2007 First Round pick coming back to the Patriots

Did the Pats FO even watch the game yesterday, this is terrible, what a bunch of cheap Bastards.

No one player is bigger than the team. I want to see what this team is like with a healthy Doug Gabriel and Chad Jackson. Good for the Pats for sticking to their guns for a first round pick. Branch is not worth Reggie Wayne money and that is that.

Branch isnt worth Wayne money... but either is Reggie Wayne himself. However if you put Branch in the Colts system, branch would be one of the best statstical WR in the game. With out Deion, Brady is going to struggle like yesterday.

You do realize that Brady lead this team to a Super Bowl win in 2001 with Fred Coleman and other scrubs as his receivers. Granted Troy Brown was there but they can still win without Branch.

Thats the key term when Doug Gabriel & Chad Jackson are healthy. Ben Watson should become the top receiver this season for Brady.

Hopefully Seattle does bad this year so the pick will be higher.

Well, if history holds true and it carries over to this season (which is unlikely with the experience and talent that the Seahawks have), no Superbowl losers have put up a .500 season the year after. It's true for the 2001 Giants, 2002 Rams, 2003 Raiders, 2004 Panthers, and 2005 Eagles.

This could be true for the 2006 Seahawks. The last team to put up a .500 season or better after losing the year before was the 2000 Tennessee Titans after losing to the Rams in the superbowl and putting up a 13-3 record the following season.

am i the only one who isn't extremely disappointed? brown, jackson, caldwell, watson, and graham are, while not like branch, but are 100% completely capable. and if our running game can hold up like it did vs. buffalo we won't really need to depend on the passing game like we did last year.

all i can say is hopefully we get a WR with that pick.

**schillingouttheks** · 09-11-2006, 02:44 PM

You forgot Gabriel. If he was able to receive 500+ yards last year behind Porter and Moss with KERRY COLLINS throwing to him, I'm not too concerned.

We have 2 first rounders next offseason. I would love a linebacker and a wide receiver.

Mr Crunchy · 09-11-2006, 02:46 PM

ya hopefully
they cant fuck signing the draft pix up because their salaries are pretty much slotted in cement

hey
they got peter gabriel and chad jackson and future all pro kelvin knight waiting on the practice squad
we're all set

Papelbon58 · 09-11-2006, 02:55 PM

i'd say seattle's FO got a little desperate or antsy after watching that game yesterday. While we cannot really say we are content, I think people make too big a deal out of Deion Branch, it does not decimate this unit. Watson will be the breakout player of the year

Mr Crunchy · 09-11-2006, 02:59 PM

watson is a tremendous athlete who will have big #s but without a deep threat the safetys play closer to the line and the zones get smaller as do the seams
the linebackers can play run run run and the corners can handle who ever we have on the outside 1-1
branch needed to be doubled
troy brown doesnt
bradys field just got shorter
