This is why its important to read.  They were originally the 2nd overall pick.  The article says they traded down to number 6 weeks ago, followed by trading down to number 14.

Not sure I see the Pats as losers–this year quality over quantity and if all 4 players make a contribution, combined with the moves in free agency then I think the Pats will have no problem with less picks.

Would have to disagree on the Rams…Sam Bradford got killed last year and still has no one to throw to…

There’s no problem with the Pats not having any picks past the 2nd round, they end up cutting those guys every year anyways. 

Besides that, they can still trade down and get into some of the later rounds if they don’t like who is available.

They cut Hernandez?

Do you proofread at all?

right dummy but they traded the 2nd about 6 weeks ago to the skins so they could draft RG3. Where have you been? Read what he wrote it is clearly in there

Yes they did originally,,,then traded it to the Redskins…

@Josh…they had #2 overall, and traded to Wash in the RG3 deal.

Not sure why anyone would even worry 1 second over lack of late picks…
1st rounders have a 75% hit rate
2nd rounders have a 50% hit rate
3rd rounders have a 25% hit rate
after that it’s 10% or so…meaning every other year you find 1 guy that’s any good after round 3

Bill has been bucking the statistical trend by making more late picks, and he has had predictably inconsistant results…Ernie Adams must have finally showed him the odds, because this year Bill’s finally going for quality vs throwing them away on qty.

Everybody remembers Tom Brady in the 6th round, but forgets the other 40 stiffs they’ve wasted picks on the last 10 years.

Please, please, please use both 2nd round picks.  The Pats don’t need depth.  They had depth players last year.  The problem was the depth players were starting or at the very least playing way too much.  They need to draft impact players and those players are found in rounds 1 and 2.  GO PATS!!!

No pick after the 2nd round? Who cares…remember when Mike Ditka traded all his picks for Ricky Williams in 1999. Ditka put the wig on and declared “I’m goin fishin” …priceless!

If BB gets the player he wants with one of the second round picks, then he will probably trade the other pick for two addtional picks in the later rounds. He will only make the trade if he sees a player or two worth drafting in the later rounds.

I am almost positive BB will either trade down or trade one of his second round picks for later picks!!  He is probably jonesing to acquire more picks!!
