Based on Belichick's well-chronicled record, here are four general rules to consider when trying to guess who the Patriots might pick:
1. Belichick trusts players whose college coaches share Belichick's general philosophies about football.
-----
2. Belichick likes his linebackers big, smart and versatile.
-----
3. Belichick doesn't draft for glamour or urgent need. It's all about value.
-----
4. Belichick drafts based on his system. He wants smart, tough, versatile, productive players who fit what he is trying to do, not necessarily those who are the darlings of the draftniks.
