7. N.E. Patriots (from 5-11 San Francisco) -- Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
Record: 18-1 | Needs: LB, CB, DS, OL, RB
Previous mock selection: Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
The Patriots would like to inject some youth at linebacker, which is why Gholston makes so much sense with this pick. Gholston is a bit inconsistent, but he also is one of the premier pass-rushers in the 2008 class and fits perfectly as a rush linebacker in the Pats' 3-4 scheme.
If Gholston is off the board and New England can't trade out, the next priority is to find a replacement for Asante Samuel, a free agent who can't be franchised for a second consecutive year.
