The pats have selected 2 TE's in the 1st rnd the last 5 years Do Not rule anything out especially the draft before FA and cuts take place right now for offense!!!(I think the draft we should go defense) but the needs right now are 1. RT clement is a FA and A Jones is probably a goner(a good takle will cost alot in FA (6 yrs 36 mil 16 mil SB for a good one) a stopgap 2 mil this could be a draft position? 2. TE I dont like the draft and the FA's stink this wont get addresed( PS Baker stinks) 3. WR remember we did try to go after branch, will it be a FA route or draft? 4. RB I want to go the cheap FA route or someone who got cut....I am always wrong so watch them draft a RB with the 1st pick 5 Guard late late late rnd I hope you can find guards anywhere 6 Fb fa min salary or draft 7th rnd or rookie fa or street fa who cares about this position
Sidney Rice is something im happy about and could slip to that #37 pick this years draft is gonna be good.
Him and Jake Long are probably gonna be the only big-time jrs who arent coming out.Alan Branch reportedlydidnt sign up for spring classes so he is expected to go pro.
Today 12 noon, press conference announcing whether or not Calvin Johnson's going pro. Probably on ESPN News.
Is it that early? Wow I didn't realize it. Thanks for pointing it out. That said, my point was that this is not a final list. As far as I can tell this is a comprehensive list as of now, meaning I've bounced around a couple sights and this is the aggregate list taken from all of them but it will certainly continue to grow and people not on the list like Dwayne Jarrett should not be seen as if they are staying in school because there is still time. Good looking out onionsack.
Your sure not, I thought I was the only one wanting a TE at the second pick. DL for the first pick definately, but if Zach Miller is still available at 37 or whatever (He's projected early second) then the Jets cannot pass on him, he's too good for that. I watched this guy for the past few years and he is Wayne "Chrebetish" a clutch third down player who can block, block, block. I'm telling you the Jets need Zach "The Truth" Miller. See sig for more info. :grin:
The 15th is the deadline, but you're right...at the rate the underclassmen are coming out, we still might be looking only at the tip of the iceberg. There are now rumblings that Maryland OT Jared Gaither might throw his hat in the ring. This draft has gone from weak to very VERY strong in the last few weeks.
Updated. 30% of the declared underclassmen are running backs. No offensive linemen have declared themselves eligible. Thinking broadly (QB, RB, OL, WR, DL, LB, DB), they are the only major position grade not to declare yet. No safeties either but Reggie Nelson should make himself available soon.
