going to overpay seattle for the pick. i would also find out what any team that wants to trade out of first or second round wants for the pick to get an idea of cost.
i think somewhere around 20th pick could ideal picking spot also.
DL,DL, Big n fast WR, FS, OLB, WR/ Stills(Penn St), Reyes(UCONN), Quick(App St), Hardin(OSU), Irvin(WVU), Adams(Ark)
Janoris Jenkins will be a patriot. Taken day 1 or 2 it will happen.
Tough to predict who will be on the board in the late 20’s. No doubt the Pats will use one and trade one. The only way I see them trading up is if Brockers falls…thats the one guy I think has a pro bowl future as a DT/DE. I like Upshaw and McClennin late in the first….both may not end up as all-pros but I think both will be VERY good football players in the NFL.
2nd and 3rd targets….CB, SS/FS, C/OG, WR
NICK PERRY and Vinny curry plz
We want to hear who you think the Patriots will pick with their picks tonight and why you think so.
Will they use both picks? Yes
Outside of a QB needy team, I don’t see no other trade partners
Will they trade up for a player ? No
I’d think about trading up 27th pick, about roughly 8 slots.
It could be worth pushing the 48th pick up 8-10 slots.
Trading Hoyer in some deal would be worth it.
Will they trade down and accumulate picks? No
except a few slots here and there to acquire a few picks
There doesn’t seem to be any public consensus about where someone should be drafted. There will be quite a few busts due to teams reaching for players without enough productive game film.
27. Shea McClellin – non stop motor D.E/O.L.B.
31. Trade for 39. and 97. from the Rams
39. Trumaine Johnson – convert to F.S.
48. Alameda T’amu – massive run sopper who will make Fanene,Deadrick,Pryor and Love better.
62. Trade for #2 next year plus 76. and 5th rounder this year
76. Joe Adams – pro style,fast receiver and K.R. who makes Stallworth,Edelman,and Gonzalez expendible
93. Trade for #2 next year plus 5th rounder this year
97.Brandon Taylor – ugrades the depth at safety and special teams
126. Jaye Howard – massive D.T. who’s fast and played out of position in college
1st 5th rounder- Ryan Broyles- ends up on IR for the year but combined with Adams sets us up at WR for the future
2nd 5th rounder- Tom Compton or Ryan Miller- upgrades at T for the future
Parcell puts McClellin in the 5th round or later. I would agree.
Got to be due to the concussion issue. That is a risky pick
I think one of the Bama guys falls to 27. he will snatch em up. trade 31.
I think the Patriots will draft Harrison Smith at 27 and trade 31 to Cleveland for their 1st next year.
The consensus, this year as in last, is that the Pats need help in the secondary and in rushing the passer. Last year, Bill stayed true to his contrarian streak and drafted offensive line and running backs with his high picks. My question: for Bill to be a contrarian this year, must he make the conventional pick (the double negative)?
Predicting his draft selections/trades must be as frustrating as it is exhausting.
My only wishes: that the Pats do not trade up for Barron but the Jets do trade up for Richardson.
Im fine with leaving out a pass rusher. Get some DL help 4 times in this draft!!
If there isn’t an elite DE pass rusher there, I would not be surprised to
see them pick up Harrison Smith and a RB @ 27,31
We could use depth at SS and RB
My projected draft 27. Chandler Jones De Sy
31. Trade to colts for pick 34 and 4th round(97) colts take coby fleener
34.Janoris Jenkins
48.Ronnell lewis
62.trade jaguars gets 62 and patriots get 2013 3rd round pick and
pick 70
70.Derek Wolfe de
93. jamell flemming cornerback
97.trade down get eagles 114 and 153
114.Georfe Illoka fs boise state
153.ron brooks cb lsu
we all go home happy
Got a very strong feeling they’re gonna get McClellin and Janoris Jenkins
Jenkins has so much upside: with 10 years time on the Pats, he could father an entire secondary.
my pats had better get a pass rusher T.B. cant do everything 4 this team.
Yes he can.
I need the draft to get here – cure my Bruins hangover. I really think if Brockers, Poe, Fletcher, Ingram fall to 12-14, BB will bundle and trade up…BUT…I would be ecstatic if we stay and get a Smith and Reyes in 1st. So, obviously, I am doing the perfect fence-riding! But does the first scenario make sense if any one of those players were there?
