There's really no possibility of that happening. I guess it would be better stated as if you could have one player slide to 17 who would you most like it to be. More likely than not though 4 or 5 will be there.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Since I like Wilkerson (DE) and Martez Wilson (OLB), I would pass on my first choice [Jordan (DE)] and take Mark Ingram (RB). I'd rather bring in competition at the RB position than draft Prince Amukmara to compete with Bodden and McCourty.

Quinn has red flags, question marks, is an underclassman etc. There is no doubt in my mind that BB will not move up for this kid. But If he should fall to us I think BB would take him because has no business not going in the top 10 much like wilfork in '04.

Plus I think if this happened we could still get our DE in Wilkerson at 33.

There are about 15 players I like at 17 that I think will improve the team. Personally Jordan and Clayborn are my favorites. If they are not taken my feelings aren't going to be hurt or anything. I like most of those guys on the poll too, so no big deal.

Problem is some people get so wrapped up in their binkies they close their minds to players abilities and how they may be used with this team. Look at the production of that player and sometimes it can show the players determination.

The Pats really don't have that much invested in the CB spot as people think. Bodden is $4 Mil for the next 3 years. McCourty is around $3.78 Mil this year but then drops to $555K, $700K and $3.94 Mil for 2012-14 so there is wiggle room for another CB. Also when comparing both of them to what other CB's made in 2009 (the only data I could find) 25 other CB's in the league made more $$ than they do now.

I enjoyed the two responses (so far) who responded:

"If the following players are there, who would you choose?" and selected "Other."

My board, with limited research so far:

Kerrigan - smart, athletic, led nation in TFL, effective pass rusher
Jordan - smart, high character, played 3-4 DE, productive
Quinn - incredibly athletic, could be a unique talent
Amukamara - highly talented corner, Pats would have three very good corners

Von Miller - may be small, but a threat off the ROLB spot, complement to Cunningham
Watt - rangey DE, may take another year

A Smith - raw, limited pass rush, rather have Houston or wait to 28
Ingram - too high for him
T Smith - college RT who projects to LT, raw

Other was awesome in the Senior Bowl.

Aldon Smith has weaknesses. Limited pass rush is not one of them.

It was reported he had an extensive interview with Pats scouts.
