Several DB's that would instantly upgrade the Pats.
Buffalo's Jabari Greer is listed at #47.
Phil Buchanan is right behind at #48 - he's been an up & down guy. Drafted at #17 overall, then traded, then released, then resurrected in Tampa Bay.
A bunch of safeties.
Headed by Jermaine Phillips, who would be a coup to bring in.
Atogwe and Dawkins, at different ends of their careers. Atogwe would also be expensive.
Sean Jones is an intriguing guy, athletic, played in Cleveland, but hasn't lived up to his early billing. He could be a real target in free agency.
The only real 3-4 OLB's are Suggs, Peppers, and Dansby.
Suggs and Peppers would be way too expensive.
Dansby really projects to more of an ILB in this system, and is also probably too expensive for the value he offers at ILB for the Pats.
Vilma, Crowder, and Andra Davis would all be welcome additions at ILB, and each could contribute significantly. A rotation with Mayo, Vilma/Crowder/Davis, Bruschi, and Guyton would be very effective.
A-s-o-m-u-g-h-a !!!!!
How bout Channing Crowder? I know he talks alot, but he seems to care alot about playing football. and didnt Miami play a 3-4 last year?

Crowder has some skill, but he is not a great third-down player, and to pay a linebacker, you have to be able to make a difference on third down. The agent for Crowder has expectations as he sees his player as a starter and wants to get starting money. But for me, if a linebacker can’t play on third down and make an impact, he can’t get a big contract. When a team can just use a formation to get a player off the field, why would it pay him big money? He’s a replaceable part.
