Players Picked At Number Seven

First selection of the day...Jim Donaldson, Providence Journal...selects the "blond" brownies over the chocolate brownies on the media snacks table in the Gillette Stadium press box...
"It wasn't a pick based on need," he said. "It was the best available snack."

On a more serious note, the draft has begun and the Dolphins' selection of OT Chris Long has officially been announced. Miami now has a guy who can protect the quarterback. Unfortunately, the Dolphins don't have a quarterback worth protecting.

The Patriots, barring a trade, will be drafting at No. 7 overall. That's the spot they nabbed WR Terry Glenn in 1996. Since then, the seventh pick in the draft has yielded Ike Hilliard, WR, Giants, 1997; Kyle Turley, OT, Saints, 1998; Champ Bailey, CB, Washington, 1999; Thomas Jones, RB, Cardinals, 2000; Andre Carter, DE, 49ers, 2001; Bryant McKinnie, OT, Vikings, 2002; Byron Leftwich, QB, Jaguars, 2003; Roy WIlliams, WR, Lions, 2004; Troy WIlliamson, WR, Vikings, 2005; Michael Huff, DB, Raiders, 2006; Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings, 2007.
