OK, I can understand why Patriot haters who visit this site think this is a blow to the Patriots. But for those of you who are actually fans, why in the heck do you want J Taylor. He's proved he doesn't have the motivation to win. He's earning a paycheck and being close to home is most important.
I never wanted him, nor do I want Peppers ($ too high). I honestly think the Pats will be just fine with players they have. I think you will see A Thomas playing inside in a rotation with Bruschi in certain situations. Coach B will have tons of formations and players available at his disposal.
I think P Woods is going to be very good and Crable is a stud in the waiting. Keep in mind Bruschi was a 2nd day pick as well and I'd say he worked out pretty well. A position is not a weakness if there isn't a 1st round pick playing.
Go Pats!
I don't think it's about where the players are drafted. The glaring hole here is, we have one very diminished Bruschi followed by a bunch of untested and unreliable kids that have not yet proven they are up to the task, or in most cases have proven not up to task (in the case of TBC, Woods, Redd, and Alexander) so far.
Let's not pretend they are later round draftees that can play, ala James Harrison.
