Earlier this offseason I thought the Pats may target Reed at #33 and then it appeared that if they wanted him they would need to grab him at #28.
Now it seems like they may need to move up a few spots from there if they want him. Reed has already visited the Cardinals and Bills, worked out with the Vikings, Ravens, Jaguars, Jets, Browns and Dolphins in addition to the Pats, and this week is being brought in by the Falcons, Redskins and Colts.
I think if the Pats don't take him at #28 then the Packers or Jets may grab him before the first round ends.
If the interest in him by other NFL teams is too high the Patriots may pass; regardless of how good he is the Pats will only draft him (or anyone else) if they feel it is a good value.
