Deus Irae

He probably didn't even sleep with Tara Reid.

Of course he did. Everyone slept with Tara Reid.

Gosh, I'm physically unattractive, and I had a chance with Tara Reid !

Why didn't we take Terrell instead of Seymour ? Why did we take Mankins ? blah, blah, blah...

Sometimes we miss, sometimes we do well by passing... who knows what the future holds ? That's why it's the future. BB has been pretty good at what amounts to an educated guessing game.

By the 2 weeks or so preceding the draft, it was pretty much common knowledge among draftnicks that Brown was not projecting as an OLB, and that we was possibly going to fall out of round 1 altogether.

That the Patriots passed on him was not a surprise to me. It was not a surprise to me that the Dolphins, Jets, Broncos, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, Cards, Niners or any other team playing anything that resembles a 3-4 passed on him either.

And lest we forget, Woods went undrafted.

Brown was a draftnik & pundit favorite...until weigh-in time, when it became clear that his school had VASTLY overstated his size. Forget 6'4", he's all of 6'1.4", between Mayo and Guyton in height. And as for agility and explosiveness, the likes of Sebastian Vollmer and Logan Mankins eclipsed Brown's cone, shuttle and vertical numbers.

That's not to say Brown won't be a successful player somewhere, but he is nothing like the prototype for a Pats OLB.

Look at Jon Beason. Slow, redflag forty at the combine, 4.77.

Undersized at 6'0", 237. How's he been doing? Jon Beason - Carolina Panthers He's a freakin' beast.

More productive than the other Hurricane drafted 2007 on the defensive side, Brandon Merriweather? Yep. Mike Reiss thinks so, too. Ask Reiss: What's in your fave five?

Sometimes the "system" has to make way for the players, even when they don't fit the prototype.

There was a time people believed the immobile, pocket passer like Brady was an obsolete facet of the game. Michael Vick was the NFL's future.

The game's played by the players, not the calculators.

Yup. And tall players with long arms block more of the passing lane.
