Re: Pats resign Vollmer!!!
Couple points:
1) Wilfork was a 2 down player for NE that slowly developed into an indispensable force
2) Wilfork is indispensable because of the lack of talent in the middle. He pushes the pocket but rarely makes it near the QB. Building the perfect D, is Big Vince the guy you want rushing on third and long?
Find me a Wilfork/Warren/Seymour available when we pick and I'd agree with you. But you are talking about #6, #13 and #21 overall for those three picks. A DT that can both stop the run and pressure the QB (ie a 3 down guy) is an elite skillset that isn't a given at the backend of the first - even in a strong year for DT's.
