Willis or Landry yes.

not Nelson

Nelson is a top 25 pick..hes not that far from our pick really. mock drafts have him going higher but analyst and draft guys like Kiper, Mayock have Nelson in 20-28

At first I wasn't going to include Nelson but most drafts have him going at around 15 and the Pats have already expressed interest in him.

I can only see them trading up for Willis (if he falls far enough). Im not sure they could/would pay what it would cost to get into Landry territory (not to mention the size of the contract he would be looking to get).

Nelson isn't worth wasting the extra pick on. The drop off between him, Griffin, and Meri-Thug is just not significant enough (IMO).

they express just as much interest in him as they did in Booker, Meriweather, Brown, Davis, and 20 other guys we worked out :\

Boy, I think they'd move up for Adams if he slid past 10.

Honestly, I can't see the Patriots trading up for ANY of the three players mentioned.

I don't believe that a SAFETY is worth 2 1st round picks AND another pick. And that is probably what it would take to get Landry unless he slides outside of the top 10. I don't see that happening though.

Landry would have to slide to 16 to even consider taking him, but, again, I don't believe he's worth 2 1st round picks.

Honestly, Landry is one of the players who I think has the potential to be a bust. Or, at the very least, only mediocre, in this league. He's been all over the 1st round draft boards. Even in October, most people were talking about him as a top 25 player, not a Top 10. Now, all of a sudden, he's a top 10 player? I don't buy it.

Adams is only one of two players who I think the Pats would contemplate moving up for. The other could be Adam Carriker, but I think that Carriker is less likely. I think that the Jets or Steelers are going to make a play for Carriker.

While Adams is intriguing I don't see Belichick trading two #1s (and maybe more would be needed) for a guy who would be changing positions. I think the biggest trade up we would see would be 4-6 spots but that's about it.

Actually, I dont think that both of our first rounders would be enough to get us down as far as we would need to go; in order to get Landry.

The reason is because he has bulked up from 205 - 225lbs of PURE Muscle, and did not lose any speed in the process (he actually got faster). The early knock on him, was that he needed to add more mass to his frame. I dont think anyone expected him to show up to the combine THAT NFL ready (Physically).

While I know combine performances dont really mean much in allot of instances; Landry's did. Just his Physical transformation was impressive enough to erase allot of the negetives... then he went through the drills and just blew the doors off.

This kid is the best Defensive player in the draft IMO. And it is not really close.

I know it means NOTHING in the grand scheme of things; but check this out...Tell me this isn't impressive! lol-
