Heres a good page to see our division picks. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...lps-produce-another-solid-class?module=HP_cp2 Damn those Pats for being able to wait for thier 5th pick to grab Mallet. Muhammad Wilkerson DT for the Jets first pick this guy is a player i don't like seeing him line up against us. All the more reason to invest in our O-line. Marcell Dareus 3rd in draft goes to the Bills nice nice grab and again good thing we went front line only problem is we might nead more depth here. Take the grades for what you want / the info on the page is the good part to me.
Stopped reading after: Which is the equivalent of saying: "Miami ignored needs at RB, TE, WR and interior OL and instead took a LT to back up Jake Long, that's why it was a strong draft for them." Instead of admitting that they were wrong about Mallett being a possible 1st rounder, the media (and fans) will say some team (Pats) was smart to take him. Personally, I'm glad NE took him instead of a pass rusher or a replacement for Stephen Neal and perhaps Logan Mankins. Mallett will not help them any time soon, and if he does it's b/c Brady is hurt and I have no problem w/ that either.
I skipped by most of the Patriots part was talking more of a total look at the division. If you didn't stop you would have noticed Miami wasn't slammed for skipping a QB. Needs at RB, TE, WR and interior OL were actually bragged about in Miami. I didn't see it as a slam to the Dolphins as they recieved a B this year not bad.
Johnny White will get some yards, just hope they are against the other division rivals. If of course New England only had two picks in the first three rounds, and if Long was 33 and not 26. With the number of picks New England had, Brady's age and possibility of getting hurt, the potential of Mallett, importance of the position, and the fact teams will give away more than they should for a Quarterback who hasn't shown much but has potential (see Whitehurst trade and if FA opens, the future Kolb trade); I'd say it wasn't a terrible pick. The greatest pick ever? No, but not sure it's a pick they'll regret either.
Kinda thought the analysis was poor. Especially where they point out the key picks. Every single one pointed out for every AFC east team was the top three picks for that team. Not the best value but highest talent. Big surprise it was in the early rounds. Only exception was skipping the Jets 4th rd RB pick and jumping to the 5th. Watch out guys, dont go out on a limb!
