Versatile Michigan linebacker Josh Uche a 'typical pick' for Patriots

Former Michigan linebacker Josh Uche is on his way to the New England Patriots, but he already has a feel for the defense after playing the "Madden" NFL video game.

Uche was selected Friday night in the second round with the 60th overall pick. He is the second Wolverine to be picked in the three-day NFL Draft.

The Patriots traded with the Baltimore Ravens, moving up in the second round. They traded the 71st and 98th choices for picks No. 60 — used to take Uche — and No. 129. In last year's draft, New England drafted former Michigan defensive end Chase Winovich in the third round.
