Three QUALITY picks and then QUANTITY ruled the last day. Wish we took one of the developmental tackles. Always worth watching Patriots only drafted a few players- two of which were tackles Garcia and Davenport that will need some work. Making safety a higher priority would have been nice. That's what I'm saying.
