Nice encapsulation of players that fit our 3-4 scheme at OLB. The prospects are listed based on projected position, not college position. Lot of undersized DEs in the class.

Carpenter, Lawson, Dumervil... Kudla, Tapp.
Interesting to me that Hali in not mentioned, based on other posts on this board that he can play in coverage. This re-inforces my gut that he's a better prospect as a pure down lineman.
With Vrabel playing inside, McGinest and Brown nearing the end of their careers, we have Colvin and TBC projected at the spot long term.
With all the picks we have, and the clear need at both OLB and ILB, I'm 90% sure we'll draft at least one of the players off this list. What intruiges me most is the players like Quentin Moses, Quentin Groves and Copeland Bryan and other guys I've never even heard of. The mainstream draftnik sites dont slat their coverage to the 3-4, so those kinds of names dont get enough airplay for Pats fans.
Plus, I have yet to observe a BB draft in which Patriots Nation didn't emit a giant "Who??" in unison. So getting a deep undigested list of prospects like this is very valuable.
