Rolling The Dice In The First

The Pats rolled the dice with the selection of DL Dominique Easley in the first round of the draft. He was considered one of the best defensive line prospects until he had ACL surgery on both knees.

He had a very productive career at Florida State, but will he be able to stay on the field? Coach Belichick felt that it was worth a chance. They took one with Sebastian Vollmer a few years ago because of his back issues. Things worked out with him, although he missed a few games because of it.

I have a feeling that Easley will be a very productive player or a complete bust.
