Sure every one and a while teams make good picks but there are tons of busts. What was belichick looking at when he evaluated Chad Jackson? Not to harp on the patriots but come on, bellichick is not a god at evaluating talent.I'll take Bill belichick's opinion on the character and play of Chung. Thanks for your insight though.....

I am not a pro but I find it very suspect to pick a player from the worst secondary in college football as a second round pick. (I am a ducks fan I would know) - anyway I am off now.... good luck with chung. Just remember he routinely got beat by tight ends in college! Good luck and goodbye.
You are entitled to your opinion. However, I do not think that you can call any member of the 2008 secondary "productive". Almost every team dominated us. We were the worst in the NCAA.

You are sooooo not a Duck fan. Beaver or Dawg for sure.
One more thought I just had about Chung as a fit for the Patriots. This is pretty speacialized and wouldn't be a primary reason for drafting the guy, but there is probably nobody you could have drafted who has more experience defending the spread option (or Wildcat, as NFL folks all seem to call it) than Patrick Chung. The kid practiced against one of the two best (Oregon and Florida) spread-option offenses in the country every single day. He knows every read and every play that offense runs, inside and out.
This offense is one place where college teams are more sophisticated than the NFL teams that run it and I can guarantee that the Dolphins "Wildcat" offense will not fool Chung one bit.
Ummmmm....BB's talent evaluation has had way more hits in late rounds.
every safetly gets beat...every corner does too.
as stated. Chung will not be a starter on the Pats unless he beats out James Sanders. He will have a few years to learn a system that turned a castoff released Rodney Harrison into a superbowl cjamp. Turned a corner from Syracuse into a pro bowl safety and got a pick for him that turned into Corey Dillon, who won a superbowl. Flipped a 2nd rounder from Illinois into a free safey ( Eugene Wilson), Coached up a 4th rounder to become last year's highest saught after free agent corner (Assante Sammuel)
Chad Jackson? who is he? Never even heard of him.....
Are you talking about Tebucky Jones? That guy was never a pro bowl safety.
I said Joe Montainia.....
That's a pompous attitude isn't it? "(I am a ducks fan I would know)".Come on, this is the NFL draft. Sure every one and a while teams make good picks but there are tons of busts.

Very impressive! Love the pick.I'm impressed that he was a 16 year old college student.....who made the starting lineup as a redshirt!
who else has done that?
Sadly, the boy died just 3 weeks after the story was published. Chung and Thurmond sound like excellent character guys. They may be good football players, but they are even better people.

Ducks' visit lessens pain of family's loss. - That's an excellent article about two amazing young men. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you take 2 minutes and do so.
