Last year we drafted a bunch of DL in what looked to me to be a philosophy of 'bring in enough guys to find your starters and depth at one position rather than hope you got it right with 1 pick'

Looks like they are following that model again this year.


We have 2 guys who could should challenge everyone in the secondary and give us a very deep bench.

We drafted a guy who could become a starting QB...or at least a SLASH guy who runs, throws, returns.

I like the picks. Especially when you consider he run on WR's. 6 in the 1st round. That changed things.

And we got 2 starters out of it!! Let's hope that happens again.

Jets got Mark Sanchez. Lost a starting DE, backup Safety and backup QB. Not bad for the future but didn't get much better this year. They are pretty solid as is.

Bills got Aaron Maybin, Eric Wood, Jairus Byrd and Andy Levitre.

That's a BIG reach on a DE tweener, project. Competition at Center, a nickle corner and Levitre. Is this guy supposed to be a guard or tackle? No way he can start at tackle but should provide competition at G.

Patriots got Patrick Chung, Ron Brace, Darius Butler and Sebastion Vollmer.

That's a potential replacement for Harrison and starter at SS who will push Meriweather to FS.

A relief player for Wilford and let them let him go next year in FA.

A nickle this year and potential starter at CB in Butler and a project and reach in Vollmer.

We got...

A starting corner.

An added dimension to the wildcat, extra WR and 3rd QB who will be 2nd next year.

Competition at CB who could start when Will Allen leaves next year. A sub at FS who can fill in in case of injury and cover the big receivers like Moss and T.O.

Day one...

Bills...B-
Jets....C
Patriots...A
Dolphins...A

keep in mind if pat white can play qb,wr, and line up at running back... that's 3 positions.... he can be no.3 qb, no.3 or 4 wr, and no.3 rb that's a lot of versatility..... which means you can have more players for lb, ol, and dl

i would have preferred massaquoi or an lb here, but 2 cbs tells you that the FO is addressing the secondary problem

Think about what a great team like the Giants do, with BOTH OF THEIR PICKS FOLLOWING US. So basically they had to take their leftovers. We got Vonte and Pat White. (Ok, vonte is good). But they got who I thought we would get in this draft:

Hakeem Nicks
Clint Sintim.

Think about it. Our leftovers.
