Default Rob Rang's Early Mock

There's no way the Pats would let the Vikings take Alphonso Smith at #22 and then take Vontae Davis at #23.

They won't take a corner like Davis period. IMO, his "football speed" is too slow for the Pats and NFL receivers.

Fixed.

The Pats are picking 23rd.

Rang has the Vikings taking Smith at 22 and the Pats taking Davis at 23. Krafty had the order right. He just mistyped the numbers.


Chad Reuter, on the other hand, has the Vikings taking Davis and the Pats taking Clay Matthews. In the 2nd round, he has the Pats taking Patrick Chung at 47 and Victor Harris at 58. And lastly, Trevor Canfield in the 3rd.

Chung's a good safety and a good pick. If they take a corner in the first it could very well be Francies when it's all said and done. He should rise but I'd definitely take Smith over Davis right now.

Massachusetts has a decade old law that prohibits any NFL team based in Mass. from taking a player with the last name of Chung in the NFL draft. Weird law, I know, but it was instituted for good reason.

I believe that only applies to the first round. Someone could check on this.

Link please?

I have a fair amount of respect for Rob Rang - he seems to be one of the better draft evaluators out there - but I don't see Vontae Davis being on the Pats' board. Alphonso Smith may be short, but I'll wager BB would take lack of height over lack of effort and consistency any day.
