Brian Billick's Top 100 players heading in the NFL Draft Updated 4/13.

I'm obviously in the room with a professional who knows much, much more than I in evaluating players. Andrew Luck is number one and Billy Winn is number 100. The list is definitely worth a look as a touchstone what a true NFL front office guy is doing.

I'm glad to see the Oklahoma LB Ronnell Lewis (42) is rated higher than Boise State's Shea McClellin (47).

Bruce Irvin is way, way down. ¡Que lastima!

This is the best thing I've seen from a former coach to highlight the values of the players since Bill Parcells' board last year.

Here Billick discusses New England. Fox Sports Video | Billick: Patriots draft needs

He has us taking Nick Perry or Janoris Jenkins or WR Kendall Wright.

He makes a dig at us having trouble with the Ravens. And he makes a mistake if Coples goes around #11 like he's listed that we'd need to give up our firsts and seconds.

"24. Nick Perry, DE, USC: Scheme diverse and could play anywhere along the defensive front. His versatility reminds me of Adalius Thomas."

Do not want. Ray Lewis called Adalius Thomas like it was - "He's only good because he got to play with us."

I think Perry is a better pure pass rusher than Thomas. Toward the end of his time in NE, we found out that Thomas was much more of a blitzer than a pass rusher, a guy who could take what the OL gave him, but couldn't line up opposite a tackle and beat him one-on-one with any success.

What about Nick Perry is unattractive to you? Hopefully it wasn't a short blurb from Billick suggesting that his size and versatility is similar to Thomas.

Every game I watch of his is impressive. He does so many things right. I'm surprised Upshaw is ranked ahead of him. He's my top rusher in this class. He has a good variety of moves, and is powerful out of his set.

If Jenkins and Perry were to come our way I'd cry

Patriot Missile

Guy worries me a little bit. Don't like the rumors going around he doesn't want to be versatile.

Good read from a guy who broke down the film vs California very well. Martin also held him to 3 tackles over in a 3 OT game . So does this guy shrivel up against the big boys and beat up on sub par college tackles and guards? I don't know, he has got some good film on his side to support he is a good prospect. I'm sure BB will connect the dots in the interview, workout and film room.

I value the guys opinion who wrote this but even though that was the least productive game of his (which i had seen a few times), the constant pressure is always there. Now if I think about all the edge rushers in the league, none of them dominate in production all the time and thru can be game planned for. His overall video suggests he is a beast. However I'm open to differences in opinion

Perry is OK, but Jenkins & Wright in the first or any round is absolutely awful.
There'll be cleaner DBs avail. at the end of the 2nd & in the 3rd & 4th rounds.
And if we need to replace Welker next year, then we can do it next year, not this year.

There won't be any corners as talented as Jenkins either. Maybe they're cleaner. Maybe not.

I can guarantee Janoris Jenkins isn't the only one of the 250+ draftees who likes marijuana. He might be the highest profile guy who got caught, but I'm not willing to cross such a talented player off the board because of it.

As for Wright, he's no Welker replacement - he's a Branch replacement.

We might have bigger needs, but we could do a whole lot worse than adding Jenkins and Wright to this team in the 2nd round.

ZoisKing

Cleaner, but nowhere near as good. I'm not a true fan of Jenkins' personality, but most corners are a bit ****y anyways. This locker room is strong enough to handle Jenkins. He'll mind his manners and do what he's told.

In the meantime, we get a top cover corner who can afford us to get a FS out of our current roster.
