This from the Associated Press by way of CNNSI:
New England Patriots go into NFL draft with four of top 58 picks - SI.com - NFL Draft
The opening line: "Bill Belichick has a shot at his second straight solid draft after two years of mediocrity." I don't think they have a very good handle on what BB considers a solid draft. As BB said in his presser the other day, his only metric is whether he improved the team. He came out of 2007 with Brandon Meriweather, Wes Welker, Randy Moss and a 2008 1st which he later turned into Jerod Mayo. I would call that a successful draft.
Not much new info here. Mostly a stringing together of quotes from BB's press conference. According to the article, "Among those who could be available with the 23rd pick are Connor Barwin of Cincinnati, Larry English of Northern Illinois, and Clay Matthews of Southern California.
Cornerback Darius Butler of Connecticut could be a possibility, along with his college teammate, running back Donald Brown."
