Rutgers CB Devin McCourty... Wait. Who? No seriously, who? I don't claim to be a draft expert, cause I'm not, but going into this draft I was under the impression that the Patriots strongest needs were DL and ILB. Some people even went as far as saying that we were in big need of a WR. I didn't agree with this last one but a corner back? In the first round? Now I'm not claiming to be good at math either, cause I'm not, but I think that makes 6 CBs on the roster now... Ok calm down Weezy... Relax... Breathe... Ok I'm back. Sorry about that. I was starting to act like a Jets fan there for a second. As loyal Pats fans we have made a commitment to trust the hooded one in the most doubtful of times and I think this is one of those times. In Bill We Trust remember? I dont understand the pick and I know I'm not alone on this one but after doing a little research people think this kid is pretty good. Bill Belichick obviously did. Word on the street is that Devin McCourty is a Special Teams ace and a shutdown corner. Maybe having Holmes and Marshall in the division now had something to do with the pick. Who knows? What I do know is that Belichick will do his job to get the most out of this draft as he always does. He did get us another 4th and the 3rd round pick that we were lacking by trading down after all. The Patriots have 3 second round picks today and I trust bill will address the needs that people are freaking out about. Relax people. Do as I did, count to ten, and have a little faith.
PS. Don't be surprised if Belichick uses one of those second round picks on a trade for a good veteran DL. Yeah yeah, its crazy I know. Just a feeling I'm getting though.
