Jermaine Cunningham, Florida, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

Just love how we already have a reaction thread and they haven't even announced it yet on ESPN2.

Ha, Wikipedia had this pick in before they entered the Steelers pick which was one before the Pats

Where will he play for us ?
The line or as an LB.

Patriots Twitter channel announced it by saying Kraft was on the phone with him

 

[!CrimsonTide!]

I'm glad we got a pass rusher finally.

Possible he could be the new Willie McGinest? Similar height and weight and role(OLB/DE) as he was...

With his size I would say OLB.

The word being used on him that I love is "consistent." That's what this team needed.

His highlight reel reminded me of Rosie Colvin...but hopefully he is our new Mcginest

This kid was arrested for assaulting an employee who told him he had to pay for a bag of potato chips.............true story.

Arrested but was not convicted.

I love high motor guys... I like this pick!

And now I like the Spikes pick!

 

[Fencer]

I assume he starts as a nickel DE, and hopefully evolves into a more-downs OLB over time.

If he can contribute in sub packages Year 1, that would be great.

Position need addressed indeed with this pick. Good move!

 

[The Dynasty]

Added the best OLB they felt was available, good pick

 

[Urgent]

Clearly a position of need addressed.

Surprising pick - not a highly regarded OLB candidate.
Down the list, behind guys like Ricky Sapp and Daniel Te'O and others, with more production, more speed, better health.

Bill likes the Florida program. We'll see how this works.

I agree. Not the "sexy" guy but the word for him, as I said earlier, is "consistency." Very good pick. Very good draft so far when you put it together as a whole.
