Hmmmmmm.....
The Pats will do great with him for 1 year. And then this is what will happen: Moss is gonna want the $$$, he's gonna become a malcontent, and he'll get cut or traded to be a mal-content somehwhere else. It'll be compared to 2 situations. T.O. in Philly, where he was good for a season, and then started cryin. And when Cassell and Sprewell came to the Timberwolves in '03. Those 2 with Garnett went to the Western Conference finals (and big surprise, lost to Shaq), and then the next year they both wanted to get paid, and all they did was cried. The Wolves haven't been back to the playoffs since.

How many fourth round picks over the last 5 years are even in the NFL anymore? IF they only get one good year out of him, it is still a steal. If the gamble pays off and he helps them get a ring, it's a no brainer.

Ginn may turn out to be a nice player, but that was too high to draft him. You're right Pete, they should've traded down.

I took a look at Ginn's game stats. And I think less of him than before.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/112415/gamelog

Aside from the return vs Florida, he had two good games against Michigan and Texas and also had a punt return for TD vs Mich State.

Aside from the Florida KO return for TD, his two longest KO returns were 35 and 37 yards (vs N'Western and Minnesota).

Aside from the PR for TD, his two longest PRs were 22 yards (twice vs Northern Illinois).

I'm sure he's a pretty good player but he won't be returning kicks against the Gophers or Huskies any longer.

D Hester went late 2nd round.

Dante Hall 5th round.

Wes Welker was undrafted.

Ginn #9 overall?
