I'm still not comfortable with Merriweather and JSanders as my starting safeties. They are just too SMALL for my taste. I love Merriweather as a FS and think he would thrive if we could find a stud SS to pair with him.
Now granted the Pats aren't wed to the FS/SS concept and often interchange their safeties, but we did a decent job in adding some size to our CB position, but now I think we need to improve both the depth and starters at safety. This is an area we can utilize the draft. As of this moment I'd love to see the Pats make one of their first 2 picks the best S on the board, hopefully someone over 6' and 200lbs. Someone who can be an immediate contributor, and be a starter by mid season.
IMHO that is the only need pick we have to accomplish in the draft, after that we should simply take the best player on the board.
