i think trading up to get willis would not make sense value wise to the patriots. i agree that he is a top 10 talent, but i dont see him as the best fit in the pats d. if he were to fall to 24, i think it would be fair to say itd be a BPA situation, but i don't see him as the perfect fit worthy of trading up in the draft. pats mlb spend a lot of time taking on OL, and i dont think that plays to willis' strong suits. set him loose in a 4-3 and i think you'd have a very productive player, but it dosen't look like bill and his 3-4 are leaving anytime soon. that being said, hes too good of an athlete to pass up at 24. assuming thats pretty unlikely, i think the pats will go in a different direction at LB-everyone seems to forget eric alexander, who had 10 tackles in the afc title game. i think he and another mid round draft pick will hold down the lb core until next yrs stellar lb class comes out/bruschi retires
