10 Reasons Why I Don't Want To Face The AFC East This Season...aka 2007 NFL Draft Retrospective Part III...

Wow, so did anyone else notice how well some(operative word) of the AFC East teams drafted? And by SOME, I mean the Pats and the Bills.

First things first, in case you hadn't heard yet, the Patriots showed their personnel expertise yet again today, making a deal (hasn't been finalized yet) to get Randy Moss from the Raiders!! Aside from Moss, not to mention their beautiful crop of free agency acquisitions, the Pats have also had a pretty good draft thus far - picking Brandon Merriweather, Safety from FSU, with the first of their 1st round picks, then trading the second of those picks to San Francisco for additional picks in the later rounds (adding to their 11 total picks!!). Looks like New England is well-poised to make another Super Bowl run...what a game it will be Sunday, December 9 in Foxboro.

Next, how about the Buffalo Bills? Maybe they didn't get Patrick Willis like they wanted (who didn't want Willis??), but Marshawn Lynch is actually probably just as good of a pick for them as Willis would have been (coincidentally he will be competing with the A-train to replace another Willis, that is MacGahee). Then, they got my boy Posluszny. I can't fault them for that one. But even better still, they get Trent Edwards, the QB out of Stanford! Edwards was ranked as being about the 6th best QB out of this year's crop, and has drawn some comparisons to Seattle's Matt Hasslebeck. Not too shabby for a 3rd round pick to come in and stand behind JP Losman (who I'm told the Bills absolutely love and think will really perform this year).

The Jets you ask? Well, after stealing our hearts by picking Darelle Revis, they went on to get David Harris, LB from Michigan -- a guy who was among the top ILB prospects.

Aside from Miami's perplexing selections (see post above), I think the AFC East made out the best this year...of course things are far from over with 4 rounds to go.

More to come later...
