two sides to every coin.....

as others have said, BB acquires lots of draft picks but the Patriots actually are one of the worst teams in terms of finding talent in the draft over the last decade.

a lot of Patriot fans seem to of put a lot of blame on this kid for some of there secondary issues last season.....

We are shopping. Vs. Arizona we will go with three.

The waiver wire has been good to the Panthers this year.

Hangartner

Jean Gilles

Butler

Selvie

TuTu

At the very least our depth is a ton better. However, I imagine Butler, Ajututu (sp) and Hangartner start very soon.

Aside from Hangartner, the rest are young with some upside. If we can get them going, it is like we had another draft.

That's a good way to look at this group as a whole. Being first on the waver wire definitely has benefits. It would be interesting to see year by year waver wire acquisitions for the teams that had first dibs. Might not be very pretty some times, but there might be some surprising names there.

The guy got cut because he wasn't going to start because of depth, and he wasn't stellar on special teams which is key for a back up so Belichick couldn't find a spot for him, it wasn't that he didn't have any promise. He's young, he's got potential, and it's a position of need. So, as a fan you should like the pickup as well. It helps the team.

He was a second round pick and given the chance to be a starter. They had no decent cornerbacks behind Mcourty and he still managed to get benched by a below average journeyman Cb. No Patriot fans seems to be upset.

He's young enough to turn things around, but I wouldn't bet on it.
