I really like the Moeaki pick and I'm not surprised that he's doing well. His injuries weren't serious in college, just untimely. He may end up as the steal of the 2010 third round.

I think we're seeing a lot of the Charlie Weis influence. Since Weis left New England, the Pats valued the tight end but had no ****ing clue how to draft them. Moeaki, to me, seems like a Weis tight end. O'Connell seems like a McDaniels tight end. He can't block for shit and no way will that fly in Weis' offense. I think Moeaki will be a nice part of the offense if healthy, whereas I think O'Connell has a HUGE climb to get out of the doghouse.
