I've been up and down on him all year. More down recently, with good reason. He would certainly be another interesting, high upside selection.

Oh, watch out of Kendrick Ellis guys. Another guy we're supposedly on big time.

[TNPatsFan]

I agree. I wasn't impressed with Bailey this year at all. But they have shown a lot more interest in him than I would have expected. And he'd be another of those "upside" guys that the Pats are going for this year.

[ElectricEye]

My real question with Baileu is position. I don't think he's the most natural two gapper in the world and his first step is HORRIBLE, so OLB is completely off the table...I think? I don't know. Patriots have some pretty radical ideas about that type of stuff sometimes.

wasnt he arrested a few times and such?

I would hate it if we select Allen Bailey.. Absolutely hate it. Ellis would be great though, but I've read that his stock is free falling right now because of a failed drug test...

[ElectricEye]

Ellis? Pretty sure, yeah. Got kicked out of South Carolina for something. But I've heard rumblings throughout the process that we like him a lot and he certainty fits our requirements size wise for a five technique. Really good athlete for his size too, with decent edge skills. He doesn't fit out team leader/squeaky clean profile at all though.

[descendency]

I'm not sure what to say about Dowling, but please god do NOT select Allen Bailey. He sucks.

Al Davis is a vindictive son of a *****.

yeah great pick for them

[TNPatsFan]

Wiz to the Raiders. No surprise there. I hadn't heard the Pats linked to him at all anyway. I thought Franklin could have been a good pick as an OG (not at OT though), but he's gone now. I think they'll take an OG soon.

[ElectricEye]

I think the Colts just took Ijalana. I really liked him.

[Nalej]

I really liked Wiz. (Homer)

[TNPatsFan]

Two linemen for the Colts. They've identified their biggest need, that's for sure. It's a lot easier to fix that than to fix a poor pass rush, though.

[ElectricEye]

Well, touching Manning more than once a game just got even harder. Ijalana isn't a finesse linemen like most of Polian's crushes either.

[Nalej]

God, all I'm thinking right now is... J.Cunningham better make an epic leap in production this upcoming year

[ElectricEye]

....I don't think he's capable of that. I like Cunningham, but he's a solid starter, not an impact player.

[Nalej]

I don't think he'll ever be D.Ware
but he seems to always be in the backfield
I don't think being a 8-10 sack guy is out of the question

[ElectricEye]

He doesn't have the closing speed. He's a factor off the edge for sure, but he could have had at least five more sacks this year if he was slightly faster. That concerns me a whole ton.

[TNPatsFan]

Almost up to 56. I'd take Houston myself, but I don't expect that to happen. Maybe Acho or an OG or WR.

[Nandoss]

Two picks until ours and I'm praying none of them are Justin Houston.

[Nalej]

J. Houston *crosses fingers*

[ElectricEye]

Do we get desperate and try to make Martez Wilson into a pass rusher?

[Nalej]

I hope not

[ElectricEye]

We've done stranger things before. I hope it's a front seven player or a receiver here so bad...

[TNPatsFan]

It won't be Houston. He'll drop to round 4 or so. I'm guessing the pick will be an OL.
