Yes you did. In fact you quoted the post and those were the exact words you used.

Perhaps I am, but perhaps you should take note that your style of posting is presenting you this way. Its pretty obvious from the responses you are getting, not just from me, but from a slew of other posters.

OK so you quoted a post and made a one sentence comment in response to it, but it wasn't a response to what the post stated?
Why were you quoting the post then, and what was that comment in response to?

Give him a shot

Reach or not he's now a Patriots player and deserves the full support of the fan base.

Good luck with that.
There will be a large contingent of fans rooting for him to fail and exhalting in it if he does.

Poor coverage skills and tackling technique hmmmmm....

I think the funny part is that a lot of people questioning the pick seem to be thinking that BB just decided to take him in the 2nd round for absolutely no reason. BB ALWAYS has a reason for what he does. We may not agree with it, and it may turn out to be wrong, but I don't think any decision regarding his football teams has ever been made while thinking, "Eh, whatever..."

In this case, my best guess (which is all anyone has at the moment) is that he had reason to believe someone was targeting Wilson at the end of the 2nd and he was the only safety left on their board rated high enough to take. Whether their information on other team's boards was accurate or not we'll never know, but that seems like the most plausible explanation.

I find it very interesting that in a draft that was considered very weak for secondary players and basically weak overall that after what if it pans out could be one of the best 1st rounds ever for the Pats D such a hew and cry has gone up because of this one 2nd round pick. Let me put it this way no matter what safety or DB they picked at the spot was guaranteed to be a great player because of the weakness at the position in general. Therefore why not pick someone that might contribute on S/T's as a star with the potential to get playing time at S? And for those who say trade down then, maybe they tried and could not get it done, fact is you will never know. Also you don't know if they got word another team might pick him.

I am just astounded at all the wailing and nashing of teeth that is going on over this one pick.....its crazy IMHO. How about we let the kid hit the field and see what he brings before we start the kid is a bust and BB doesn't know what he is doing.

Thanks! That helped me

It baffles belief that people would want players on their team to fail. Sure, I didn't exactly embrace the thought of Sergio Brown or Gary Guyton commanding reps, but I sure as hell wanted them to be the best players they could be whilst on the field. It's a foreign concept to me, rooting against your own. I almost feel obliged to stick Wilson on the binkie list.
