Honestly, I don't think you do enough for the ILB position. I don't buy that Woodley can make the transition there, unless its only to be a 2 down run-stopping LB. Desmond Bishop hasn't wowed me at all. Neither has Walter Thomas for that matter. Also, Thomas did NOT run a 4.9 at 365 lbs. He ran a 5.1 and he was at 370 lbs. That being said, he'd probably run a 4.8-4.9 at 350 lbs. Getting him there is the problem.

Cousin, I agree with you, Some of my pics bother me too but I tried to be realistic. ILB is a challenge this year after Willis. I love the game of Buster Davis (he was the best ILB I saw this year of anybody) but he's just too short.
Here's one. I think Stewart Bradley can be a ILB. He's a third round type guy. Will he last until the end of 4? Waters does not impress me and he seems by the account of all media and experts, to not have tackling ability. Boy that helps! He was also hurt. Strike 2 and he was not a Wonderlick Warrior, Strike 3. In other words he might not be that smart, but he can't tackle either.
Taylor from UG has been mentioned as a sleeper, but he's a little small fro an NE ILB. Like Abbate for intangibles but he seems like a Larry Izzo type and size. Siler has the size and could be a steal. He should have stayed in school one more year and he is rated as of today lower than D'Ossie. Like Zac but I don't know. He prefers OLB. Zalewski from Wisc.?
Would like Harris after Willis but who do you drop off the top side. We need a corner and a safety IMO.
Now I have one. Would you take Poz and use him in the middle? I would take him at 28 over Griffin and grab another safety later.
I think Thomas at an "extra petite" 350 helps the Pats by giving Vince some plays off. You need a taxi cab to get around this guy if he just falls down. What center in the league can power him....none if he is at all half-way decent and at 5.1 in the 40 it ain't slow for 365.
