The longer I look at the draft board and the Patriots, the more I want depth in the trenches. He's mature after a couple of years off on a Mormon Mission, big legs and butt, and ranked anywhere from top 10 to early 3rd round.

I would be in hog heaven if Pryor fell to us. He's exactly what the Pats need paired across from McCourty. He gives you FS coverage skills and the ability to hit like a Mack truck. He can play centerfield, deep, or in the box. After him, I would say Easley and/or Jordan Matthews in the 2nd. I particularly think Matthews would be an absolute monster in this offense.
I might be the only person here that likes Bucannon more than Pryor straight up. Not to say I don't like Pryor because I do. It is just I see Bucannon as a more complete SS. He runs a 4.50 vs a 4.60 (like Pryor does) and his coverage skill is pretty legit. Pryor is a beast in the box and a hard hitter at the LOS but I just see Bucannon as a more balanced option which is probably what you want in today's NFL.
My binkies are OL Joel Bitonio and S Deone Buchannon.
Buchannon most of all. #29 is probably too early for him, but I really doubt he'll be there for our 2nd round pick. I won't be totally shocked if we took him @ #29. I think he fits that well.
Very realistic choices, IMO. I was skeptical on Bucannon at first but I've been warming to him.
