Hoodie does it again
Is Jimmy Smith as good as they're saying? Top cover guy theyve scouted in last 5 years?
If I was the hoodie, I probably would have jumped all over Ingram at that spot.
Does anyone work the draft better than the Pats?
NE gets 2nd round this year and 1st rd next year for 28th pick
Despite his off field exploits he was the best press corner in awhile
If I was the hoodie, I probably would have jumped all over Ingram at that spot.

Its amazing that testing positive for marijuana while in Colorado is enough to count as significant off field issues? Is there more?
The way people describe his talent, he'd have been perfect
Mark these words, they will draft another RB latter who will be just as productive, if not more like Ryan Williams.

Like Maroney?
Some day, in a future draft, the Pats will own 30 of 32 picks in the first round the way they trade. Believe it.
Watch them then trade with themselves!!!
Smith in Ravens defense.... Sick
I know, right?
Suggs and Lewis will shape him up in no time. I believe it.
That's seriously THE only team a guy like Smith could have landed with and it end up with him playing and not being out of the league before the season even began. IMO.
Chances the Pats trade their 33rd pick overall and acquire a 3rd 1st rounder next year. That would be scary
Word on the street is that the Patriots actually plan to use that pick.
Probably on Reed.
Could be Reed possibly Ayers and even Houston. Patriots have never been scared to pick a falling player. They took the Gronkowski (TE Arizona no idea how to spell it) last year and i believe he failed a drug test as well and look how good he was last year. They took Brandon Merriweather who had some character concerns and he has been solid.Patriots know how to draft and there is a reason why they are as good as they are

The bold players are players that I think were reaches or didn't fit the scheme that the team is running. The run on quarterbacks, IMO, was primarily because teams were scared of "loosing there guys", otherwise, the draft worked out fairly well.
As for JJ Watt, I have mixed feelings. We need guys to play the DE position in our 3-4 since we don't have anyone outside of Mario Williams and Antonio Smith, however, I felt that an ILB or rush OLB was sorely needed.
Nick Fairley a reach? Him and Suh are going to dominate for years to come. Suh will keep him in line.
Agreed. This is a GREAT spot for Fairely to succeed. He won't be the main focus and Suh will draw most of the double teams. If he were smart he'd have a good head on his shoulders by thinking "we could potentially be the best DT tandem in the league". I think Fairley has extremely high bust potential on most other teams, with Suh he should be focused and have the benefit of playing next to the best DT in the league.Detroit is a good place for Fairly. Suh and the HC there dont mess around. Also, in my opinion, Fairly is a much better 4-3 DT than 3-4 NT or DE.

I am glad we didn't trade up and get the CB.
This was the better pick, IMO. We need more muscle up front. I'm not thrilled with anybody up front, except Mario, and this guy feels like a Mario-type of player...the size, the speed, hands, strength, etc.
I think we are setting ourselves up for a heart break. Remember when Mario was a rookie & we counted the games before he got a sack? While I believe Mario is a fine pass rusher, & really an over achiever as far as that goes, I don't believe that he is a natural pass rusher.
Remember there were questions about Mario, because his senior year he got the majority of his sacks over a span of a few weeks at the end of the season?
While I do not doubt that he can rush the passer, I think he would make a bigger impact if he was let go, & allowed to create havoc.
Watt seems to be the same kind of player. I think some people may be too hard on him, & call him a bust if he isn't getting double digit sacks a year.
Mario, if he is allowed to play his game & not focus on sacks, I think would end up with double digit sacks anyway, because he is that type of athlete.
I hope Wade is drawing up all kinds of stuff now, to allow these two to do what they do & wreck havoc on the backfield.
