I'm not in love with the fact that we took a corner so early, I'm not in love with the fact that we passed up on more heralded pass rushers like Carlos Dunlap for his less heralded teammate. What I am in love with is the fact that it seems like we got some kids that are tough, physical, and passionate about the game. It reminds me of the picks and free-agent pick-ups of the early part of the decade. In those 05-08 years we were picking the physical beasts that didn't live up to their potential (see: Chad Jackson, Ben Watson, Laurence Maroney...) which kind of reminds me of one of my binkies for this year: Carlos Dunlap. Instead we went with the guys that maybe didn't do so great at the combine (Spikes) or that didn't have a huge name (Cunningham). Seeing the passion that Gronk has really excites me, and everything I see and read about all the others since they've been picked pretty much parallels this. I think we got a handful of passionate kids that love the game of football and are really going to help bring the "Patriot Way" back to Foxboro!
