IMO it is ILB.

With Samuel - ILB
Without Samuel - CB

I'm hoping a deal, short term or long term, gets done, so I'm voting ILB.

I went with Safety.

Having an agressive, talented Safety is what's allowed us to do well with less than top tier CBs. I feel like if we continue to have a Rodney in his prime type player we can go far.

No doubt the Pats D begins and ends with LB, but I think we're looking for depth and next years starters - we absolutely need quality at Safety NOW.

Brady to Brown

Today its ILB. S is a close 2nd.

I think that's what Sanders is becoming. Besides him we also have Harrison, Wilson, and Hawkins. While we need some new blood at this position, as things currently stand we can survive. Meanwhile at CB, if Samuel goes, we're left with Hobbs and who? Gay - injury prone and may sign elsewhere. Scott - old and gets burned quite a bit. Tory James - God, I hope we don't have to rely on Tory James.

I'd say inside linbacker is need 1a,and saftey 1b. like baseball we need strenth up the middle

God I hope you're right - but while I'm not down on Sanders, he's no Rodney IMO. I think he's an average S maybe leaning towards above averae - but having a top tier S makes the entire secondary run like clockwork.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

I chose ILB but I think S and corner are a strong need just as well. I strongly feel that the Pats can address ILB in round 2 if they decide to trade back into it. I feel that in round 1, the Pats need to concentrate on drafting some playmakers in the secondary. I don't think there is going to be "the guy" at LB in round 1 by the time the Pats pick. If the Pats are going to take the "best available player" then I just don't see them taking Beason or Pozluzny over guys like Nelson, Revis, Griffin, Houston, Staley or even Merriweather. In conclusion, whether or not Samuel re-signs with the team, the Pats should take a corner in round one if the value is there and take a safety which the value should be there. In round two, the Pats can try to package up some picks to get back into this round and possibly snag ILB David Harris.

You should have put "all". Our defense showed their age against the Colts last year (still proud of my boys though, they came one first down away from going to another SB against a more talented team). Safety- Rodney has been injured that last two years and is getting old. I'd like to see him and Reggie Nelson back there next year though. LB- AD was a huge upgrade, but Tedy has also aged and let's not forget, he had a stroke a couple of years ago too. Bring in the best rookie available and let Bruschi and Vrabel tutor them in the Patriot ways. CB- This does not need to be upgraded in Asante stays, but I have a gut feeling we'll trade him on draft day.
