Patriots Take LB Jerod Mayo

Wow. This pick just floors me. This is mostly because I think they could have moved back by quite a bit and still snagged him. LB was a definite position of need, and so you can't fault them there, but what's important here is that Mayo was not really projected at a top 10 pick. He comes from Tennesee, and so has experience playing at a high level, and Pats do good scouting. But you have to know that this pick comes at the expense of another and you have to now question what the Pats are going to do to address issues in their secondary.
