Chat New England Podcast, Episode 27: It Doesn't Even Seem Real.

The Chat New England Podcast is back.

In today's show, Babcock makes his triumphant return and we dive head first into last weekend's draft. Should teams be allowed to release their picks before the draft starts? What role did the collective bargaining agreement in all of the moving and shaking that took place in round 1? Did the Browns make a long-term mistake trading up to get Trent Richardson? Did the Giants stray from their "best available" strategy to plug holes at running back and wideout? Why did the Patriots zig when we're so used to them zagging? How much do non-football related factors weigh into player evaluation?

We tackle all of these questions with a special eye on the Giants and Patriots, obviously.

Here is this week's humble offering.

We'll be back next week to discuss the Saints bounty situation. We'll also tackle the death of Junior Seau, and how the issue of head trauma might affect the future of the NFL.
