Cushing has looked terrific, and I'll cheerfully admit I was the last to predict it. But as for wishing we had grabbed him...Cushing was taken #15 overall, so it would have taken picks #23 + 58. Here's what the Pats got with those picks instead:
Darius Butler + Sebastian Vollmer + Brandon Tate + Julian Edelman + JAX 2nd-round pick in 2010
So I'm ok as is.
Would he have been a fit for us? In the 3-4, not a chance, although he likely would have got some playing time thanks to us playing more 4-3 this year. He wouldn't have had anything like the success in our D that he has in Houston though.
He would have fit in fine at ILB with ability to play some OLB especially in 3-4 sets. The 09 draft has worked out pretty damn well so far, no complaints from me.
