The Patriots draft...

Brandon Meriweather!!!

When Roger Goodell made the announcement, somebody across the room yelled out, "Suck on that." Indeed, Eagles. Indeed.

By all accounts, this was the guy the Birds wanted at No. 26, and now he's gone. At least they didn't trade up and not get him. Look out for Philly to trade down out of the first round now. If they do, then all the prognosticators were probably right.

The Panthers are now on the clock.
