I am going to fire off four picks, rapid fire style until the draft.
Shooting from the hip
#22 - Jerry Hughes - DE Texas Christian
- adds a situational pass rusher to the defense
- will have to improve run defense but plays all sub packages in year 1
- thought process, obvious need might as well take the player they like at 22
#44 - Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
- adds quality depth and is a potential starter in year 1
- thought process, you can never have enough linebackers in a 3-4, Spikes has versatility (can play some OLB) and also has blitzing experience
#47 - Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
- adds a good (not great player) to the secondary
- thought process, this pick may change if Bodden is signed but somehow the Patriots must start playing better CBs than Whilhite
#53 - Ryan Mathews - RB Fresno State, Junior
- added to the rotation in year 1, bye bye BJGE or even Maroney
- potential to be number 1 type back in year 2 if he can learn blitz pickup
Damn this is hard, I still see holes at LDE and TE but maybe we can strike gold in rounds 4-7.
