Now before people get sand up their holes just READ this whole post. In the 6th round of the draft the Pats selected Concordia DE Zach Moore. I'm pretty sure nobody had ever heard nor seen him on this board and if you did you were probably watching some random game late night trying to go to sleep.
In the 7th round and the 249th overall pick a unanimous all american, first team SEC and co defensive player POTY Michael Sam was selected by the Rams.
Just wondering apart from the stinking obvious reason why on earth would you take a fly on Moore over Sam?
Now i completely understand if you don't pick Sam because from a technique and fit point of view he doesn't do on Defense what you think Moore could do but i highly, highly doubt that is the case when considering the school, conference played in and accolades that Sam has received.
So really the Pats on their big board at DE like 30 other teams considered Moore or another DE to be better than Sam? Cannot simply be true. What makes it more intriguing is that what place in the whole of the USA could be a better place to go and JUST PLAY FOOTBALL than Foxborough, Mass?
The same place that stifled the most outrageous player off the field "Ochocinco" and turned him into a guy that barely gave an interview for one year straight. The same place that took in the most overtalked about NFL player in history, Tim Tebow and cut him with barely a noise made.
If there is any locker room, or coach that can get someone to just do football and football only it is the New England Patriots and Bill Bellichick. It is for this reason that i'm astounded a marginal player from Concordia could be considered over a fairly highly rated Mizzou player.
I've said since the beginning when this guy had that interview that i could care less what you do in your personal life outside of Gillette walls, if you can go sack that QB which the Pats are simply HOPELESS at doing when it really matters in January then you are welcome with open arms. How the Pats or any other team could feel otherwise is simply mind boggling or maybe i'm in a minority. Again if he was not a fit then i understand but it can't be because Bill admitted the draft this year was just picking best available and no way is Zach Moore better than Michael Sam.
