id love to get my hands on the black worshiper that wrote this gem about eric weddle.He outright lied about weddle's performance against calvin johnson, saying that the utes triple teamed him (thats a damm lie, weddle had him in one on one coverage all night). Anyway, the link is on draftdaddy, which they got from patriots.com
Eric Weddle, Utah (5-11, 203) - A lot of fans want to see New England draft Weddle and while I think he's a good player, he's not worthy of a first round selection. I would take the big four, Rouse and Gattis all before Weddle. He's a good, solid late-second round prospect in my opinion but too many draft sites are getting out of control and projecting Weddle to the Patriots in Round 1. No chance. As a matter of fact, one NFL team we know of has Weddle rated as a fifth round prospect (That team isn't the Patriots). There will be too many other quality players on the board at 24 and 28 for New England to consider Weddle at that point. However, if the Patriots trade down into the second round, Weddle would be a possibility. One final note about Weddle. I've seen some places suggest that he shutdown Calvin Johnson when Georgia Tech played Utah in the Emerald Bowl. That's completely untrue. Johnson was being triple-teamed by Utah throughout that entire game, so to say Weddle shut him down wouldn't be accurate.
