I believe they can wait until 28 to get Wilkerson, though. I think upgrading the OL is equally important......if you can get the right OT at 17, then you do it......unless so few of them were selected before 17 that a good one will be there at 28 or 33. I want castonzo or solder, though.
Carriker was actually pretty decent once he got in a 3-4 in Washington
Posters here have asked for a passrushing OLB every year since Belichick arrived. That may come or not. It may come in the first or not.
Belichick DEFINTELY understands the need to draft top defensive linemen. Who is acceptable to you as a DE? Is Wilkerson at 17 OK if ther rest are gone?
I have been saying this all year long ...
we had Vince Wilfork playing DE this year. He did okay but I'd rather have one a bit leaner and taller.
Wilkerson?
NO.
HELL, no.
Phil Taylor ~ if he checks out.
Kenrick Ellis ~ if he checks out.
Cameron Heyward.
Last But Not Least: JJ Dynomite Mega Watt!!
Wilkerson??
HELL, no.

Wilkerson??
HELL, no.
The latest DRAFTEK consensus mock has NINE front seven defensive players being drafted in the first 16 picks. We will have what's left if we don't move up. We need to understand what this base case means to us.
Yes, almost all of us would draft Watt. Some would trade up if there is a reasonable offer.
However, it is getting less and less likely that Watt will slip. As far as trade partners, we need to trade with one the teams that want to draft a quarterback, an OT, or a corner. There will certainly be lots of teams wanting one of the defensive players before 17.
I suspect that we will have the choice of Costonzo, Kerrigan or Wilkerson at 17. This is not a bad choice of talent at 17. It seems that we could wait and get Heyward or Paea later (or Ballard as some have us drafting at 28).
While many here might choose Kerrigan (and a fine choice he is), I suspect that, for Belichick, DE's have a much higher value at this point in the draft because they don't need a year of training at a new position.
I would think that Belichick would take Wilkerson if Watt is gone and look to take one of the OLB's at 28 (perhaps Kerrigan or Reed) or even wait until 33.

So no to Wilkerson? Yes to 2 NTs'?
Yes to Watt who probably won't be there unless we trade up?
I guess Heyward it is then. I'm fine with him too btw.
I like the value for Ellis a lot more than Taylor as well
Wilkerson?
NO.

Okay, I'll bite.
What do you dislike about Wilkerson, specifically?
