Maybe he does..but you know what kinda OLB's these NE guys like and Ayers is much closer to it than Miller is.

I would give him more credit than you.

Probably. And that's why we won't draft a left tackle, an outside pass rusher or a quarterback in the first round. The "Patriots Way" doesn't value the value positions.

I expect a OLB or a WR in next years draft...I still don't see this Cassel thing being over after this year.

Derrick Thomas (rip) does not play for you bundle of stickss. How many people have to tell you this?

If he has many more statlines that read like tonight's I'd imagine it will be. They won't win many games.

There are two things that suck about tonights win. #1 QB play was sub par. #2 If it wasn't for DMC return we would of lost on a last second FG by the Chargers.

It was bad, very bad. So bad in fact you could just see in the playcalling what Charlie Weis thought of him.

I really want the team to be good but we can't win with this QB.

Chiefs had a ****ing great win and this is the thread douchebag Hootie starts. What a piece of shit ****ing troll.

Agreed. Kansas City ripped the ****ing stage as a whole we showed why we're the best fans in the league. 6 wins the last 2 years and yet that place was so loud I heard that you couldn't even hear the announcers on the tv. Plus this rookie class looks ****ing good along with the 2008 class we all should be very proud to be Chiefs fans.

I didn't click on this thread last night cause I knew exactly what it was, and it is why I started my thread.

We won the game.

I don't give a rat's ass whe was right and who was wrong about any player, the draft, or anything else.

I could sit here and point out a couple players in that game that I've given my opinions about and say "Look at me, I was right", but I just don't care.

It was a win.

Only a douche needs to start this kind of thread after that win.

I will say this.

I won't point to a player that I have discussed about in negative terms who showed he is what I think he is in this game.

I will point to Javier Arenas, though, and say, if he continues to give us the field position he did last night, and he grows as the nickleback, after playing the position last night pretty well overall, then I will happily admit that I was wrong about that pick.

I like the crawfishing MFer :) has there been a Dane sighting today or did his negative vag explode with a win?

FWIW, the Patriots have invetsed very little in the way of high draft picks on OLine during the Belichick era.

Matt Light was a high 2 (2001).

Mankins was the last pick in the first round (2005, I think it was).

Vollmer was a late 2, taken after we had 3 other 2nd round picks (2009).

And that, I think, might be it for OL picks used in the first three rounds over 10 years. 30 picks, and 3 on OLine.

They beileve in "coaching them up" and think that you don't need any kind of rare size/speed/power combo that is only available high in the draft to get a serviceable player.

It's also NOT where they have spent their free agent dollars. Instead, they let Damien Woody go when he was a FA and too pricey, and early in BB's years with the Pats they cut the high priced OLinemen that we had.

Don't think you can draw that conclusion from the Patriots draft, except maybe at OLB.

QB -- Pats haven't needed one since BB has been in charge and Brady was the man, which is basically his entire tenure. You think we should spend a hihg pick on QB?!?

Left Tackle has been all set since we spent a high 2 on Matt Light. Light is getting older and his potential replacement was another 2, SeaBass Vollmer.

OLB, yeah, no argument. In fact, many Pats fans are very, very unhappy about the lack of investment made in draft picks on OLB. Of course, we wouldn't be screwed if ADalius Thomas hadn't shat the bed, but whatever, that's where we are.

It's hard to take anything Hootie says seriously with that asinine way he posts
With one line...

and another....

with a bunch of stupid dots after each line....
