Gravy

So...once again, just when The Evil Genius was being mocked as having a longer reach than Mr. Fantastic, information comes to the surface that will have all of the haters scratching their heads and closing their mouths...there were only two Players available in the draft that would have fit his Big Nickle Back profile: Mark Barron and, yes, Tavon Wilson...

Which, of course, made Wilson a most valuable player to Belichick. Semantics aside, it wouldn't have mattered where Wilson was chosen. He knew he wasn't going to get Barron unless he gave up his entire draft to move up in the 1st round, so he used his 1st round picks on players that would compliment his scheme, and used a second rounder on the guy he really wanted...the rest was gravy, and very good, rich gravy indeed - Particularly considering that he picked up Alfonzo Dennard as a bonus. Here's another guy with some versatility and can play the run much like a strong Safety. In the end, this draft may rival any other that I've been witness to. Assuming that it all works out as planned, this was an absolutely genius draft - and Free Agency...
