Didn't see any other thread on this, but without focusing on particular players, list the first five positions the Patriots are likely to draft (or need to.) Here's mine:

1. OT/OG
2. DE/OLB
3. Safety
4. ILB
5. WR

And with the sixth pick, I'd look for a future Kevin Faulk replacement.

I think that being blessed with six picks in the first three rounds, it is time for us to pick up a stud OT with the first pick. We will have to replace either Light or Mankins (or both) in another year or two. The other positions can wait in this deep draft.

Jimke

1. Mlb
2. Ot
3. Olb
4. Og
5. Ss

ayjackson

1. the lines
2. WR
3. LB/S

Generally, I don't see any need so desperate as to trump talent of the player at any of these positions. ie If there isn't a lineman in BB's second tier of talent, you take the player that is, be it a cornerback, safety OLB or whatever (quarterback and kicker excepted).

LloydBraun

OT- with the 23? A replacement for Light in 2010. His cap value would help. Plus, we replace Kaczur this year.

OG- Mankins will be pricey; Neal is aging

ILB- Sintim is brought in to play next to Mayo.

DE- Moala is falling in some mocks.

OLB- Barwin or English to play behind Taylor. Also, we need to remember that Crable and Redd could also fit this role.

MetalBleachers

Agree about getting the most talented player, but position-wise, disagree about a WR before LB or OLB.

LB/OLB
DL
DB
WR/KR
OL

OL has the most potential to fluctuate, but there's some depth there. I also see some high potential at DB for rounds 2-3.

mgteich

DE
LB
S
OG
trade into 2010 or to move up earlier
OT

Feep50

#23 OLB
#34 OT
#47 S
#58 & #89 trade down for DE/OLB
#98 WR

So sayeth Feep!

WhiZa

#23 OLB
2nd round - S, OL, ILB (in best available order)
3rd round - probably another OL, FB

after that just best available player in any position

Best pass rusher available OLB/DE If an elite one isn't there I switch need to MLB with 23
MLB
Safety
Best available guard or center
DT
TE
Punter

This thread is too hard to predict because of how players rise and fall on draft today. I'm sure if Crabtree, or Everette Brown fall, all needs and positions are thrown out the window.
