Dream Draft

Patriots drafting up into the top half of the 1st round? It is a dream...

The Pats usually would not make this trade. That said, it would be sweet to have 4 picks in the first 48. Gerhart would be great but he might go lower than the 2nd round. And when I see Colt McCoy I see Kyle Orton.

We already picked up a good DE with the 3rd.

Yeah for a 4-3 set. now we need a OLB for the other side opposite RAK. Can Jarmon do it? or will he need to bulk up and stay at DE? or is he now viewed as a wasted pick due to the change in scheme?

jarmon is a waste now

jarmon could be a 3-4 end i think. hes pretty big for a defensive end.

No I don't like that scenario particularly well. We relied on elite LT talent for years w/ Chris. He's gone and there's no reason to pretend we don't need another guy like him. 4th overall almost guarantees us the best LT in the draft this year. Take it. Draft a legit RT w/ the 2nd rd pick and we're literally 50% better on offense. Shanny will draft a RB too and make him a star.

As to Jarmon I think he's about 270 and when you look at his frame well there's room there for growth. He could easily bulk up 10 lbs in muscle and be a legit DE in a 3-4. I think this is something to hope for. With the massive infusion of talent our offense needs just to get back into the middle of the pack any additions to defense seem unlikely.

Trade our first round pick and 7th round pick to San Fransisco for their 13th and 16th overall picks

(1)13th Sam Bradford QB
(1)16th Charles Brown OT
(2)36th Terrance Cody NT
(4) Matt Tennant OC
(5) Adam Ulatkoski OT
(Compensatory pick) Mitch Petrus OG

Most Offensive HC's want to bring in their own guy. I wouldnt be surprised to see Shanny bring in a bradford and draft a OT in the snd or go after a FA OT.
he usually likes the mobile linemen so i guess Okung would be out of the picture.
I would NOT have a problem with
Berry
McClain
Suh
Haden
Okung
with the 4th selection.

I wouldn't say that

Pass Protection -1 -Plays with great balance, mirror-and-slide ability and awareness in pass pro. Feet are a notch below elite. Gets set quickly in pass pro. He is capable of consistently getting set wide and shutting down the perimeter versus speed rushers. Shows long arms and big hands, which he uses well to keep separation and sustain.

Run Blocking -2 -Takes solid angles and shows good initial pop. Has long arms and a strong upper body to control defenders. He's big and shows above-average strength as a drive blocker. Consistently reaches the second level on time and shows the ability to hit the moving target. Only knock is that he occasionally struggles to lock on and sustain, which can be rectified with better hand usage in most instances.

Good points everyone. I like the McCluster pick, I was torn between him and Gehart.

I know the Patriots won't do that Trade unless someone they Really want falls to 4. G. McCoy maybe, sine Woilfolk is probably leaving??? Who knows.

I think I addressed everything though. 3 Offensive lineman!!! A QB and a RB in the top 4 rounds, I would love for that to Happen.

I'm completely against Bradford/Clausen at number 4. I really want Suh or Okung if we stay. Either will be a centerpiece for a long time.
