Here's an undersized LB running up the draft board, who doesn't fit the Pat's draft profile for LB at all... except that he's a versatile, hard working leader with top intangibles and great productivity.
Here's what I'm thinking: a cross between Don Davis and Rodney Harrison.

6-1, 230 and sub-4.60 40. Same basic measurables as Piscitelli and Rouse, the bigger type SSs that BB prefers. Good range, big hitter, excellent in space, smooth in coverage. Difference is, as a college LB, he's proven against the run, great versatility.
I've spent the last few days preparing myself for the unexpected pick, someone that no one is thinking about at #28 that, in retrospect, will seem utterly right.
I'm not making any claims about Durant, but maybe we need to think about him the way BB would.
