I was watching the draft at Hooters in Nashua on Saturday with a couple of friends.
We’re big time Pat’s fans. I boldly predicted that the Pat’s would select Brandon Meriweather with their first pick (24) and Jon Beason with their second pick (28).
When they selected Meriweather, they ribbed me as a lucky bastard. Then in the very next selection, Carolina took Beason so they commenced ribbing me even more.
I then boldly stated to look for the Pat’s to trade their pick since Beason is of the board. Two picks later when NE traded their pick to San Fran, all the ribbing stopped. Now they think I’m the draft guru or something but I admit it was just BS luck.
On an end note, kudos to San Diego, Brando Siler as a seventh round pick was an absolute steal. IMO he has all the makings of an All Pro Line Backer.
