The trade ruffled some feathers, but it makes sense if they have a crowd of guys graded evenly. And then accumulating picks like that gives the ammo for when a guy like Nick Cross falls.

Yes, people are dogging their draft. Of course everybody will shit their pants when a guard is taken. I know a little of the CB from Houston and I think he's good. We'll see. I have a hard time personally ridiculing Belichick's decisions. The exploding heads are definitely fun to watch, though.

I've been saying I'm very intrigued by our DB personnel and Bradley's scheme. Cross just adds more to it. I really liked that pick. Makes me feel better in case Blackmon needs more time, too.
