huh??????????

Chung was drafted in the 2nd round in 2009 and played in all 16 games that season.

He was a difficult find in 2009?...I don't remember it that way...I remember lots of differing opinions on who should have been taken instead.

1) The issue we are discussing finding a starter to replace Chung if he moves on. Chung started EXACTLY one game in his rookie year and had 25 tackles for the season. And, yes, he a had a reasonable rookie year.

2) The players that we thought should have been taken instead of Chung were not safeties.

Some wanted us to draft the top corner available (one that Belichick drafted a few spots later).

A couple wanted one of the centers.

Most of us cried for a linebacker. There were many, but Connor Barwin was the board favorite. My favorite linebacker was Laurinaitis.
