Who was the Top 2006 defensive pats rookie?

It is time to reload on defense.

Well that's an easy one: Willie Andrews, who I believe played several snaps against San Diego.

Point well taken . . .

I wouldn't be surprised if there's not a single offensive draft pick in the first 5 rounds.

Maybe a QB or some OL depth. Or a big back. But that's it. OL is signed seemingly forever, we have three TE, we know the WR story.

Good post MG.

Could not agree more, the only exception might be a highly touted OL if available at 24 or 28.. never seem to have enough of those guys.

And what's more: Of the first six veteran acquisitions this offseason, five were on offense (all at skill positions).

Admittedly, that's where the departures are concentrated too, and were concentrated last year as well.

No love for LeKevin?

I'm not sure there is much re-loading to do on defense. At least not where the draft is concerned.

Our DL is set and then some. Maybe a project to replace Hill as a backup way down the chart.

Our secondary is chalk full of young, still developing kids who have upside and playoff experience to boot. Players such as Samuel, Hobbs, Gay, Wilson, and Sanders. I'm sure the talent level could be improved upon in this grouping, as it is with any other grouping, but it's certainly not an old group who can't play worth a damn. In fact I'm completely happy with these 5 as our starting secondary. Health might be the only issue but no guarantee comes with a new guy staying healthy.

Yes our LB corps is aging but does anyone really believe BB wants to draft rookie LB's instead of signing them as vets? Maybe a flyer on some kid ..........

I think come draft day the Pats will be selecting the best player available regardless of the position he plays.
