New England Patriots
Bill Belichick drafted a running back for the first time since he was coaching the Browns and took "Touchdown'' Tommy Vardell. He shook off that disaster (Borges almost made it to sentence #2 before taking a shot at BB but just couldn’t do it) and got the draft's No. 2 rated runner in Minnesota's Laurence Maroney, who rushed for over 1,000 yards three straight seasons. He's a solid receiver and has better speed than incumbent Corey Dillon. They had no young back ready to step in for the aging Dillon, which makes it a key selection.
They picked Florida's Chad Jackson in round 2, which should boost their receiving corps and save them money by not spending it on more expensive free agent receivers. Don't ask me why they drafted another tight end in Texas' David Thomas. They already have two former No. 1 picks there. Maybe he can long snap?
