Now that you've insulted me and had me insinuate that BB is a racist...
My point was not intended to be serious, it was merely to point out that a lot of mocks have us a taking a white guy that plays a position traditionally held by black players.
However, I think its possible that draftniks are taking the idea that the patriots value intelligence and work ethic and translating that to "they like white players." It is the sports media that I'm calling (subconsciously) racist, not BB. If that's not the explanation for having us take the likes of Brian Leonard in the first round, I don't know what is.
That did sound like what you were insinuating. It sounds now like you're calling the media racist instead, which may or may not be true depending on the guy who wrote up the mock. I'd be careful about making broad statements insinuating racism though. There have been lots of accusations/insinuations of racism towards boston area sports franchises. Some unfounded and some founded, but it's a pretty sensitive topic nonetheless.
