Im going to give a few names on my watch list for some possible positions of need (IMO)in the future...

OLB/DE
1) Sergio Kindle OLB/DE Texas-A True LB with DE experience. Good Pass Rusher with Upside.(My Binky for 2010...no homo)
2) George Selvie DE/OLB South Florida-Most likely will be the number 1 pass rusher to come out next year. Not sure about his coverage skills if any.
3) Greg Hardy DE/OLB Mississippi-Good Pass Rusher but like Selvie im not sure if he can play in space.
4) Jerry Hughes DE/OLB TCU-Reminds me of Larry English, Undersized (6'2 248) but he is a pass rushing terror.
5) Sean Weatherspoon OLB/DE Mizzou-I am not sure he can play as a 3-4 outside linebacker but he is a very good all around talent.

ILB
1) Brandon Spikes ILB Florida-Leader of the UF defense, very good in coverage for an ILB and a big hitter and sheds blocks quickly, everything you want in an ILB.
2) Rolando McClain ILB Alabama- Much of the same that goes for Spikes goes for McClain.
3) Joe Pawelek ILB Baylor-A straight tackling machine

TE
1) Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma-One of the best Pass catching TE to come out in awhile. Perfect Red zone threat at 6-6 250lbs.

RB
1) Jonathan Dweyer RB GT-Every Down Back who can pound the football but he has the speed to take it to the house.
2) CJ Spiller RB Clemson-A top flight Home Run threat we lack in the backfield.
3) LeGarrette Blount RB Oregon-Every Down back that will wear teams out but long speed is questionable.
Many Many more to come from this crop, deepest in years IMO...

I dont get a chance to watch many Pac10 games so Id appreciate it if anybody who does can give us some prospects to look out for this year.

Jonathan Dwyer reminds me a bit of Fred Taylor - a 6'1" 230 lb. guy with unreal speed and agility for his size who can take it all the way. I have a feeling he'll be a better prospect than Moreno was.

I don't think Hughes really fits our style, but he's a nice player. Brandon Lang from Troy might be added to the OLB list.

A lot of 3-4 DE prospects - Gerald McCoy, Ndamukong Suh, Marvin Austin, Arthur Jones, Leonard Marsh, Vince Oghobasse, among others.

I know a lot of things can happen between now and next april but I wish we would have pushed our 1st this year into a 1st and third next year.
I am happy we have three seconds next year tho 2010's draft is soooo much deeper than this years draft IMO

Here's Todd McShay's 2010 mock from ESPNinsider (seniors only):

QBs Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy are high in Todd McShay's early 2010 mock draft - ESPN

9 of his top 10 picks are from the Big 12! 4 from Oklahoma (Sam Bradford QB 1, Trent Williams OT 4, Jermaine Gresham TE 5 and Gerald McCoy DT 7), 3 from Texas (Colt McCoy QB 6, Adam Ulatowski OL 9, and Sergio Kindle DE/LB 10) with one each from Nebraska (Ndamukong Suh DT 2) and Oklahoma St. (Russell Okung OT 3). Only Taylor Mays at #7 cracks the top 10 from outside the Big 12.

Other notable picks:

11 - Ciron Black, OT, LSU
17 - Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
22 - Marshawn Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati
24 - Brandon Lang, DE/OLB, Troy
26 - Eric Norwood, DE/LB, South Carolina
29 - Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College
30 - Terrance Cody, DT, Alabama
31 - Greg Hardy, DE/LB, Mississippi

At #32 he has the Patriots taking ILB Micah Johnson from Kentucky.

Even with no juniors in his drat he has Spikes, Lang, Norward, Herzlich, Cody and Hardy all within range of the Pats at 32.

I haven't looked deeply into the 2010 prospects yet because the rankings are going to complete change depending on what they do in 2009. And that alters again post-combine, pro day, allstar/bowl games, etc.

But right now I'm interested in Brandon Spikes or Greg Hardy as Pats prospects. The Pats also have the ammo to move up if they like one of those kids.

New 2010 mock from Walterfootball.com:

WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Mock Draft

As VCJpatriot notes, things will change, but as of right now, best case scenario:

1. Sergio Kindle, OLB 6'4" 255#
2a. Jonathan Dwyer, RB 6' 228# (possibly requiring a trade up)
2b. Adam Ulatowski, OT 6'8" 310#
2c. Leonard Marsh, DE, Florida 6'5" 305#

That would be awfully nice. Dwyer could be a young Fred Taylor to complement (or replace) LoMo. Kindle is one of the most complete 3-4 OLB candidates to come around in a while. Ulatowski has nice feet for a 6'8", is a former TE with positional versatility. And Marsh has terrific athleticism and he developing nicely.

Alternatives: Mark Herzlich LB, Brandon Spikes ILB, Rolando McClain ILB, Ndamukong Suh DE, Sam Young OT, Eric Norwood DE/ILB, Marshawn Gilyard WR, Brandon Lang DE/OLB, Arthur Jones DE, Vince Oghobasse DE

Here's a 2010 mock from Pete Schrager at Foxsports:

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL Draft - Let's get our 2010 mock draft on

He has the Pats taking Cal RB Jahvid Best at 32, with a nice comment: " After the Patriots get their revenge on the Giants from Super Bowl XLII and knock off New York in Miami, the Patriots enter the off-season with a look toward the future. They go with Best, the do-everything junior back out of Cal who may just steal the Heisman from Tebow, Bradford, and McCoy in '09." Beautiful scenario. He also Sergio Kindle going 24 - within trade-up range. None of my other current favorites for the Pats day 1 (RB Jonathan Dwyer, DE Leonard Marsh, OT Adam Ulatowski) are in his 1st round.
