Wow. That is a steep price to pay but this kid is going to be a beast. Before Wallace this was the man I wanted.
Well to be honest, Vikings just came out of this draft with 3 day one starters. Shariff Floyd, Xavier Rhodes and Cordarrelle Patterson. That's an impressive haul.
The patriots did exactly what they should've done. They didn't have a glaring need and there wasn't a glaring player that they needed to draft, so they stockpiled picks for later where the talent pool is almost just as deep.
