System fit, coaches recommendation and character, McCourty was a team captain like a lot of the Patriots picks this year and he's a returner too. McCourty & Wilson both look to be ranked differently by different boards too some have McCourty higher, others Wilson. That's just 1 pick too considering there's Brandon Spikes who last year would have gone in the top 10, Aaron Hernandez in the 4th.
I think it was 4 or 5 team captains selected this year + Gronkowski who's reaction to getting drafted shows the kind of player he is, this years draft was based on good character guys and leaders after last years passionless leaderless shambles.

Best: Carolina. Clausen will start and win ORoY. They picked excellent value at every single pick. Clausen was great value. Hardy a year ago was considered a first round pick. LaFell is a good reciever. Norwood a good LB. Pike is insurance.
Tampa Bay. McCoy is a beast. First three rounds couldn't have gone any better. All very good players. Mike Williams is a good prospect and Dekoda Watson in the 7th is beyond a steal.
49ers. Not a big Iuapati fan but the other three picks they made in the first four rounds (Davis, Mays and Bowman) all are first round talents.
Worst: Buffalo. Horrible, horrible draft. Aside from Danny Batten in the 6th they are all bad.
Denver. Cutler and Marshall into Thomas and Tebow says it all. I like Perrish Cox in the 6th but the rest of the draft was poor.
Jaguars. Austen Lane in the 5th= Good. Alualu at 10th when he could have been had about 2 rounds later is the single worst pick of the draft.
Dont think Clausen will start. Moore ended the season very well and will get his chance.
The Titans sign as a FA the son of Bruce Matthews. Oh that could be a monster signing if he has the talent of his Dad and others in the Matthews family.

All you people grading this years draft are 3 years too early.Nobody knows who has had a good or a bad draft until the rookies show what they can do on an NFL field against the best payers on the planet.
