Just read on ESPN that the PATS receive Corey Dillon from the Bengals for a second round pick.

This is GREAT news for the Patriots, for Corey Dillon owners, and for Rudi Johnson owners. ;D

Dillon ALSO got a his contract redone clearly indicating he is the featured back.

Wow this comes as new to me. Even though there were rumors awhile back I had doubts that Bellichick would go after a big name player of that caliber. What this means in terms of the draft is still debatable, but the likely scenario is we focus on MLB & OL in the 1st round.

Not fantasy related, but Richard Seymour's father allegedly, murdered his girlfriend & then took his own life.

For lack of a smooth lead in. On the Pats draft picks:

Vince Wilfork looks like a steal. Ted Washington's loss hurts a lot less now.

Ben Watson may not make an immediate impact, but he's got extraordinary abilities. Fauria has one year remaining on his contract & Graham has been inconsistent at best.

Day 2 pick PK Sam has an excellent chance, I believe to come in & make the roster. He's got size which is sorely lacking among our WRs.

Nice to see Colvin back on the field...I hope he returns to play this season.
