Gallon to Pats

Submitted by bluesalt on

Pick 244.

 

I think Gallon to the Pats was the prediction I saw most on this board, so good job mgobloggers!  Can't wait for a Brady-to-Gallon TD.

After deleting all of the Gallon threads save for this one, I will say that he should be an exciting and interesting addition to that offense, at least in my opinion. Again, very nice to see Wolverines getting this sort of recognition and a shot at a career at the pro level. It is subjective, of course, but I had a feeling someone would take Gallon - he could be producitive in a lot of schemes and on several teams.

get drafted so he could pick his spot. I think this would be one of the best places for him to be. Congrats to Jermey and may it be a long and prosperous career.

Brady is going to make Gallon a solid NFL player, no question.

He'll get a shot to contribute in the return game as well.

I'm really looking forward to see this develop, remember, the Pats now run that no-huddle offense...Gallon obviously has experience in Rich Rod's version of that.

Really excited for Gallon.

Epic for Gallon. He's gonna look a lot better with Brady throwing to him in the Pats' offense than many other receivers thought to be better.
Hint: draft him late or grab him right away off waivers for fantasy.

Congrats Gallon. I remember reading about him in a Michigan preview magazine in 2009 in the "recruits to watch for in the future" section. 

Indeed.

Bunch sets perfect for a smaller receiver who is a good route runner; hard to get jammed off the snap.

Good opportunity for Gallon!

Awesome news. As a Pats fan, I don't believe there was a better place for him to go. Should have a really good chance to make the roster and compete for the 3rd WR spot from day 1.

Now that Lonnie Ballentine (surely a Capricorn like Billy Ray) has finished the 7th round, we can look at the '09 class next to its predecessors.

There were five players drafted from the class. This is the most since the '04 class. Notice that the numbers for '03, '07, and '08 are inflated by guys who transferred elsewhere and prospered enough to get a draft-day phone call. (Trivia: '03 could include a guy, Clayton Richard, who made the pros in another sport.)

'03 [6]: Burgess, Crable, Hall, Long, [Mundy], Woodley
'04 [5]: Arrington, Branch, Hart, Henne, Trent
'05 [3]: Manningham, Mesko, Taylor
'06 [4]: Brown, Graham, Mouton, Schilling
'07 [4]: (Clemons), Hemingway, (Mallet), Molk
'08 [2]: (Cox), Martin
'09 [5]: Campbell, Gallon, Lewan, Robinson, Schofield
