My top 3 players in this draft were :
Evander Hood-Round one Pittsburgh
Rey Maualuga-Round 2- Cincinatti
Alex Mack-Round 1- Cleveland
*Interesting that all 3 were taken by the black and blue division. These are all guys that will make names for themselves within 2-3 years. All will be starters for several years. Though I am not disappointed with our draft strategy, it does make me realize that however much we want to know, we do not run the draft. I keep thinking that had we drafted Maualuga to play ILB we would have solved a problem. Pat's of course did not know that Mckenzie would get hurt in minicamp. ILB could come back to bite us this year. Pats did grab 3 wide bodies to strengthen depth on front -Brace-Pryor-Richard-Brace probably the only one to make team. Pryor has some explosion-but will have to beat out Lekevin Smith to make roster. Richard has a shot at practice team-I think he will make it. Who is out thee that could actually help the Pat's at ILB position?
