Default Five picks, in whatever order

The order always depends on comparative value. I suspect that we would all be reasonably fine if we used our first five picks for

DEFENSIVE END

OUTSIDE LINEBACKER

RUNNING BACK

WIDE RECEIVER

TIGHT END

And we would be fine if we sign a wide receiver instead, and then subsituted an inside linebacker.

I would argue for placing priority on RB. We really need to take the pressure off Brady. These days other teams are just zeroing on Brady. Their D sets don't even respect our running game, and rightfully so.

This team's biggest needs are at DE, multiple LB positions and/or roles, WR and TE. There's also more need for an OG than an RB. Drafting a running back high in this draft would be a poor use of available resources.

It's hard to chose because we don't know how the cards will fall. But, I'll take a crack at it.

1. OLB or just a pass rusher
2. WR
3. RB
4. ILB
5. OT/G

I put more blame on the offensive playcalling. I think the Pats were way to predictable last season. I think we could use a fresh face at RB, but I dont see a big difference with whats out there right now. FA is slim, and is there a huge difference with a 1st rounder (Spiller or Mathews) and a mid rounder (Tate)?

DE

OLB

G/C

WR (even if we sign someone, I wouldn't mind seeing someone who can develop down the road)

Toss up between ILB and TE

Obviously the way the draft goes would change this but if it all fell and we could have our choice of need at any pick I would want

1st RD a RB to take pressure off Brady and the WRs and to kill clock in the 4th so protecting the lead in the fourth doesn't fall only on the D. I have my heart set on Ryan Matthews.

1st 2nd RDer a OLB we need an OLB who can produce a pass rush

2nd 2nd RDer a 5-technique D-linemen

3rd 2nd RDer a OLB We need an OLB who can produce a pass rush. we need this so bad I say try twice there are 2 starting OLBs and in our best days we had 3 or 4 guys who could play well at OLB.

1st 4th RDer WR or TE - something that can be a pass catching option. I don't think the need here is for some outrages talent like many thought we needed Boldin but we do need something because we have a lot of question marks at the position between Welkers injury and Tate's developement and not having a back up to Crumpler.

I think we should draft another pass rushing OLB instead of a WR.

I'm sorely lacking in knowledge of the college players this year, but the positions I am most interested in:

OLB
DE
TE

WR
LB of any sort.

I'm nowhere near as low on Guyton, or the receivers as most seem to be. RB I've very little interest in.

I agree, this would be good.

Trade #22 for SD #28 and #92. (They'll accept if Best or Spiller is there, and its equal based on value chart).

#28 Jared Odrick (will play the 3-4 DE, a big need).

#44 Ricky Sapp (OLB)

#47 Damien Williams (WR)

#53 Dennis Pitta (TE)

#92 Ben Tate (RB)
