Eh this is true.

I can't stand it every time I hear the Pats made a move in the draft.

But.

I don't remember the last time they drafted a player that turned out to be anybody..

Mayo's good but past that..?

I agree they aren't the best. McCourty and Tate are two good picks in the last 2 years, along with Mayo and Guyton previously.

Regardless, they are draft trading geniuses.

The rich get richer, and the desperate keep on failing. There is a reason why the Raiders are...well...the Raiders. Bad choices over and over again without correcting the problem. As a Skins fan, we've seen this poo go on for the past 12 years under Snyder's rule. Thankfully, that piece of poo is out of the football operations and spending his time bullying journalists in DC. I was happy as hell to see us move out of the 10 spot and pick up a extra 2nd. Reports are that the Raiders have contacted us about getting that #41 spot for their 1st in 2012. Apparently they want Kaepernick.

I think its why they are so willing to part with picks. They build from FA and on the belief that Vets will take a cut to win. They also win by one of the best calculating HC in the game. Just good coaching all around TBH.

I have some friends that are Pats fans and they're fed up with the Pats continuing to stockpile picks and NOT using them. What good is having 10 high value picks if you're just going to continue trading down?

Obviously it works given their success, but it's just confusing lol.

Jokes on them... They suck at drafting.

This is the Offense only....the majority of the starters were drafted by NE and I dare say their starting lineup is better than Carolina's.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
