(Of course they do. That goes without saying. In fact, I’ll just be quiet.)" Yes. Still, one has to admire...seriously...no sarcasm intended...one has to admire how forthrightly all the draftniks step forward and not only put "grades" on these things but go so far as to tell us what THEY would have done without benefit of scouting, testing, measuring, and experience and without any obligation to actually sign a check for any of these kids. It's all very existential, isn't it? “This is a situation where I’m hoping the Pats brass knows much more than I. (Of course they do. That goes without saying. In fact, I’ll just be quiet.)”

Yes.

Glad to have you as part of the PD team. If one was to accept the premise that we have no idea how draftees will turn out (I do), then you have to like the positions that the Pats targeted. Another thing I like is that every one of the Pats draft class is wicked fast. 2008 Patriots defense - Younger. Faster. :D Great job Chris. Glad to have you as part of the PD team.

2008 Patriots defense – Younger. Faster. :D

Has anyone other than the teams and weirdos like Kiper actually scouted all those guy? No one know who's going to be successful. And taking a guy who might be better athlete over another who doesn't posses the smarts to play in Belichick's system is pointless. I don't know those guys - not even Mayo - but I know the Patriots know more about players than anyone handing out grades in the press. Chris,

I'm willing to bet he gets a lot of run as a pass rush specialist on third down this upcoming season. Crable played a fair amount on the line at Michigan, so it’s fair to call him an OLB/DE hybrid.
