I think Belichick passing on the highest amount of DL ever taken in the first round (many of them TWICE) says a lot about his opinion at the supposed 'position of need' that so many people assumed. I have to admit that I did expect ONE of the 2 picks to have selected a DE. I also will admit that I did not see the HUGE glaring weakness at the position that most did, as I see some past high picks and guys developing, a decent free agent signing, and some returning injured players providing decent enough depth this year.
Hopefully the position will be addressed some time on day 2, with another player added later for camp fodder/depth/competition.
I am guessing the same exact thing goes for OLB. A day 2 pick (or 2), with another late rd player/UFDA added for fodder/depth/competition.
