Keep in mind this is the first offense, the first round picks are very important to any NFL team.

Goddell, although having done a good job to this point, is getting a little to close to tyrannical for me. He's a big fan of handing out harsh punishments the first time to try and set a precedent. I dont know if it will work.
I think something needed to be done, but that punishment was incredibly harsh... But Belichick gets the last laugh. The Patriots have the 49ers pick, which will be a better pick, and they can take all that money they would have spent on an unproven college player drafted 28-32 overall, and reinvest it in a free agent or resigning a key player. Plus, there are rumors that Jason Taylor is available for a 1st rounder... not bad to draft the 2006 defensive player of the year...
