The New England Patriots definitely need to groom highly talented inside linebackers and the 2007 NFL draft is the best vehicle for that task without breaking the budget.You're probably right. If he was available in the early third, I'd love to trade up though. On second thought, I'd just want to see them take him with their second rounder.
The New England Patriots could take Patrick Willis with the 24th overall selection and draft a wide receiver with the 28th overall selection. The selection of a wide receiver in the first round is dependent on the retirement of Mister Patriot Troy Brown, in my humble opinion.Thanks for the link Atipp. Looks like the Pats could strengthen themselves and weaken the Colts by taking Willis. Looks like a winning situation to me. Bowe probably drops to the second round imo so we could still take him there later... if that's a guy we like.
Speaking of LB, from : http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/features/seniorbowl/reports/south123.html
"The big story along the defensive line today was the reemergence of Georgia's Quentin Moses, who was seemingly all over the field. Whether it was putting pressure on the quarterback or batting down passes Moses was close to dominant today and he is so smooth and fluid as an athlete that I am more convinced than ever that he could excel as a 3-4 outside linebacker."

Specifically interesting that they say he's looked good in coverage as I heard a while ago that they main question on him was whether his coverage was good enough to be a 3 down LB.From the same article it says that Willis has still been the cream of the crop.
If Willis is so highly rated would he last until pick #24? One site has him ranked as the #1 overall ILB.

S Griffin would look good in Pats uni as well though some sites have him listed as only the #5 safety. When would he be available?

At worst, he could fill the Ted Johnson role in his rookie season.Specifically interesting that they say he's looked good in coverage as I heard a while ago that they main question on him was whether his coverage was good enough to be a 3 down LB.

I remember that however the Patriots desperately need to select young linebackers in the 2007 NFL draft. I don't want a repeat of the Monty Beisel/Chad Brown debacle of 2005.People thought that Ernest Shazor was a 1st round talent pick. I don't believe he was drafted.
Ryan O'Callaghan was said to be 1st round talent. He fell to the Pats in the 5th round.
Things happen that people can't explain.

I don't see the Pats taking a WR in the 1st round. Maybe not even the 2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft 4 defensive players in the 1st 3 rounds.
Dwayne Bowe could become the next Anquan Boldin especially considering the same body structure.I don't see the Pats taking a WR in the 1st round. Maybe not even the 2nd round. I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft 4 defensive players in the 1st 3 rounds.
