Well the NFL draft is here! Its actually on of my favorite times of the NFL calender. All the craziness with the mock drafts learning about all the players that you would otherwise not pay any attention too. But its just fun to imagine the possibilities and play imaginary GM.
The Patriots are probably going to be big players in the draft as they own 6 of the first 75 or so picks. Just a little crazy. I think the one thing I've come away with from following the Pats is you never know what BB and co. will do and to expect the unexpected.
I do think that the Pats need to go Defense specifically the front seven. I heard an interesting fact today, that in 12 years that BB has never drafted a blue chip outside linebacker/D-end. Is this the year that changes? Well we shall see this Thursday right. The other must for the Pats is offensive line, a tackle or guard. There are really good prospects at each position.
Another big deal for the Pats is do they trade up, stay put, or trade back. I've heard and read all the opinions. I think unless you are completely sure of a guy and all of the top 10 guys with an exception or two all have flaws and question marks to their game. All that being said I think the Pats stay put at 17, but definitely will trade out of 28 and or 33. I'll have my opinions and thoughts of all the draft happenings during the weekend.
Oh yeah the chaos, the NFL Lockout or lifted lock out is now creating chaos, no one really knows what to do. The Owners keep taking hits in this fight. They need a deal done and soon.
