buffaloboyinATL Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 DeCastro went to Pittsburgh. Which clearly makes the Pats* better. Pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Jones, Decastro, and Hightower....Wow....That's all I have to say So let me get this straight... The Pats* secondary was HORRIBLE last year. They lost one of their DE's to us and the other hasn't been signed yet. In a pass happy league they just drafted a LB who will probably come off the field in the Nickel and Dime packages. They haven't addressed the secondary yet and replaced a DE. Personally I dont get the WOW, they can do no wrong. Edited April 27, 2012 by Wayne Cubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If Decasto was really a Pat* right now, I'd be a lot more concerned. But he isn't. Bellychick is still ignoring his biggest needs -- oline and secondary. Obviously, he knows what he is doing, but I would rather these picks than seeing NE countering our dline.

They can do no wrong because they are the Pats and we are the Bills who can do no right. At least according to some posters in the Gilmore thread....

Thurmal34 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 BULLETIN: Pats* have 2 #1s and 2 #2s. PTR I think the Pats did well with Jones and Hightower, but I have to say I was very surprised to hear that they have no picks at all on Saturday. I mean it makes sense with Brady aging, and their depth isn't too bad, but to have only 4 picks is kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Jones and Hightower....Wow....That's all I have to say (Made the mistake of Decastro due to false text. sorry...) Just don't see Jones playing OLB in this league, he's not quick enough or fluidity, he should be on a 43 team at End. Hightower on the otherhand makes me real nervous.

Wayne Cubed Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just don't see Jones playing OLB in this league, he's not quick enough or fluidity, he should be on a 43 team at End. Hightower on the otherhand makes me real nervous. Againts the run, yes Hightower could be good. But with all the passing and 4/5 WR sets, I doubt he see's the field in dime and nickel packages. Mayock made an interesting point about Bruce Irvin(as pass rush specialist), which I think also applies to Donta Hightower. He said 4-5 years ago a player like Irvin wouldn't see the field as much, but seeing as the league is passing much much more, he'll be on the field A LOT more. So, I understand that Hightower is great in run support and pass rush via blitz, but I think his effect is nuetralized because his cover skills are questionable. LB's and Safety's that can cover are all the rage in the NFL. In dime and nickel situations, a LB will have to come off the field, I doubt its Mayo and Brandon Spikes is a good LB in his own right. Just a thought. Personally I think the Pats* crapped the bed. They didn't draft a CB(yet), they didn't draft a safety(yet) and they haven't drafted any lineman. There secondary was arguably the worst in the league last year. Matt Light is retiring and the rest of their line is aging fast(except N. Solder). Yes, they possibly replaced M. Anderson leaving with Jones. But they also drafted a run stuffing LB, which wasn't of great need. With 2 picks left in this years draft, they may in fact not fill the holes they need to.

If you look at their roster, they can use help everywhere except QB, TE, NT and LB. Their secondary was atrocious, they had little pass rush and lost Anderson, Ellis and Warren (latter two still available, however), their guards (esp. Waters) are getting old, their WR are ancient by NFL standards and they lost their best RB. That said, they made the SB last year obviously, but I finally expect the fall off we've all been waiting for for years, but we've said that before....

eball Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Funny thing about this here NFL draft...they actually allow EVERY team to make selections. The Pats* used theirs on some football players. Yippee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who is Yuri? Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Good lord, the Pats just keep getting worse! Jones and Hightower were players that weren't even on my radar. Bellicheck must be on drugs! What are they thinking?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hate to say it but N.E. clearly stole the show last night. Two studs that could be really good for a long time. A Super Bowl team just got way better on D. The bar has been raised in the AFCE. One side thought on N.E.'s pick. If you listen to a lot of sports talk radio, you hear how It's a pass happy league and importance of players drafted is shifting. Tackles and ends don't matter as much with the three step drop. You need corners because of the empty set. Well N.E. was decimated in the secondary last year. They were bringing in street F.A.'s and playing receievers in the backfield. They threw a uniform on a hot dog vender and played him in coverage one game. So what does Belichick do? He drafts a DE and a LB? Who do you think knows more about NFL defenses, Bill Belichick or some talking heads behind a microphone that have never stepped onto a football field?
