National Football Post Mock has Pats taking ... - New England Patriots Forums

A USC LB.

But not Rey or Cushing; rather Clay Matthews!

I know a lot of posters here like Clay (I'm among them) as a 2nd round pick tops, but I guess he has had a great Senior week and really raised his stock.

Regardless of whether or not Pats pick him, it will be interesting to see if he actually does garner a first round pick.

FWIW, they have the other two LBs going back-to-back: Rey to SD and Cushing to NYJ.

On a trivial note, has any college ever produced 3 first round LBs?

I find it interesting how Mathews has flew up the draft charts since August. I can not remember the last time I saw a senior fly this far this fast. Pete Carroll magic strikes again.

I just saw another mock (PFW maybe?) that also had Matthews going in the first.
