We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

[Night Train]

We have enough WR's
We have enough RB's
We've drafted like 10 CB's lately (so it seems)
We're not drafting a QB
OOOOOOOh, look at that sexy TE !


We need...LINEMAN..on both sides of the ball.

You know... like winning teams do. See Patriots. It's science !

For crying out loud,I'm tired of copying the Lions (lack of) success plan.

THE NFL IS NOT A FREAKIN' MADDEN GAME !

Pettigrew is basically a 6th lineman... so that fits.

Ohh by the way, he can catch very well too.

I think he just might be our pick... yes it would be a shocker, yes some may think its a reach, but I would not be surprised.

And it would set this team back for years to come.

In your opinion.

In my opinion they already did that with the Peters move.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

Not only that if we get on with Fine, and another mid-round TE this year whilst sorting out the lines and maybe WLB, we will be able to draft one of:

Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma
Rob Gronkowski, Arizona
Dennis Pitta, BYU

In my opinion, all are better than Pettigrew, and Gronkowski has the ability to combine the blocking skills of his brother Dan, with the receiving skills of Cook, and Beckum.

Gresham and Gronkowski might be legitimate Top10 picks next year.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

Add WLB to that Linemen wish and I'm with you 100%. We simply cannot afford to do anything with those first two picks except go two of OT, DE, WLB.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

If we sort out the lines this year and also WLB, maybe S, we have a decent chance of making the playoffs.

Next year we can go after a skill player like a top TE, and go deep into the playoffs.

This team will not be a contender in one draft, but if we draft cleverly it maybe in two.

On paper, I agree.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

Casserly, Newsome and Lombardi all say that you take the best player available period, even if you don't necessarily need them.

Not disagreeing with this post, just sayin what some of the experts say.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

The pick has got to be an impact pick. I don't like Pettigrew at 11 at 28 now that is a good spot, but at 11 no way. That first pick has got to be in the trenches.

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

The game is won and lost in the trenches!!! I would not be upset is we went O-line/D-line the whole 1st day. I bunch TE in with O-line by the way

Re: We Need LINEMAN - Not Skill Players

The Patriots have only drafted 4 OL in the first three rounds in the past 10 years. The rest of their picks have been dominated by skill positions with a few DL in there.
