Re: Someone explain the Pats' Draft to me. Someone has to explain this to me. How is it the Pats did "well" this weekend?They had 2 first round picks. They used one to take the 3rd (in my opinion) best Safety. They traded the other for a 1st round pick next year and a 2nd day pick. So next to nothing.They then traded their 3rd round pick for next to nothing as well.They traded a 4th round pick for a 1 year, 30 year old, 5 million dollar WR who doesn't upgrade the offense that much. They didn't address their CB issue. Samuel still wants out, and will be out by next year at the latest. Do they plan to roll with two rookie corners next year?But hey, they got a nice Safety and have a lot of draft picks next year. So how is this an A+ draft?

So how is this an A+ draft?</div>I don't think it's an A plus draft, but it's not an F minus either.My biggest 'complaint' against the Patriots draft is they failed to address their 2 biggest needs in my eyes and that is Linebacker (Pretty much their entire Linebacker core is in their 30s) and Cornerback (If Asante Samuel holds out....then what?)Meriweather was a good addition, as was Randy Moss, and getting a First and 3rd round pick next year was also smart, but they still failed to address their needs in my eyes.
Re: Someone explain the Pats' Draft to me. Maybe they'll switch Meriweather to corner. Either way I didnt think their draft was all that, definitely not an A.
Re: Someone explain the Pats' Draft to me. Either Meriweather or Eugene Wilson can play corner this year.The picks they acquired for next year are sure to be used to address their needs at corner once Samuel leaves and ILB.
