I love Richard Seymour more than I love some family members. But let's face the facts.

There was no way, NO WAY the Pats were going to be able to keep both Seymour and Vince Wilfork. If you have to choose between the two you've got to consider that A. Richard Seymour has been hurt a lot over the past few years, B. an elite nose tackle like Vince Wilfork is a tough commodity to find. If the Albert Haynesworth situation proved anything you either draft one, or you pay a goddamn fortune for one in free agency. C. With the Pats using a lot of base 4-3 this season Seymour would have been better suited as a tackle, and they're relatively stacked at that position right now.

This still kind of sucks, but a first rounder from Oakland always runs the risk of being a top 10. I don't see them beating anyone in the AFC west. They just cut Jeff Garcia, and Jamarcus Russell is never going to develop. Which in turn means that Darius Heyward Bey is never going to develop, which in turn means they've wasted 2 top 10 draft picks in 3 years (McFadden won't be a bust). On draft day in 2011 when we draft the next Jerod Mayo we'll feel a lot better about it.
