Devin McCourty: In the first round of 2010 NFL Draft, New England Patriots have selected Rutgers cornerback Devin McCourty.
On Thursday Night, McCourty was with 27th pick. In 2007, Patriots took Brandon Meriweather in the first round. In 2008, Patriots took Terrence Wheatley in the second round. In 2009, they took Pat Chung and Darius Butler in the second round.
Patriots have started their day with 22nd Pick. But, due to the trades of Denver and Dallas they ended up with 27th.
Since 1966, with their worst defensive season and 15th over all pick in NFL draft, New York Giants have taken South Florida defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
With their huge needs, New York Giants with 8-8 came into the draft at middle linebacker. It’s known fact that Pierre-Paul is one of the best athletes in the draft, who faced too many challenges in last season.
After playing his first two years at junior colleges, Pierre-Paul had 6.5 sacks in the last season. Last season, Giants lost 8 of their final 11 games and playoffs were missed for the first time since 2004.
