Chad Brown a Patriot

This signing reminds me of something many draft "experts" seem to ignore. Every mock draft concentrates heavily on teams' needs, but smart teams draft more for the best player available rather than for just what they need. There are other ways to fill needs, and how a team does with major and minor free agent signings can be just as important as the draft.

This is why I'm not being tough on Detroit for taking Mike Williams. They believe they're getting a special player, so it's worth the pick. There's other ways to fill their more pressing needs besides the draft.
