Patriots NFL Draft theory with Mike Mayock

[Matt McGuire]

I really feel like Mayock has surpassed Kiper (who will always be the godfather of the Draft) in terms of NFL Draft analysis. Watch him break down how Belicheck and Co. evaluates their draft strategy back in 2004.

Very interesting video, but he should evaluate more teams like that.

lol good point more Pats love

Yea that year when VW fell that low I was pissed NE got him.

Mel Kiper just doesn't impress me that much. I'm not saying he isn't great and I respect his reputation, but I've like Maylock more also. He lisp kinda pisses me off though lol.

I watch the first round of the draft though on ESPN because it is more visually appealing. After that I turn the channel to NFLN...they do a very underrated job at covering the draft...much better than ESPN imo but for the first round I have to watch it on ESPN (I love Kiper, the music, Berman when he doesn't tell you what player the team picks before they pick)

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Berman when he doesn't tell you what player the team picks before they pick

That's important. I like to hear it at the podium. I also love Berman, but I watch the whole draft on NFLN

I gotta have my ESPN...I love when they show the players' highlight, the Draft music goes on, and Kiper analyzes the pick/player. It gives me a semi-orgasm

Well there you have it for all the ladies on this site...

lol I'm pretty sure if there were ladies on this site I'd be getting laid because of my NFL Draft knowledge.

[bills_red]

I love MM but I HAVE to watch Kiper and Berman.
I think I might tape the NFLN one and watch it later....

I think I would be getting laid because everyone loves a man with No Nonsense lol

mayock was wrong about the Jets in 04. They were a 4-3 at the time. Herm was in charge. They made the right pick at the time in Vilma.

[Matt McGuire]

Yeah I noticed that too, but I don't expect Mayock to be perfect, he gets those concepts right. The point was that the Jets wanted Vilma and weren't going to draft Wilfork.

I remember how Bucs fans were dying to get Vilma and so pissed when the Jets took him...I was one of those (but I was mad we didn't draft Steven Jackson).
