I read about Maualuga, a Sintim conversion project, J.Phillips...
But I would like to know your tought about this role!
Jasper Brinkley is probably the classic Ted Johnson type run stuffer likely to be available. His stock appears to be rising:
USC’s Brinkley sees his stock rise after returning to form | Spartanburg, South Carolina | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal
I'm not sure where he's going to go right now. #89 would be reasonable for him.
I like Jason Phillips, if he could add 10-15 lbs.
the 2 down run stuffer was more important back in the beginning of the BB regime given weaknesses along the DL........it is not as important as long as you have guys like warren,wilfork, and seymour up front
His combine number were awfully good, he could be a nice partner for Mayo.Jasper Brinkley is probably the classic Ted Johnson type run stuffer likely to be available. His stock appears to be rising:

Late 4th/early 5th.Where is Jasper Brinkley projected?
Late 4th/early 5th.
I've seen mocks that have him going all over the place, for consistency I use NFL Draft Scout for projections since they are the primary source for sites like NFL.com, CBS Sports, and USA Today and have been pretty reliable in the time I've been using them.BOR Have you read high fourth on that by some services?

Finally, Jason Williams from Rodney Harrison's alma mater has 289 career tackles, 44.5 for a loss, he also has 14 career forced fumbles. This kid plays downhill well to have so many TFL, he's okay in reverse too with decent PBU numbers his last two years - he played at Safety as a redshirt freshman with two starts. He's a little too much like Mayo, but with double the TFL in his career appears to play downhill better. If he can bulk up a few more pounds and learn to stack & shed OL he's money. A high school RB, he has one year at Safety and three seasons at WLB.
Williams is #1 on my board to pair w/ Mayo. He has far too many qualities the Pats covet to not consider him. The game has changed, and it's necessary to add players who will allow you to adjust to those changes. Head bangers were fine in it's day, and we still need the stack & shedders, but coverage and playing in space is crucial -- especially with the Pats D. IMO, Belichick will be altering the roster by adding such players.
If we prefer the TJ route, I'd opt for Brinkley.
Brinkley has the size, and his Combine certainly surprised me because it just never seemed that he played that fast. My trouble ever since I checked him out in 2006 is his "nose for the ball," he just didn't seem to find the ball carrier as well as I'd like to see. For comparison you can look to Brinkley's teammate Eric Norwood who seems to be magnetically aligned with the ball. Brinkley also didn't seem to do as well at stacking & shedding - his brother Casper was the twin who looked more capable from a NE ILB perspective. Brinkley in the 4th would be okay for value, but I'm not sold on him.Williams is #1 on my board to pair w/ Mayo. He has far too many qualities the Pats covet to not consider him.
