This sucks. Depth takes a hit.
Injuries remain concern: When the Patriots made Easley their first-round pick (29th overall), the initial reaction was "surprised" because of his injury history. Easley tore both ACLs while at the University of Florida, and one of the main concerns that scouts expressed was that Easley was an undersized pass-rusher (6-foot-2, 288 pounds) coming off injuries who would now have bigger-bodied offensive linemen leaning on him -- not a great combination. Eight months later, the injuries remain a concern. Easley hurt his shoulder Oct. 5, and the official reason for his placement on IR is his knee.
