Right folks, still plenty of talent out there. Three players I'd look at in the fourth round:

Aaron Lynch, DE, USF. Looked unblockable at Notre Dame but missed home so transferred. Had a rough couple of years since but incredibly talented.

Chris Smith, DE, Arkansas. Would offer a lot of value as a sub-package rusher and could develop into a Charles Johnson type.

Bryan Stork, C, FSU. We need an upgrade at the position and this kid has played for a quality program and at a couple of positions.

What say you?

I found my pick #105 binky for tomorrow. He only needs to last for 5 more picks. He certainly wouldn't be a reach at least as ranked by CBS. He fills a definite team need at SS but is versatile enough to play elsewhere in the secondary. OK size for the position and decent measurable athleticism at the combine. I assume he has been thoroughly vetted, scouted and physically tested by his big brother for purposes of this nepotism selection:

Brock Vereen looks like a Patriots fit with the next pick.

From this point forward they will look for versatile character guys like this who BB covets or players playing one position in college who project to play other positions as pros. Fast undersized defensive ends can convert to pro linebackers. Interior linemen who can move around might fit too. An OK guard might convert into a very good center. This is where the scouts will earn their pay.
 
Johnathan Dowling isn't related to Ras-IR is he?
 
lets wait and see cause I do not think anyone had Easly and Grapppppppppooooolllllooooo.
 
How about a top prep TE recruit with ideal measurables who was moved to a different position by his college program?

Logan Thomas: 6'6" 248 4.54 35.5" 09'10" 4.18 7.05

I see your Thomas and raise you a Jensen and a Webster
Marcel Jensen: 6'6" 259 4.81 35 9'7" 4.60 7.38
Larry Webster: 6'6" 252 4.58 36.5 10'3" 4.44 7.29

Oops, didn't notice the position move part.

I would take this scenario –

105-Jordan Tripp
130-Brock Vereen
140-Brandon Coleman
179-Wesley Johnson
198-Larry Webster
206-Lorenzo Taliaferro
244-Marcel Jensen
 
I'd be really happy if we come out of today with one or two players that have a chance of being impact players "this year" for us.

-Bradford
-Tripp
-Exum
-Yankey
-Coleman
-Lynch
-Ellington

just to name a few. Think there is some talent out there. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I'd take this scenario in a heartbeat!!!
 
The one thing I notice about the list in the posts above is that a lot of the guys on that list either visited the Pats or had a private workout with the Pats.

But my favorite player on the available list is Anthony Steen. Three year starter in the SEC who had physically whipped some of the biggest and nastiest D linemen drafted out of the SEC for the past three years.
 
Jordan Tripp LB
Brock Vereen SS
Wesley Johnson OL
John Urschel OC/OG
James Stone OC
Cyril Richardson OG
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif OT
Kevin Pierre-Louis LB
Antone Exum CB/FS
Kevin Norwood WR
Jared Abbrederis WR
Jackson Jeffcoat DE
Brent Urban DE
Caraun Reid DT
Vinnie Sunseri SS
A.C. Leonard TE
Colt Lyerla TE
Arthur Lynch TE
Bene Benwikere CB
Brandon Coleman WR

Are the ones I'll be looking out for.
 
I don't think we make 7 picks today. I think another trade or 2 is likely.
