If this is the guy BB and Pioli want, would we have to trade up? There are a handful of teams above us which could take him...I see Lawson as a similar player to Demarcus Ware who went 11th.
If he's there for us at #21, fine, but there's enough chance he will be, or that there will be an equally good player, to make it not worth trading up IMO.Chewy said:Here are a couple of Mocks that list Lawson going in the teens...

SNL said:#12 to the Browns is a good laugh! Unless he has rocketed up the draft charts (possible) Most draft boards barely have him in the first round, most have him in the second round. I think he's a late first round pick at best. Would I be upset if the Patriots take him at 21? No. They need LBs, and I feel he could be good here, however I also like RB Williams; CB Joseph; LB Carpenter; CB Williams; and CB Hill.
I wouldn't be surprised if they pick an OL (depending on Light's recovery) or DL ( if a good one is available) maybe go to a 4-3?
Lawson drifted up for a while but is definitely trending down now. That's not to say he will be there at #21 but there's a pretty good chance he will be.bucky said:Lawson kicked ass at the Sr Bowl and tested off the charts at the combine, including a 4.4 40. That's more than enough to move him up. In fact, a lot of the sites have already moved him up to the #2 DE prospect.

I know patchick and I each had him in FF's contest, though I can say I wasn't expecting 1st round.PatsFanInVa said:Which of you guys predicted Logan Mankins again?

big mike said:Being a 3-4 tweener with great physical skills, but some things that definitely need improvement (stopping the run, etc.), Lawson is somewhat of a wildcard. He could go anywhere from mid-first to late-2nd I think. There will be many teams looking for an OLB in the late first round (us, NY Giants, Carolina, etc.) and several in the second. Most of the teams in the mid-first round up until us aren't really looking at LB that much, except for Dallas. I think Cleveland will either go DT or Wimbley if they go LB, not Lawson. If Lawson doesn't go to Dallas, he would likely be there at 21. He does have huge upside, but more risk than a guy like Carpenter (who has less potential upside, but is more of a guarantee). At this point, it depends on how much teams are willing to go for the higher risk of Lawson, based on his stellar physical skills.
