Default Pick Your Patriots First Rounder

So I've been running through a full first round mock and I've got to the Patriots pick. Now I know who I'd put there, but I thought I'd throw this open to us all to get a feel for what we all think should be the first round pick.

There are some debatable choices in this mock so feel free to debate them and of course a trade down is always a possibility but I would like a feel for who you'd pick from the choices available.

Firstly the mock:

1. Chiefs Luke Joeckel

2. Jaguars Sharrif Floyd

3. Raiders Geno Smith

4. Eagles Star Lotulelei

5. Lions Bjoern Werner

6. Browns Barkevious Mingo

7. Cardinals Eric Fisher

8. Bills Ryan Nassib

9. Jets Cordarelle Patterson

10. Titans Ezekiel Ansah

11. Chargers Lane Johnson

12. Dolphins Dee Milliner

13. Bucs Chance Warmack

14. Panthers Jesse Williams

15. Saints Damontre Moore

16. Rams Kenny Vaccaro

17. Steelers Keenan Allen

18. Cowboys Sheldon Richardson

19. Giants Xavier Rhodes

20. Bears DJ Fluker

21. Bengals Alec Ogletree

22. Rams Menelik Watson

23. Vikings Deandre Hopkins

24. Colts Jarvis Jones

25. Seahawks Datone Jones

26. Packers Johnathan Hankins

27. Texans John Jenkins

28. Broncos Manti Te'o

29. Patriots ???????????????

Prospects avaialble are:

Jon Cooper
Desmond Trufant
Matt Barkley
Alex Okafor
Zach Ertz
Dion Jordan
Mike Glennon
Sam Montgomery
Johnthan Banks
Kevin Minter
Tavon austin
Quinton Patton

etc

Personally, I'd be running to the podium with Jon Cooper's name on my card. What about you?

That's a lot higher than think any of these guys will go.

Cooper is probably the BPA at that point I just hate going guard but at that point there isn't a DT, S or CB I like enough to use the first on so I'd probably trade down or take Cooper. Okafor is an interesting prospect for a 4-3 but I still have hope they flip back to a 3-4. I like Jones, Hankins and Jenkins so maybe a small trade up.

There is some logic to the picks:

1. Sharrif Floyd. Daniel Jeremiah is telling everyone who'll listen that he is going "high". Scott Pioli tells us also that Floyd is rated very highly by teams. I don't think that's a controversial point any longer. The Jags have switched to the Seahawks front of three big linemen and a leo rusher. The drawback to that form of defense is that it only allows for one rusher in base packages. Floyd gives them someone who can push the pocket and get penetration inside.

2. Patterson - He's 6'3" and will be one of the fastest prospects at the combine. I'd be amazed if he falls out of the Top 10. He's got #1 WR upside.

3. Menelik Watson - This guy is this years Chandler Jones. He's going to keep climbing and climbing I believe. Last year Mayock was talking about Chandler Jones being "the best defensive player in the draft in three years". Expect similar comments about Menelik Watson being the best OT from this draft in time.

4. Hopkins. Best WR in this draft beyond Keenan Allen and it's a big need for the Vikes.

Anyway, that's why they were picked where they were.

Given our lack of picks and number of players I like in that 2nd round range I would be looking to trade back into the late 30s or 40s and pick up some more mid round picks. That would allow us to be flexible in targeting players. In that scenario i would target WR, CB, DT (assuming these aren't addressed in free agency).

If I'm forced to pick I go for Dion Jordan - although not an area I've identified, I think he can be a potential game changer of defence.

Wouldn't be unhappy to see Cooper though.

I think I like Banks more than most (despite Johnthan being an effed up name), and whether the Pats sign a free agent CB or not, there's nothing wrong with adding a 6'1" CB who can cover.

I'm all about Cooper. Protect your investment and run the ball. Solder and Cooper are a step not only into Brady's tenure. But also Mallett or whoever else man's the helm down the road. One of the safest picks in the draft imo. Nothing Jane about this guy. Run blocks like Tarzan.

I don't doubt he cracks the top 15 but 2 opened my eyes.

I like Allen better and while Patterson is an athletic specimen his routes aren't great. He may be a good choice for the Jets to just chuck it up and go get it.

I'll have to watch him a little closer and take your word on it for now.

Actually I had Hopkins higher than I thought when I checked my notes going high second so 23 isn't that far off. The supply of Youtube videos on the prospects grows and grows every year.

My first choice is Cooper but it would depend on what they do in FA regarding CB given that there are 2 pretty good prospects on the board(Banks and Trufant).
