Well...I'm glad they landed on Shaq there...
This talk about loving Ragland at #19 is all fine and dandy now that they got him at #41 (plus two 4th rd picks...)...But if they had taken him at #19 I would have been very disappointed...
As I've said here before 100 times I like Ragland...He's a very good football player...But...When you have a player that College teams...I'll say it again...College teams went after and exploited in pass coverage...What exactly do you think Belichick is going to do?...I did not...and still do not believe he was a #19 overall pick...I do however like the pick in the 2nd...It's fine value there because he is going to play a lot...I'm going to be interested to see him at the Will...One thing I do not question with Ragland is his effort on the field...And he definitely is more than a thumper...I'm very interested in Mayock's comments about his weight issues...And I look at this in a positive light...If Ragland gets serious about being a Pro condition-wise it may quick him up a bit...Because when you watch his tape, instincts are not a problem...And when he sees it he looks to bring violent pain...
I just want to add how much I absolutely, positively HATE giving up Draft picks to trade up...Right or wrong, and admittedly I'm usually wrong, I hate it and it makes me angry...
Don't give him any ideas...
