Clayborn and Hudson are both great picks, while I wouldn't protest Devine too much - although I question whether he can handle the blocking and complicated offense.
Von Miller has no business being on the Patriots. He would get demolished trying to set the edge.

Im just putting this out here. Its seems like an OK Draft but i think BB could do better, but knowing BB he will trade down like he did the past 2 drafts.
A lot can happen between now and draft day, but if I had to mock, I would do as follows:
WR Green of Georgia. If he runs well. Replacement for Moss.
DE Bailey of Miami. Provided he gets his weight and strength up. Fills the Seymour sized hole on the DL.
OT Ziemba of Auburn. If Light leaves, Vollmer moves to the left side and Ziemba takes over at RT. An absolute run blocking beast that is Patriot smart and mobile.
Trade the remaining 2nd rounder for a 2012 first rounder.
If the draft fell this way, the Pats could absolutely clean up...
DE Marcell Dareus - If he were a couple of inches taller, an ideal Seymour replacement
WR Jonathan Baldwin - Assuming Moss moves on, get a huge target outside for Brady
OG Mike Pouncey - Steps right in for Mankins or Neal
OLB Da'Quan Bowers - Inconsistent at Clemson but too good a skill set to pass on late in the 2nd
Tighten up the RB position in FA and later in the draft. The only question would be OT if Light moves on, but there are young candidates on the roster and the LT-in-waiting in Vollmer.
I would not draft Hudson. He is a waist bender not a knee bender and does not have a flat back.
The kid from Winconsin, Moffitt? Looks like a mini Mankins with his power and technique.
I know we need OLB and DE's but I have been thinking....Our RB situation SUCKS!!! Would it be best to take the best RB available with Oaklands pick to be our stud back with brady the next couple of years? ...
Just throwing this out there as one I'll try to watch this season as a possible 2011 OLB candidate for the Pats:
Ryan Winterswyck (DE - Boise State), 6'4"/263# -- 13.5 sacks, 28.5 TFLs and several PBUs over the past two seasons. Projected 40 around 4.8. Converted from Safety to DL as he grew, so has at least some experience in coverage (evident from his PBUs). The TFL numbers appear to indicate he's no liability against the run. Has some pass rush ability, apparently. IOW, the right size, and well-roundedness that BB seems to look for. Long speed is a bit slow, but - as we've seen with Spikes so far - good instincts, agility and a good first step can make that point moot.
WalterFootball has him currently ranked as the 11th best DE and projects him for the 2nd round (not that this means much); ranked #7 overall player in Scout.com's Top 30 WAC players heading into the 2010 season. NFLDraftScout has him ranked 15th among DEs and projects him to Round 5. DrafTek already has him projected as a 34 OLB, also for Round 5.
I think you have found a great OLB prospect in Winterswyck. Saw him play some last year and I like his game. Seemed better against the run than pass. With some work on technique by BB and a lot of work by Woicik on S&C and he could be special in our defense.
If you think that BB will spend a 1 st round pick on a RB ,you're kidding yourselves.
Patriots need to draft linemem first and foremost.
