  It's just good NE actually has a pick after all the pending and past indiscretions LOL...Jenkins or McKelvin is who I would like them to draft, A top-notch CB...or LB which this year is weak for drafting...Gholston was slammed by Hoge this morning as a much over-rated player who has talent but not an animal on field...I like Ellis sure...who is going to draft DMcFadden is one the most intriguing picks today-obvious...the 7th pick for NE?...that high, dont you take the most talented player no matter what position...who knows...can't wait...NE will have their picks even though they might have a dismantled franchise the rookies can't play for...laughs

    That dismantle franchise is still the early odds-on favorite to make it to the SB. Two decent picks with Mayo at LB and Wheatly at CB. I have seen a lot from Wheatley and really like him. Whether he can play right away, I don't know. I think he has great instincts and is a good cover corner.

      was a joke about dismantle, LOL, as they had nice little draft start with picks they had, as that FO is still top-notch given events...franchises perservere unless they run out of dough...whatever for now, draft was real entertaining and congrats Five on getting Jenkins as secondary is equal to all in NFC East easy...ne got what they needed and have read a little on all CB's in draft and the Wolverine looks raw, but talented as you state...best case, he is an Asante clone...that draft 1st round was odd also as their were several teams where I was shaking my head and saying most FO's wouldn't do that...and you knew Oakland would get DMcFadden...yeah Five, if status quo and team can 100% clean slate it, NE is undeniably a top five team....shoot, oh yeah Ellis?.. .unless team's philosophy was great depth on D-line, saw no needs for those 3 positions on a 3-4 as D-line is strength of ne D...

        Yeah, I couldn't see the Pats taking a D lineman or even an OL. They got the LB from Michigan and he is a good sized LB. Those N.E. linebackers are going to be receiving their social security checks before long, so that position needed to be addressed. I see they drafted another CB, too.

        shoot, I was thinking of the CB from Colorado, not dang Michigan...Like Mayo as primary and Merriweather will assume bigger role this year
