Nine days until the draft, and...I'm feeling a need to demonstrate that I'm out of my depth when I try to 'think along with Bill.' Anyone else feel like prognosticating?
Unlike last year, when the Pats had no 1 or 2, they now (at least as of today) have 2 1s, 2 2s, and a bunch of other picks - meaning that BB can shift pretty well anywhere he pleases, to get the players he wants.
Which players are those? If history is any guide, your guesses will be better than mine...so let's get the contest in gear!
As in years past, here's the contest for 2017.
You get to name 20 players who you think the Pats will/might pick, plus the charity you think is most deserving of a contribution in your (screen) name. If you leave out a charity name, I'll plug in the Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber.
Scoring is just like previous years: three points for each player selected by the Pats in the first three rounds - 4 for round 4, 5 for round 5, 6 for round 6, 7 for round 7, and 8 pts for naming UDFAs signed by the Pats within 72 hours of the end of the draft. In an echo of sorts from previous years, 3 bonus points if a player on your list gets picked #219 (or with whatever pick ends up being the last one made by the Pats in the draft.
Free to enter, and bragging rights for whoever picks best - plus I'll donate $100 to the SoSH charity of choice in the name of whoever wins. I'd appreciate it if your entry took the form of last name, first name, position, college; your thoughts on the player are optional, but always appreciated.
In the event of a tie, the earliest entry is the winner.
Looking forward to hearing what/who you think the Pats will add through the draft!
