Early draft looks

My favorite day of the year is approaching. Only four months until draft day! There are a few positions i'd like to see this team address. Runningback is one of them. This draft is chock full of them. My favorite right now is Donald Brown II. He ran for over 2,000 yards at Connecticut this year and 18 touchdowns. I'm not quite sure why he isn't getting first round attention yet. But I think in the next month after the combine he will. Everyone on the opposite side of the ball knew Brown was getting the ball and he still managed the most yards in football. Inside Linebacker is another position i'd like to see them add depth to. Rey maualula is a high energy guy who has lost is off field issues and really focused on football. He led a top USC defense to another great season. He would look great next to Mayo. Cornerback is a must. The signing of old has beens needs to stop. Guys like Duane Starks and Deltha O'neill killed the Pats. I was a huge Vontae Davis guy a year ago. But he had a real down year and was actually benched toward the end of the season. Not a good sign for Vernon's younger brother. Alphonso Smith out of Wake, Victor Harris From Va Tech and D.J. Moore from vandy are some good candidates and may be available in the second round. I think the Pats could add some O-Line depth and a possible wide receiver to replace Jabar Gafney. Check back in early March for more draft up dates.

We needs a coupla good db's. How about tradin Brady and drafting Chris Crane in the 3rd or 4th round, Matt Ryan is awesome so I like BC guys

Trade Brady?? The Pats are not going to trade Brady. Not to mention Chris Crane isn't worth a draft pick or a roster spot on this team. I do think they need some DB's and they will take one or two

You out of you dang mind. They needa trade brady for a tite end and another good OL, matt lite sucks. Scott pioli went to kc, trade brady there for pro bowler tony gonzo and that stud ol they drafted last year.

Thanks Jack, i'm glad you like it. I mainly focus on boston but due touch on other cities when something interests me. As for the Jagodzinski comment, He wasn't here long enough for me to dislike him that much. I guess Jagz and the AD at BC didn't really get along. I thought he was here for the long run but if you are unhappy at work why would you want to stay there. I was glad to see spaziani get it. He's been there through so many coaching staffs. It was his time and they want someone who will stick around for the long haul.

"sure"?

We need a tite end.
