Thanks, good read. I've been liking all those Yahoo profiles.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be happy if the Pats picked not only one of those players, but two in the first round. Maybe its the write up, but they all sound like BB/Patriot type players (even Meriweather from what I have read has been saying all the right things post-brawl).

The Utah kid sounds like a BB guy a lot, very versatile. Would love him paired with one of Nelson, Griffin, or Meriweather.

Why do I get the idea that noone realises how bad our situation at ILB is or just dont care???

Yes we need a Safety but the first priority should be ILB.

Not 2 safeties in the 1st round...:confused:

i think our D is so complex that we would rather have a vet in at ILB rather than a rookie. Maybe a rookie in the third round that can have time to figure it out. First round is for guy to hopefully help now. I think that is the thinking anyway

i like that fact that wher ever i look, these safetys are listed in different orders, shows they are pretty even in skill...BB should be able to just pick whatever one he wants...if not, which ever one is available

Well, then they need to go get one because Bruschi has 1 maybe 2 years left and Vrabel should not play inside due to his back problems.:mad:

The Pats do need to get a good safety to replace Eugene Wilson.

I don't think they will trade both #1 picks to get Landry. If they

want Nelson, they would probably have to trade up with Green Bay to

get ahead of Jacksonville. This would also require multiple draft picks.

The other three guys should be there at both of the Pats first round

picks. I suspect the Pats will wait it out and take one of them. The other #1

pick I hope they use on a linebacker.

Which one?

And don't you think that bringing in stud ILB like say, Patrick Willis, to learn from the vets this year would pay big dividends next year and the following years?

This isn't worth anything, but Kipers mock yesterday had us taking Willis at #24 and Nelson at #28.

i dont think willis falls to 24 or 28.....there are other ILBs worth taking a look at though...
