One pick, early in the second round, for Cassel AND Vrabel? Smells like a
salary dump to me; maybe there's a free agent linebacker out there the Pats
want to sign. Of course, that draft pick could turn out to be a player
who'll make Pats fans very happy, too; plenty of good ones come out of the
second round.
