We have so many positions of need it's not even funny. Taking BPA in damn near every pick will likely net 5-6 opening day starters in draft picks alone. Pioli's hand picked scouts have an entire season to evaluate talent to fit the scheme were running. THIS is the draft class that will determine who was the head behind building the Patriot franchise. If I were making decisions in the draft room, it would go something like this...

1. Berry (SS)
2. McClain or Spikes (ILB)
2. Damian Williams (WR)
3. Josh McNeil (C)
4. Reshad Jones (FS)
5. Vladimir Ducasse (OG)
5. Rashawn Jackson (FB)
5. Pat Angerer (IBL)
5.
5.

That'd be awesome if you wouldn't list guys who are going in the 1st round as our 2nd round picks.

I see this board still loves average linebackers. Lets draft McClain instead of getting a guy like Dillard who will be just as good in the 3-4 in the 4th round. These are the same idiots who think Curry was a better prospect than Maulaga.

I'm hoping one of the two fall to the top of the 2nd round. Every year there's always that guy who was supposed to be a mid 1st rounder that falls out of the 1st. Drew Breese being the perfect example of a franchise player dropping out of the 1st.

Oh Yeah... just another STFU since I haven't told you in a while.

You know I was going to reply to a few of the comments in this thread right here, but you just summed up everything I was thinking with your above post Scott. Good Job. :clap: Rep!

Johnson?

Barber splits carries and is taller and bigger than Charles

lol @ comparing Charles to Faulk

Garner split carries too.

Philadelphia doesn't have a big back, New Orlenas doesn't have a big back, San Diego doesn't have a big back. All these teams fill in the blank.


A Banger isn't a must a RB who has the nose for a goal line is and Spiller scored atleast 1 tocuhdown in every game this season.

He is Jesus,come to earth in flesh.

What you are calling explosiveness I'm calling quick to the hole. But his specialty was reading blocks, making quick decisions, and picking his way through traffic. Excellent running back skills except for the explosiveness part. If he had been truly explosive he'd been one of the greatest backs ever.

Doesn't Charles have a chronic shoulder issue that has caused problems since college? If so, it's only a matter of time before it catches up with him and he misses significant time.

I'm thinking that, if Charles is the only offensive threat, teams will key on him and try to punish him. Get rid of the opponents best player: not very sportsmanlike, but a sound strategy and, I think, pretty common in the NFL.

I see more flashes of Allen from Charles than Priest.
