With the lack of depth at OLB and ILB and the potential turnover on the O-line and in the depth positions, now is a good time to start looking at players the Pats might be looking at. I've picked on names of seniors who I'd like to keep tabs on. Other names are welcome, including the juniors.
Micah Johnson - ILB - Kentucky - At 6'2 and 256, the kid is very good in coverage as well as against the run. He's only listed as a 4th round pick, but that could change with a good season.
Jamar Chaney - ILB/OLB - Mississippi St. - 6' 1/2" and 242. Well rounded LB who has played MLB and WLB. Currently listed as a 5th round pick
Brandon Spikes - ILB - Florida - 6'2 and 256 lbs. Is listed as the top ILB for 2010. Probably will be off the board by the time the Pats draft.
Sergio Kindle - OLB - Texas - 6'3 and 242 - Kindle is listed as the top OLB in the draft right now. Plays OLB and on Special teams
Sean Weatherspoon - OLB/ILB -Missouri - 6'1 and 245 - Looks to be one of the top players in the draft. Could be around when the Pats draft.
Jerry Hughes - OLB- TCU - 6'1 and 252 - He's built for the Pats ILB position,not the OLB position. His pass rushing abilities there could really help balance out the defense.
Eric Norwood - OLB/ILB - South Carolina - 6'0 and 252 lbs Big time playmaker. Slated as a 3rd round pick right now.
Greg Hardy - DE/OLB - Mississippi - 6'3 and 265 lbs - The top DE right now in the draft. Would convert to OLB for the Pats.
Jermaine Cunningham - DE/OLB - Florida -6'3 and 252. Teammate of Spikes.
Corey Wootton - DE/OLB - Northwestern - 6'6 and 270 - Candidate for the Elephant. Gets his hands into the passing lanes.
Ricky Sapp - DE/OLB - Clemson - 6'4 and 245 - Rush OLB for the Pats. Good on the Pass rush and against the run. Not sure about dropping back into coverage.
Jermaine Gresham - TE - Oklahoma - Great pass catching TE. Don't know how he is as a blocker
Anthony McCoy - TE - USC - was known more for his blocking than anything else. Started to show skills as a pass catcher last season. Plays on special teams
JD Walton -C - Baylor - Intelligent and very good technique. Not overly large, but strong at the POA.
Vince Oghobaase - DT - Duke - Would be converted to a 3-4 DE. Has the size that BB likes. Could be a replacement for Smith, Green or Seymour.
