Keith Rivers

Who got the one vote, then later, 2. Who the hell voted for Keith Rivers?

I won't argue Rivers won't be a good player down the road. In limited playing time, he had 37 tackles with an interception. But to compare a player that only played seven games versus someone who started 16 is illogical. Even if Rivers' number were projected to 16 games he's far behind Mayo's production. Sorry Rivers that you got your jaw broke by Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward, but that's football.

I said the pick would had been Keith Rivers if N.E. didn't trade out of the seventh pick.

They also saved a little money in the process by dropping three slots and upgraded a fifth round pick, turning it into a third round pick, their third pick in that round. They can get a dramatically better player to start day two.

n quickens the heart rate of the teams in love with Run DMc.

Maybe the same can be said about the Keith Rivers visit.

Rivers is the top rated linebacker in the draft and there isn't any question about the Patriots' need for the versatile athlete. Sideline-to-sideline speed, can play the run or the pass equally well, and smart enough to play either inside or outside.
