I was surprised at the O'Connell pick, mostly because I have always been enthusiastic about Cassell, but from what I've read this guy could become at least a solid back up.
You forgot to mention Matt Guitierez who the patriots signed as a rookie free agent last year.
Guitierez looked pretty good in limited action last season, but will probably be a long shot to make the roster this year as the pats wont carry 4 Qbs.
Its almost a shame Brady didnt get sidelined for a game during the Matt Cassell back up era, as the pats might have been able to showcase him for a possible trading chip. With this being his last year under contract I doubt the pats will reap any reward out of Cassell, and I doubt he will resign.
I can see Cassell signing with another team that does not have a solid quarterback and competing for the starting job.
I'm just glad we can enjoy worrying about who will be the backup quater back and not have any concerns about the starting QB job.
