good pick too..
MVP of his team on special team and defense
Will be all over the field for them, I love the pick but I wanted Dez
Bryant whom we GAVE to Dallas
really.
make an effin pick already.
and then a CB.
hmmmm. a good CB is always nice to have.
But useless if a QB has a week and a half to find an open receiver. No
pressure on QB's = No serious shot at a Superbowl

Stolen from one of the many articles on the draft:
1.22 New England Patriots - Efficiency rating: +40
It's a bit surprising that draft guru Bill Belichick has drafted only one
Pro-Bowler in the last five years. However, 14 of his picks in the last five
years are starting for the team and 16 more are backups on the team. If you
don't know that QB Tom Brady is their best pick in the last 10 years (sixth
round in 2000), you probably haven't read this far into this draft-geek
post. Chad Jackson, you might remember, was a second round pick in 2006. The
Patriots released him in 2008.
First-round picks in the last five years
a.. 2009: No first-round picks
b.. 2008: Jerod Mayo, ILB, 1.10
c.. 2007: Brandon Merriweather, DB, 1.24
d.. 2006: Laurence Maroney, RB, 1.21
e.. 2005: Logan Mankins, G, 1.32
they'll fix that on day 2.. trust in belichick
More or less, Pro Bowl doesnt mean anything... He has done a great job
drafting "Team" guys..
Mayo had a off second season due to injury right away but still played
decently when he was back and healthy. He will still be a beast in the
years to come I hope, this season should be alot like his rookie of
the year season.
Merriweather is a hell of a player and is only getting better. Made
some mistakes but nobody is perfect every game.
Maroney is borderline bust/valuable to us... He did some good stuff in
meaningful moments but also failed alot. You're always waiting for
him to breakout after a great game but he ends up fading away
quickly. He's not even our best running back unfortunately.
Mankins is awesome
-----------
Hopefully we draft that Toby Gearhart? He could play Fullback for us
since nobody sees him as a real running back.
There's alot of talent left and Bill helped us with those two moves
last night and aquiring a couple extra players or using it as trade
bait later on..
He's really not as bad as you might be making him out to be..
He's still young, This should be a season for him to show what he
has.. He's been with us only a few seasons up until now
Video at 11!!
you're right but he's done alot of good stuff out there too, he is
just lookin for consistency. Belichick supposedly loves him though
