The problem with risk around here is for some reason, people only want it to work out in the Pats favor. That's the thing about risk, it's risk! When it works out the Pats are amazing, when it blows up the Pats shouldn't have done it. You can't have it both ways.
The Pats took a risk and assessed Easley's talent as being worth the risk. Sadly, they appear to have screwed the pooch regarding his make up. That's where the problem lies because his talent isn't in question, his professionalism and attitude is.
I wonder how close they got to trading Easley or if they simply had enough and gave him the old just get the hell out of here.
The taking of Easley in round one wasn't just your run of the mill 'risk', which is why he was available in the first place, and is why there was such a split on the choice even on a hugely homer slanted board like this one.
