yeah the Ravens didn't really outplay us, but their defense was killing Penny.
Pats are now starting to show their lack of drafting the last couple of years, and some bad decisions. Teddy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison retired and those 2 are great leaders. The other 2 guys that were the heart and soul of the Pats D were Mike Vrabel and Richard Seymour, both traded away.
Also as some people on NFL Draft Countdown pointed out, sometimes it's not a great idea to keep trading back for more picks. Aside from Jerod Mayo and Brandon Merriweather, they don't have a lot of young talent on either offense or defense.
