if we trade down i wouldnt be surprised if they targeted kawann short in the mid 2nd

Rang and Brugler have a new mock up. Post combine. Rang has us taking Robert Woods and Brugler has us taking Trufant. I like the Trufant pick. Would prob do that even if we keep Talib. Not sure Woods is a great pick at 29. Rang has Trufant going 24 to Indy. With his board, I'd probably take Kawann Short if I can't trade down. Maybe, Markus Wheaton.

I like to put the link in because it shows there aren't a lot of great choices at 29.

I'm not a fan of Woods either but would be happy with Trufant. Bill seems to like legacy players.

With Rangs board I'd trade down. At receiver you still have Hopkins, Wheaton and Patton on the board. At CB you still have Banks, Poyer and Slay. At other positions you still have Elam (s), Fluker (T, G), Williams and Jenkins (DT) and others. Really the difference in talent here is minimal at best.

Trade down and then trade up at 59 and get two picks in the 40's and take say Poyer and Wheaton.

Nothing beats pressure up the middle.

Except a mobile QB...

If your de's are doing their contain properly. Keeping the mobile qb in the pocket and not running past him. It doesn't matter how fast he is. Teams do that to Vick all the time. And, you'll start to see them do it against the read option next year.

FWIW, this is from Drafttek, literally from the school of Tavon Wilson, and not often heard of, at #59

Michael Buchanan
Illinois
DE43
Reach/Value: -2 Height:
6'5"
Weight:
240
There has been little talk of Illinois' Michael Buchanan, and something tells me that the Patriots like it that way. Last week I compared Buchanan to New England's top pick last season, Chandler Jones, and I maintain that stance after an impressive combine performance. Buchanan bested virtually all of the measurables that made Jones the 21st selection out of Syracuse last year, aside from a slight disadvantage in vertical leap (-2 inches) and weight (-11 lbs). Officially 6'5" and 255 lbs, the Illinois native has enough room on his frame to add bulk while still maintaining the athleticism that pops on tape and allows him to get up field and around would be blockers. The main difference between the two Ends at this stage was that Jones graduated with a bit more polish and understanding of technique, while Buchanan is more of a raw prospect. The Patriots could opt to bring Buchanan off the bench while he improves his size and skills, using him as a rotational end and grooming him to assume the side opposite his doppelganger. ~MP
