I read my first mock draft for next season yesterday. Noticed it had the Pats taking a QB in the first. Is Brady looking to call it a day soon?

Is it the one with Jake Locker at 17? that is possibly the worst mock I've ever seen (including that idiot Kiper having the Pats taking RB Leshoure with the 2nd first rounder).

I'm expecting one or both first rounders to be traded, if not it will probably go on a 3-4 DE (Dareus would be perfect) and a guard or OLB with the 2nd (Mike Pouncey to play guard would be fine by me).

The old Patriots thing of stockpiling draft picks in the middle of the draft - damn good strategy. I wonder when the last time a Patriots high draft pick was a bust ?

He can't run(apart from into the back of blockers), block, catch or take a hit apart from that he's a good player!

A rare player who doesn't want to put in the hard work which is a shame because he could be a good player in the right system, but instead would rather get payed to be a back-up

People are getting this Cassel thing wrong. I don't think many are doubting that he isn't top draw, he isn't even worthy of a pro bowl selection. The argument is that he isn't the worst QB in the league, which is what Conroy said many moons ago. Which he isn't. So now and again people post little friendly pops to remind him of another of his wrong statements.

It's the fact that SC still will not admit that maybe he was wrong about Cassell being the worst QB in the league that keeps me posting about him.

My last pick left for this week is the Steelers to win.

According to Jets fans, all of them

But there have been some fantastic first/second round pick ups under BB to counter the Chad Jacksons of the world. Jerod Mayo was a result of trading for a high pick, then trading that pick down...then back up

The way it works is, BB did economics at college so he goes for value, if a player is available at say #22, but he projects will still be on the board early in the second round, he will trade down and gain an extra pick (this is how the 09 draft added Butler, Chung and Brace at the top of the second round) I can't believe more teams don't do it tbh.

Was looking to buy the NCAA 11 game earlier but couldn't find it any cheaper than £43.99 (Was gonna buy rugby league live from the same place aswell but £49.99 = )

Not a chance Im paying that so may just have to buy Madden 11 again for £25
