Which players to draft?

[Bay445]

Ok so I am starting a new dynasty with Pats and I was wondering what your guys input is on who to draft in the 2008 draft reapeat, also, I think it should also be stated that I have 2 first round picks. (7) and (11)

OK I use the Pats ALOT and I can put in some insight.
At 7 usually 1 of these guys is available:
USC ROLB Keith Rivers
LSU DT Glenn Dorsey
Arkansas HB Darren McFadden

At 11 if one of those three above are still available pick them, if not trade down to pick 25 or lower and pick Miami (FL) SS Kenny Phillips he will be a nice replacement for Rodney Harrison.

I'd stay away from Glenn Dorsey, he gets injured. a lot. And not just in games, He'll injure himself in practice too. Also he's a pain to deal with. I had him repeatedly get injured and then complain about his lack of playing time.

McFadden is a reach at 7, but I've seen him drop that far before. He's completely worth it.

Oh yeah I see him do that alot too in my Bucs chise. so thats why he complains. when i drafted dorsey at 7 in my pats chise i never did get that far so i didnt see that.
Mcfadden is awesome (BALPot 97 which is best in the draft) so I'd say mcfadden, rivers, dorsey

McFadden is great, especially since using the Patriots offense will keep him healthy.

I would go McFadden-Rivers; you just might win both Rookie of the Year awards!

Pats have enough talent that paying for a top 15 draft pick is a bit useless. The Draft is very deep. For example you can get Manningham at wr in round 3. He makes an excellent number 3 WR. TE Finley at 3 is good too. DT Dre Moore at 3 or MLB Tavares Gooden at 3 are also good.

From 3-5 you can get CB Bowman who is pretty darn good, or SS Steltz. DT Rubin is good for a 3-4 the pats run.

Hard to lose with them pats!
