Eh this is true.

I can't stand it every time I hear the Pats made a move in the draft.

But.

I don't remember the last time they drafted a player that turned out to be anybody..

Mayo's good but past that..?

I agree they aren't the best. McCourty and Tate are two good picks in the last 2 years, along with Mayo and Guyton previously.

Regardless, they are draft trading geniuses.

The rich get richer, and the desperate keep on failing. There is a reason why the Raiders are...well...the Raiders. Bad choices over and over again without correcting the problem. As a Skins fan, we've seen this poo go on for the past 12 years under Snyder's rule. Thankfully, that piece of poo is out of the football operations and spending his time bullying journalists in DC. I was happy as hell to see us move out of the 10 spot and pick up a extra 2nd. Reports are that the Raiders have contacted us about getting that #41 spot for their 1st in 2012. Apparently they want Kaepernick.

I think its why they are so willing to part with picks. They build from FA and on the belief that Vets will take a cut to win. They also win by one of the best calculating HC in the game. Just good coaching all around TBH.

I have some friends that are Pats fans and they're fed up with the Pats continuing to stockpile picks and NOT using them. What good is having 10 high value picks if you're just going to continue trading down?

Obviously it works given their success, but it's just confusing lol.

Jokes on them... They suck at drafting.

This is the Offense only....the majority of the starters were drafted by NE and I dare say their starting lineup is better than Carolina's.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
