I was just looking at the interactive mock happening as we speak on this board, and it hit me:
1. Miami- Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
2. St. Louis- Chris Long, DE, Virginia
3. Atlanta- Jake Long, OT, Michigan
4. Oakland Baron Patriot- Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
5. Kansas City Handel- Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
6. New York Jets- Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
7. New England- Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
8. Baltimore- Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
9. Cincinnati- Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
10. New Orleans- Glen Dorsey, DT, LSU
11. Buffalo- Keith Rivers, LB, USC
12. Denver- Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
13. Carolina- Chris William, OT, Vanderbilt
14. Chicago- Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
15. Detroit- Trevor Laws, DT Notre Dame
16. Arizona- Kenny Philips, S, Miami
17. Minnesota- Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn
Halfway through the 1st round, there's now exactly one player left who you might expect to have a significant impact on the Pats lineup at OLB (Avril). Meanwhile at CB you still have a good half-dozen very strong prospects. Add in BB/SPs history of drafting DBs with pedestrian measurables (but great field awareness and ball skills), and springing CB at #7 looks like very poor use of resources.
Fire away, of course.
