Kevin O'Connell picked by the Pats
He was just the 5th qb selected. Quite an honor for the pats to take him this high, in the 3rd round.
I always thought he was talented. Good arm, mobile, tall, heady. Would not surprise me to see him as a starter in the NFL down the line. http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...ing_up_wi.html |

His injuries and supporting cast made him a real sleeper.

I thought he would be a good pickup as well.
And one reason to not bemoan his ability to score vs. BYU last year....

Agreed. I think the Pats got a steal with him.
I also think the Dolphins got a steal with Chad Henne. You don't start for 4 years in the Big Ten and suck.

Remember that Henne beat out Matt Guiterrez who is now the 3rd quarterback in New England.

I proudly did not know who Henne was until the draft conversation started.
I couldn't name most QBs in the Big 10. |

Man, I don't get it. SDSU had their QB and 2 WR's taken in the draft!! You woulda thought their offense woulda been a little better.
