We've done this over several seasons.
Take some objective list of player rankings, go to the Pats positions, and pick from players available there.

The CBS rankings are good, and have a quick reference to 700 players:

My picks:

27: SS Mark Barron, Alabama - big hitter for the secondary
31: DE/OLB Andre Branch, Clemson - 10.5 sacks, 6-4 260, quick
48: WR Chris Givens, Wake Forest - 4.4 speed, #2 YAC in nation, 1330 yards
62: CB Dwight Bentley, LA Lafayette - quick, physical corner
95: DE/OLB Jake Bequette, Arkansas - 10 sacks
128: DT/DE Derek Wolfe, Cincinnati - 6-5 295, 9.5 sacks

Obvious focus on improving the pass rush and secondary with DL that have potential to play 4-3 or 3-4.

In no particular order I'm layin a few names out I really think will possibly b pats... Fletcher cox, nick perry, stephon Gilmore , jamell Fleming,

Gator Mike

27. Mark Barron, S, Alabama - Too much working in Barron's favor here - still a position of need for the Pats, Barron's familiarity working with a Belichick-style defense, his obvious talents, etc.

TRADE: Patriots trade #31 to the Houston Texans for #58 and a 2013 1st round pick. Call it a hunch... I just think the Texans are going to be looking for an extra 1st round pick this year.

TRADE: Patriots trade #48 to Miami for #72 and #80.

58. Bruce Irvin, OLB, West Virginia - Could be a terror as a situational pass rusher from the linebacker position.

62. Billy Winn, DL, Boise State - Productive, fits the mold for a 3-4 DE, and fills a need.

72. Chris Polk, RB, Washington - Strong, between the tackles runner who can eat up some of the carries we lost with BJGE.

80. Brandon Washington, G, Miami - Needs some time to develop, but I'm looking at a time down the road when Brian Waters isn't around.

94. Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia - Had a down senior year, but too talented to leave him out there any longer.

128. Devon Wylie, WR, Fresno State - Yes, we have a million WRs on the roster. But does anyone think guys like Gonzalez or Branch or Ochocinco or Stallworth will stick? I don't. I think Wylie - sort of a Wes Welker Starter Kit - is a great value here.

27. Kendall Reyes
31. Trade with WAS for #39, 5th rounder, and their 2013 first.
39. Shea McClellin
48. Zebrie Sanders
62. Brian Quick/Mohammad Sanu/Greg Little - Let BB sort them out in interviews and medical history.
80-something on a trade up with 93 and the previously acquired 5th rounder Markelle Martin
~128. Dequan Menzie.

If there was a way of getting Reyes, Barron and Hightower in the same mock draft I'd do it. I view them all as potential future starters.

27 Mark Barron - I wanted to go Reyes here, but Barron is the last safely in this class I view as a long term upgrade as general and enforcer.

31 Dont'a Hightower - Hoping he has a future outside.

48 Jared Crick - Usual 2nd round injury value pick.

64 Chris Polk - I've liked this guy for a while. Punishing inside runner that can stay on in the passing game as a receiver and blocker. Good redzone TD threat in the absence of BJGE.

93 Chase Minnifield - Again I guy I've had my eye on that is sliding down. Can also kick return.

128 - DeQuan Menzie. Versatile and physical.
