Just sitting around bored because there is no football today. Assuming the following happens after we win next weekend.
Randy Moss resigns
Dante Stallworth leaves to free agency
Asante Samuel leaves to free agency
Junior Seau retires
Troy Brown retires
I am not going to try and predict who we may go after in free agency because I don't know enough about who is available. These picks do not include any trades. I used a couple of different websites to track the possible availability of the the players at the spots the Patriots draft.
First Round --- Vernon Gholston LB/DE Ohio State. I am not in love with this pick, but I don't believe there are any corners or other players worth the 7th pick in the draft. Gholston is insurance if Colvin does not comeback and also gives them youth on the outside.
Second Round --- Justin King CB Penn State. An excellent athlete. He has been a very productive player at Penn State for a number of years. He is also very good against the run.
Third Round --- Xavier Adibi LB Virginia Tech. The youth movement continues at linebacker. Worst case scenario, you have another outstanding special teams player.
Third Round --- DJ Hall WR Alabama. Very productive in the SEC. He can also return punts. Don't underestimate the Saban connection.
Fourth Round --- Craig Steltz S LSU. Another excellent player from the SEC. He was recruited by Saban and was the most consistent defensive player on LSUs defense this year.
Fifth Round --- Erik Ainge QB Tennessee. I like Matt Cassell, but I don't think he is the answer if something happened.
Sixth Round --- John Sullivan OL Notre Dame. Practice squad player.
Seventh Round --- Jonathan Zenon CB LSU. Practice squad player.
