I participated in a user mock draft on the Sports Inferno forum. Each poster took a team. I chose the Patriots. Each poster drafted for that team. Here is who I drafted:

Pick #21: Lendale White - RB, USC
I was targeting a LB like Ryans here, but couldn't pass up on White. Dillon is getting old, and isn't the power RB that their offense calls for anyway.

Pick #47: Thomas Howard - LB, UTEP
Howard is one of the best LB's after Hawk and Greenway. He will help a lot in an injury depleted LB group.

Pick #77: Demetrius Williams - WR, Oregon
Troy Brown is retiring, Branch is a FA. Williams will step in as the third WR with a chance to be more.

Pick # 85: Daniel Bullocks - S, Nebraska
A solid playmaker center fielder will help a lot in Billicek's defense.

What do you think?

Since Ryans is supposedly a dumbass thanks to his Wonderlic score and bad workouts, that was probably a good pick. The Patriots with a power RB would be crazy.

People heap on a lot of praise about Howard, but he is a pretty good LB, so I don't mind that pick.

I'm a huge fucking homer, but the Williams pick is SOLID. He's a playmaker.

A safety in the later rounds is a decent choice for the Patriots, but they might go O-line or do something screwy with it.

Good job overall.

I think they might be looking to add a CB. But outside of that it's a good draft so far.

Looks good to me.


That safety pick's in the third, not the later rounds. I doubt they'd do anything too crazy there other than maybe trade.

I think they might be looking to add a CB. But outside of that it's a good draft so far.

Yeah, I wanted to add a CB in the third as well, but there was a lot of them taken. Instead I chose to add a good safety since their secondary could use help anywhere really. They could always add a FA CB like Woodsen.
