As someone who watched quite a bit of him, I never quite understood the fascination with Joe Haden. He was no doubt a solid CB at Florida. But people absolutely drooled over him and vaulted him as some sort of a future shutdown CB coming into the draft. Not sure what they watched, because Haden never flashed anything that made me think that he was going to be the next shutdown CB.
By the way, for those interested in possible Pats draft selections, a few of them are playing right now in the Auburn/Alabama game. Nick Fairley, Marcel Dareus, Mark Ingram, and Julio Jones. Alabama roared out to a 21-0 lead. The score is now 24-21 Alabama. Very hard hitting, physical game that's setting itself up for an entertaining fourth quarter.
