TaborJet Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Was Jerod Mayo the pick the Patriots wanted all along? Did they really want Gholston, but after the Jets took him, just said oh well and trade down? I'm reading that they had this trade down in place before the draft. The Boston media is yet again stroking the NE front office, calling it masterful. What say ye, Patriot faithful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hopefully Capers had a lot of say in this matter. After Walsh meets with the Commish in May he is going to be the new head coach. So his opinion is the only one that matters at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they really want Gholston, but after the Jets took him, just said oh well and trade down? I'm reading that they had this trade down in place before the draft. The Boston media is yet again stroking the NE front office, calling it masterful. What say ye, Patriot faithful? Seriously, I have no idea. I heard the interviews with BB and Mayo last night. BB said that he loved Mayo's versatility - he has played inside and outside, and that he hadn't had an lb rated that high in a long time. BB values versatility, that's for sure. I suspect there is something to that. Since when does BB ever pick an LB in the first, or second, round? Never. The interview with Mayo was more telling. Guess the Pats brought him in a few times for private work outs and interviews. Mayo stated that he "felt" that the Pats were really interested in him and he felt confident that he would be picked by them. That could be his agent speaking in his ear though - I don't know. I just don't think that they were targeting Gholsten. That's just my gut feeling. My gut has been wrong - rarely - but it has I'm much more concerned with their 2nd round pick. ANOTHER FRICKIN' MIDGET DB! Enough with the shorties!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's 5'9" I think. It's like the Pats FO has a mandate that no corner can be taller than 5'10".....is it because Bob Kraft is short? Is it a napolean complex thing? Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the papers up here "The guy they had listed #1 on their board all along" bull**** those smelly bastards said that about Andy THE BIG CAT years ago they took him because VG and Rivers had been picked. And by the way good luck with your new CB another great pick by the cheaters cut 5 of last years picks you do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotReign37 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yes, NE got a LB. Mayo has played LB since pee wee football. All 3 LB positions in fact. NY got a DE who better learn the LB spot FAST because he is too small to play DE in the Pros. Those of you that are religious should pray every night. OSU players arent the brightest candles.

You got me! The Jets are the superior team. From what I understand, the Pats felt that last years draft class was crap. The cuts they made would attest to that - either that or they sucked at it last year. I suspect your team affiliation would predict what side of that fence you fall on. Plus, as far as I'm concerned the trade for Moss WAS the Pats draft last year. It worked out pretty well. Not all the way well - but I was pleased with that move.

124 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 OSU players arent the brightest candles. Yeah, you're right. Nick Mangold is dumb as a stump and hasn't done anything for the Jets. His inability to grasp Schottenheimer / Mangini's confusing Offensive formations has hurt his game and he will be out of the league in three years. I'll take my chances with Tressel's players.

You've not only competing against the Jets. You're competing against the rest of the NFL. The following is a list of teams that have won Super Bowls since the last time the Pats did: Giants Steelers Colts The facts are they haven't drafted well recently and for a franchise that prides itself of winning through the draft...that's an ominous sign. Brady won't play forever. The time to build is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to pile on an fellow Pats fan, but Mike Vrable has worked out exceptionally well too....playing inside LB, outside lb and the occasional TE stints for TD's. Hmmm....what school did he go to?
