I really wanted him in his draft year, we got Sedrick Ellis instead. I think he will be a good hire, former player who played for the team at a high level has worked with Demeco Ryans at Houston..
I agree. Another interesting factoid is the Patriots selected Mayo in 2008 with the Saints 1st round pick. We traded up (no surprise) with NE from 10th to 7th to get Ellis while Belichek got Mayo at 10th (defensive rookie of the year).
