Now that we've had a couple of days to digest the Patriots draft and look over what the pundits are saying about it, I've got a few disjointed observations that I couldn't organize into any kind of coherent theme. So here they are. And for the record, I couldn't possibly care less that they're getting mostly C's and B-'s from everyone. Show me a guy who thinks Jerod Mayo was a reach at No. 10 and I'll show you a guy who wanted them to take Koren Robinson over Richard Seymour.

*The Pats pick I can't wait to watch is Michigan LB Shawn Crable. I can't take my eyes off the kid, because he's a physical freak. No kidding, he's got the longest arms I've ever seen in my life. They're like Kevin McHale's except on a 6' 5" body. He looks like Kevin Kline in "Dave" when he uses the big, industrial robot arms to say "I caught a fish that was... this... big." Check Crable out in mini camp, his elbows start at his knees. He's like a pterodactyl.

*The biggest superstar to emerge out of the 2008 rookie class will be Mini Muhammed, Darren McFadden's mother. She's not only an admitted "recovering" crack addict, she's never seen a live microphone she's not willing to say ill-advised things into. She spilled the beans that he was leaving school early, which was quickly denied, then the next day he announced he... was leaving school early. Mini openly lobbied for Run DMC to be drafted by Dallas and said she hated New York ...at a press conference in New York. While the Jets were holding the 6th pick. And she infamously was found driving a brand new Cadillac Escalade given to her by a Razorback booster, which almost cost her son the chance to play in the Cotton Bowl. Move over, Richard Williams; this chick is Crazy Sports Parent Hall of Fame material.

*There were doubts about McFadden's "character" which probably did two things:
1) Made some teams shy away
2) Guaranteed he'd be a Raider.
And on the way to the podium, McFadden committed three violations of the league's Personal Conduct Policy.
