Not sure what to think of this yet. I need to ruminate on it for awhile, if for no other reason than I need to come to grips with the fact that Tom Brady somehow isn't going to be around forever.
Everything I read about him predraft mentions happy feet against lower level competition.
Better options on the board

The kid throws bb's, I'll give him that. But I'd like to see more of him facing a rush from NFL-sized defensive fronts.

His value is and has been what he can do for other teams---it's the same as it was before the pick. Pats know that, every team in the league does too.
I'd rather this team not fade into the wilderness when Brady goes.
This pick seems to indicate that Belichick is thinking about life after Brady. If he's staying much longer after that, then that's good enough news on its own.
Garoppolo though. Huh. Will need to learn a lot more about him.

Garapollo fits what the Patriots do on offense much better than Mallett ever did. I like him a lot.

Mortensen says #Patriots were considering Manziel at 29. That’s one convenient way to dispel today’s scouting report story

I disagree PKB, and I agree with Wibi. Unless something is already in place for Mallett, this has to hurt his value. It's basic leverage. The Pats have shown their hand. They have to move Mallett now, otherwise, they literally just wasted a second round pick. And if you have to do something, and the other team knows you have to do it, why would they offer you the same in return as they would have when you didn't need to move him?
