Three-round Patriots mock draft picks from Kiper & McShay

by

The longer the mock draft the more and more ridiculous it becomes, but that doesn’t stop ESPN’s resident draft gurus Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay from doing three rounders. At least they don’t attempt the ultimate exercise in futility, aka the seven round mock draft.

Here’s who they have the Pats taking:

Kiper

  • Cameron Jordan
  • Justin Houston
  • Danny Watkins
  • Jonathan Baldwin
  • Daniel Thomas
  • Marcus Gilchrist

McShay

  • JJ Watt
  • Mark Ingram
  • Clint Boling
  • Daniel Thomas
  • Jabaal Sheard
  • Marcus Gilchrist

Instead of criticizing these picks (and I definitely don’t see all these guys as great fits) let’s just imagine that these are the actual results of who the Patriots drafted. Either way you get a sense of just how much talent the Pats are poised to add yet again this spring.

But clearly there are some divisive prospects on here. McShay’s draft alone would be great fodder for the podcast since Frenz would be psyched to get Watt, but scratching his head over Ingram.

Interesting that both mocks had Daniel Thomas and Marcus Gilchrist as selections, and along with Jonathan Baldwin make up the only three that aren’t on my big board.

Baldwin had some character flags that caused me to drop him. I believe there are better backs available than Thomas, though he’s big and seems like he would add a new element to the Green-Ellis/Woodhead backfield.

Gilchrist projects to safety but his lack of physicality is a big of a flag to me as well. There is definitely a need for a developmental free safety so perhaps Gilchrist could be a good fit, especially if he could play a little nickel corner as Wes Bunting believes he could day one.

Kinda feels like off-season Danny Woodhead day, so why not a little highlight package of him. Excited to see what he can do after a full year to digest the playbook and come in ready to contribute.

One of the biggest reasons I enjoy being a Patriots fan so much are special players like Wes Welker and Woodhead who might get overlooked by other teams, but BB finds a spot for them and allows their talent to shine. So much fun to watch…

Woodhead for Madden Cover?

Woodhead for Madden Cover?

There’s a lot of debate right now in Patriots Nation about whether or not we want Danny Woodhead on the cover of Madden 2012. Personally I’m all for it, I don’t buy into stupid curses and having Woody on the cover would be great for promoting the sport to tiny white guys. It’s also nice that it has a little “one that got away” element for the Jets as well. So vote for Woody!

ESPN: Belichick unanimously voted best coach

ESPN: Belichick unanimously voted best coach

Um der…

Also had to include this quote:

For the first time in ESPN.com’s individual Power Rankings series, the eight panelists reached unanimity. Each of us voted Belichick the NFL’s best head coach, and there’s little room for argument.

As someone who has scrolled through their comments for the past three years, I can hear the Spygate whiners already.

But Belichick hasn’t won anything since the New England Patriots were caught videotaping defensive hand signals …

That’s true, I suppose, if you don’t consider 51 victories, a .797 win percentage, three division titles and a trip to the Super Bowl not winning anything. I’m pretty sure fans of any team other than the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants gladly would trade their past four years for the Patriots’ so-called embarrassments.
