We've had three first rounders on the DL for years, plus a situational backup. We used to count on our ILB's to complete the plugging up of the middle.
Can Belichick do his magic with ther current set of three first rounders 3, 22, and 12) and a situational backup? Belichick's spent the draft choices on getting us young ILB studs (#10 and #62). Spikes would also have been a first rounder if not for his ridiculous 40 time.
We'll see where we are after the season, but I suspect that one of next year's firsts(probably the first pick we make) will be on a top DE to complete the revitalization of the DL.
