Anytime people talk about the Patriots drafting philosophy the word “value” is always mentioned. To be honest I’m a bit confused as to what this exactly means. Does it mean that the Pats will draft the best player available even if it’s not in a need position? A few mocks have us taking Sedrick Ellis who as far as I can see plays in the same position as Vince Wilfork who is a pro-bowler and a true defensive line stud. In explaining the pick of Ellis some mock commentators have clearly said we don’t need Ellis but we’d take him anyway has he represents best value.
The 7th pick is a big opportunity to upgrade key positions in the team and I’m not sure I get the picking up a player we don’t need simply because he’s the best player on the board. Surely you draft for need or am I wrong
