A lot of chatter re the draft and what we need at SS, ILB, etc.
One thing I have heard Belichick say is that a first round draft pick has to project with strong certainty as a first year starter. And my sense is that it is MUCH easier to project beef -- OL, DL, TE, etc -- than it is to project skilled positions.
I am no expert on the college talent, but are the ILBs and DBs at the bottom of the board in Rd1 clearly starters?
Would we be all that surprised if BB drafted an offensive tackle and a tight end?!!
Just a different angle on this
