Spikes, McCourty, Deaderick, Cunningham


nice draft!

This seems like a good place to mention Cunningham's outstanding block on McCourty's interception return in the 3rd quarter. It was probably worth 10 extra yards.

Actually, that is impossible since Bill Belichick knows nothing about drafting and the only good pick was Tom Brady.

McCourty is looking better every game.

If Deaderick had Brace's raw power, he would be the Seymour Jr. I am hoping Woicik works Deaderick hard in the offseason. He could be a solid DE for a long time for us.

I hope they don't all hit the rookie wall at the same time. Correction it will probably take Spikes a week or two longer to hit the rookie wall since he is the slowest LBer in football today.

Throw in other rookies getting time (though I don't remember seeing Sergio Brown yesterday ...) and then a bunch of second-year players who are playing (Brace, Pryor, Chung when he's healthy, maybe a little Butler) ... amazing. Really.

this year's draft looks awesome

and considering that next april we should have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds...let's be optimistic for the next one too

If Deadrick had Braces power I doubt he would of ever found his way to the Patriots.

If you told Belichick 3 years ago that he'd be starting 4 Rookies on defense here in 2010, he'd have given you that Belichick scowl and walked off..

I don't think Belichick has ever started 4 rookies on defense. As either an DC or HC..

Agreed. The Patriots are not 6-1 without key contributions from the rookies, especially McCourty and hernandez on the offensive side.

Recall all the naysayers who were pissed off with the McCourty pick, trashing Belichick for passing on Sergio Kindle and Jerry Hughes
