  1. Take a look at how Chung stops Pettigrew cold after a catch. Pretty impressive.

  1. wow. i'm officially a darius butler fan in 2009.
    all three were good i must say. i hope brace is as good in the NFL as he is there though i expect NFL offensive lines are not so easy.
    Mike: nice links.

  1. I liked the aggressiveness and strength of Chung. He will definitely fill Harrison's spot.

  1. This guy Vollmer is a monster. He was tossing those guys around like rag dolls.

    By the way...Did you see the grades Pioli got for his first pick? Mostly Ds and Cs. It will be interesting to see how the picks develop in both systems this year.

  1. why did the pats pass on duke robinson a guy 10 time better then richaard ohrnberger

  1. Vollmer is a friggin beast, smart and aggressive too. He might end up being the pick of this draft. Instant analysis: he'll start at right tackle this year and move to the left side when Light goes.

    Overall I love this draft so far.

  1. just got alot more excited about the volmer now that i have finally seen his video, I think pats may have a steal here. It might take a year or two but this dude looks like he will be a very good tackle in this league.
    The pats also haven't screwed OL picks higher than 4th round, I trust Dante S. to make this guy a star.

  1. Vollmer has real nice footwork. I like that kid. I like Butler's ability and desire to get into every play. I have to see more to be convinced of his ability against more complex schemes. She seems to always reacting I'd like to see more anticipation.
    Chung looks good to.

  1. chung AND butler? the bone crushing enforcer and the collegiate coverage guru. give them time to develop and we may have a dangerous secondary in the not so distant future.
