this is assuming a few things: 1. most of the studs are off the board so we trade down (C.Long, J.Long, DMac ect) which seems likely, 2. We sign Ty Law which seems likely.
Trade down options: Chicago ~ if Ryan falls to us they may want to trade up. Carolina really likes Clady also so that is a possibility. Anyways it looks like there probably gunna be a good chance to trade down with someone, so im just gunna go with the chicago/carolina scenario. I think i finally figured it out.

Would love to do something like that. If Groves not there at 44. C.Avril seems to fit the bill. Also, if we take an inside lb at 62. I'd rather have another cb in the 3rd round than another ilb. Would rather have an ol or te too than wr. We are loaded at that position.

Dexter Jackson would give the Pats a kick return option other than Hobbs or Maroney and a punt return option other than Welker. Jackson also would be a good slot receiver replacement/compliment to Welker.
I'd rather have Jackson as the #5 than Sam Aiken or CJ Jones.
CB and ILB are both issues. Improving OLB (via a better pass rush), helps to improve the CB position as well. The ILB position is in greater need of help, IMHO.

Wouldn't a rookie wr be our 6th guy? Moss,Welker,Gaffney,Washington and CJ. He might be able to return kicks. But, a good OL will probably see the field if someone is injured. Maybe, even right away if S.Neal isn't ready to go.
Don't agree about ILB over CB. We need a starting cb and a nickel back. The ILB opposite Bruschi won't be on the field any more than our nickel back. If we draft one rookie ilb early. Would be shocked if we take another one right after that. Given our past history. I'd like to draft an ilb early. Just not two of them. Very likely rookie ilb drafted not starting. We have Vrabel,Thomas and Bruschi. I think we will sign a vet to play inside opposite Bruschi.

I think the "IF" Ryan falls to us at 7 proposal is completely gone, now that the Falcons have all but guaranteed that Ryan is their guy after cutting ties with Harrington. We know it's not going to be Chris Redman. The trade down with Carolina, looks much more likely if they covet Clady that much. DMac won't be there, but I can see someone drooling over a Dorsey who might be there, Detroit comes to mind picking at #15 after losing Rogers.

Why all the love for DRC? Have you seen the competition he faced last year? A decent senior bowl and nice striaght line speed doesn't make a great Pats CB.
Decent speed, decent tackling and great quick twitch is what BB covets at CB. Remember we are a disguised zone defense for 90% of the time.
