Whats the saying about a blind squirrel?
My guess is Loomis stole the Pats draft-layers. I\'m sure a nasty investigation will follow. |

well, this kid is definitely a good pick... let\'s just hope he plays as well as he is thought to play.... i know all about his college career, but that doesn\'t amount to squadoush in the NFL... there were plenty of \"can\'t miss\" collegiates that missed in the NFL

I think if he develops as hoped, then Watson at WLB and Fincher at MLB is a better set-up than vise-versa (on paper that is). Now if the reports of his speed surprising everyone at the combine are true, and he truly plays faster than he times on top of that, he may be able to push for time at the SLB spot. It won\'t take long to see if he can hang with TE\'s and RB\'s since he\'ll be practicing against some pretty speedy ones. |

He looked quick in that highlight package that was recently put up, but I guess that\'s what happens when Toledo is on the field.
I couldn\'t find his shuttle time online, which is a little more relevant for an LB than 40 time. (Hopefully he won\'t be asked to make alot of plays 40 yards down field.) I agree with you Danno, I see him in the middle with watson on the weak side if he works out...we\'ll see. |

His biggest attributes are his work ethic and his intelligence - Both are very high -- which probably explains why the Pats liked him -- 2 big traits tehy always seem to look for. But hey -- anybody the Pats wanted I\'m happy we drafted

i agree, if the patriots were looking hard at him, he\'s got to be at least intelligent and hard working... the reason they are so good is because they do so much with so little, whereas the saints are the polar opposite... they do so little with so much... hopefully, i\'m wrong this year.... maybe being their swan song this year will take them all the way
