Which LBs would you consider in round 1? - New England Patriots Forums

I've listed some of the top LBs according to drafttek.com (and this board).

I'm curious--which of these guys would make you happy if they end up in a Pats uniform?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Your thread title says one thing (who would you consider in round 1) and your poll another (who would make you happy). Connor Barwin would make me happy, but right now he's not a 1st round pick. Aaron Curry would make me VERY happy if we could get him, but not if we had to give away a king's ransom and break the salary structure of the team. I'm not a big Brian Cushing fan, but if we could get him in the 3rd round I'd be happy. So please clarify.

4 on the list I'd consider - Curry, Sintim, Barwin, Cushing. Curry will be gone long before we pick, though.

Only Sintim in round one. Curry is clearly out of reach.

Sorry 'bout that.

I guess I was probably aiming for some happy medium, and missed wide left and wide right (like Rian Lindell's kick. . . .

).

What I was aiming for was, "Who would you find acceptable/pleasing if the Pats took him in round 1?"

Well rats, kill the thread and start over.

I don't think he is a first rounder but Greg Hardy I would seriously consider with San Diego's pick. He seemed to show up in big games in the past. Recorded a sack and a 1/2 against Florida and 3 sacks vs Alabama the year before. The knock is that they say his motor isn't always running. Still, if we wanted to go another route like Safety or CB in round 1, I'd take a look at this guy as an option to LB in round 2.

Scott Norwood?

No, I'm talking about Lindell's kick that was going wide left until the wind knocked it wide right (assuming it ever actually reached the plane of the uprights

).

I'm pretty sure Hardy decided to stay at Ole Miss for his senior year.

I don't have enough post to post the link but it was reported on Jan 15th.
