1st Round, Tenth Overall: Patriots Select Jerod Mayo

The Patriots finally picked up a linebacker under 35! And of course, they caught a few people off guard (guilty) by grabbing a guy who was low on many draft boards. Mayo started his Tennessee career at outside linebacker, but moved to the middle in 2007, and while he made a lot of plays (140 tackles), the 230-pounder was a little small and easy to block for the middle. On the outside, he's quicker, more aggressive, and better off the blitz. The Patriots will keep him on the outside, specialize his role behind all of those 30-somethings for a year or two, then turn him into someone who has the rest of the league grumbling in two years.

Of course, Jets fans are already grumbling. They'll stop grumbling the moment a fiery pit opens up and swallows Bill Belichick.
