There is pretty good depth in the draft at LB; much of that depth is DE's that figure to be tweeners that can play OLB in the 3-4. Either way, the depth in this draft provides the Pats with choices in major areas of need. I think that Willis could be gone, the Dolphins would be a good fit. I would also look into trading up into a better pick in the second round and drafting Deossie. He wont be around late in the second, and we could certainly use a heady, physical player. . .If that were the case I draft the best available DB (Griffin, McCauley), or a WR/RB (Gonzalez, Bush, Irons) at 24, and take the best player on the board, regardless of position/need, available at 28.

If not Willis then Tim Shaw, ILB/OLB from Penn State, who also played defensive end his senior year. Tim Shaw is a team player who will sacrifice personal glory for the sake of the team.
The guy was slipping fast until the combine. Re instated himself in the first, but probably will be there at #24. With 28 we take Meriweather, in rd 2 we take Leonard and in the third we take Zak. That is my ideal draft.
So what! Straight line speed is overrated in the NFL! Just ask Anquan Boldin about 40 yard combine times.
Funny, what I saw outta the guy reminded me more of Pass than Evans, with his catching ability, his blocking skills and his running ability. He would also be deadly in the quick to the hole clock killin' thing....

Please don't even try to compare Brian Leonard to Corey Dillon. In my opinion, too many posters on the PatsFans message board are too obsessed over drafting offensive players in the first day of the 2007 NFL Draft.
"It would be a blessing, especially the way I grew up," Willis
said, when asked what he would do with his riches. "It would help
me take care of those who helped me along the way and make sure
that if I have children they won't have to go through what I went
through."
...
The real-life nightmare began when his mother left home,
abandoning her four children and forcing them to fend for
themselves with an uninterested father. Willis was 4 years old.
Two years later, Willis was cooking meals for his siblings, and
by age 10, Willis was working in Tennessee's cotton fields with his
grandmother, earning $110 per week. The money went to his dad so he
could pay the family's bills.
As a teenager, the situation worsened. When Willis learned his
father was abusing his sister, Ernicka, he turned him in to child
services and suddenly, Willis and his siblings needed to find a new
family, one that would give them the love and respect they
deserved.
...
"My real-life experience taught me how to compete through
adversity," he said. "No matter what happens, if someone knocks
you down, you have to find a way to get up and get the job done.
That's what you have to do."
