New England Patriots thread (MOD WARNING - #4503)

Lads we would need some serious coordination here for a Boardsie tailgate. I haven't gone to a Pats Home game since 2001. And yes it was the old Foxboro .

Hey guys..going to be in states next October and mad to see an NFL game! Options are the saints v pats in Boston or cowboys v eagles in Philly. Wreckon it could be a shootout in pats game but a great rivalry in Philly! How hard to get tickets for these games and how much roughly!? Cheers

At the end of the day, if we're going to the same game then tailgating will be the easy part because we're guaranteed to be the in the same place at the same time.

We can practise though. I say we get in a few beers in Dublin one of the first few weeks of the season for a Pats game, or even go full hog and organise the American Football forum first beers and extend the invite to anyone who wants to come along.

I'm genuinely serious about heading over for a game so I can't wait for this!

You might have to have that pint in Dublin without me but when you guys hit MA we can arrange to meet in Boston for a pint also. And anything I can do stateside to organise it for you I will. Im sure Hazy if not busy will jump in also considering he is there also

Great suggestion JaMarcus to meet up for some test run beers in Dublin. I'm down in the whest! But if I'm willing to get to Boston, then I will make Dublin no probs.

If ye guys make over, count me in for tailgating, beers, etc.

And the plot thickens.

Hopefully we can find someone to trade Jeff Demps to and pick up an extra draft pick in the process. I suspect Bill will trade away the first rounder and pick up some extra picks mid-round. What do you guys reckon?

Yeah been saying it a while now that we will most likely trade out of the 1st round. Not many pure talent in the draft and plenty of cheaper options lower down so it makes sense to drop out and bulk up in later rounds

Incredible

After trading away the first round pick as expected, we now have the following picks.

Second round (52)
Second round (59)
Third round (83)
Third round (91)
Fourth round (102)
Seventh round (226)
Seventh round (229)
Seventh round (235)

And I'll be staying awake for the rest of the draft now.

I think so, the depth and best value is really good between 2nd-4th rounds alright. So pretty pleased with their wheeling and dealing.

Delighted with that bounty of picks. Tonight's going to be interesting - I don't see us using all four but should see 2 or 3 players picked up. Gonna miss it though

Phone and Tablet are set to this Pats thread only. Should keep me out of trouble until I start coaching in the Fall. Don't want to say something stupid on here and ruin that.

Looks like Corvus and TO got their wish with the 1st round pick trade. It was one sweet deal.

The missus is coming over. Might be able to catch bits of it, but haven't converted her to a full blown fan yet so the draft might be a bit boring for her! Will have her fully converted by October, don't you fellows worry

I'll be happy with a DE/DL, CB and WR tonight. Don't mind if we trade one of the picks. Technically, if you believe scouts, we already have a first round pick in Armstead so this is working out very well

If you're going for some Shock and Awe, just make sure it's football related.:D

I'd be happy with that selection too. Speaking of Armstead, did one of you guys put up some footage of him in the past? Because in my auld age, I can't seem to remember any.

I would also agree on those selections also and there is plenty of options left in the draft for us to grab.

Hazys

Well this thread has taken a weird turn lol


Love the trade especially since they say there isn't supposed to be much difference between the 20-32 picks and the 33-64 picks.

I way prefer this:

Second round (52)
Second round (59)
Third round (83)
Third round (91)
Fourth round (102)
Seventh round (226)
Seventh round (229)
Seventh round (235)

To:

1st round (29)
Second round (59)
Third round (91)
Seventh round (229)
Seventh round (235)

I'm torn over the trade. We obviously got loads of value for the pick, but the reason we got that sort of value is because Patterson should have been off the board long before that point. If WR wasn't such a position of need for us I'd be over the moon about it, but Patterson was such a top prospect that I'm going to wait and see how the rest of the picks go before fully making my mind up about the trade. I assume the Patriots war room was thinking somewhat along those lines too, hence why they got so many picks for #29.
