Hearty yeehaws out to Jerod Mayo, Brad Cottam, and Erik Ainge, all of whom were drafted into the money league this weekend. Mayo went in the 1st round as the 10th overall pick to the New England Patriots, Brad Cottam went in the 3rd round as the 76th overall pick to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the New York Jets took Ainge in the 5th with the 162nd pick.
Fan reaction:
- MAYO: Pats Pulpit: The New England Patriots welcome ILB Jerod Mayo (overwhelmingly positive); YouTube (overwhelmingly positive)
- COTTAM: Arrowhead Pride: Draft Day Open Thread #2, Draft Day Comments (generally not good until after the analysts convinced them otherwise); YouTube (positive)
- AINGE: YouTube and YouTube (mixed, but generally positive)
