Many complain that it is difficult to determine who Belechick will draft.
I think it is actually fairly easy, if you keep a few concepts in mind that Belechick himself has said,
1) First round is for starters not reserves,
2) In the First round you only select sure things. No motivation,size, speed, or athletic deficiencies,
3) Gambles are for the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
4) Draft for NEXT seasons weaknesses, not last season's holes.
You have already faced those issues last season, and the problem is likely already on its way to solution, if you have a winning record.
5) if you reach in the first round to fill a weaknesses, you'll likely be drafting again to remedy that weakness, Next Draft. Sometimes there is just no one suitable. Wishing won't change that.
6) Observation: This next season's team is likely to be the most talented and complete team, on both Offense, and also on Defense, since BB undertook to rebuild, (wash your mouth out with soap! That word is verboten.), in 2009. For confirmation look at last season's statistics. Third in scoring on Offense; lower 3rd down completion rate stats, and finally suitable sack stats, and stabilized, partial year rushing defense.
Applying those concepts removes the discussion of using a First to draft a RESERVE DE, or a RESERVE TE, or a RESERVE LB,
What are future weaknesses? C, RG, and then LG, QB, perhaps DT.
There are no QB nor DE worth drafting where the Pats are picking.
There are quality interior OLs available this year that should be available late First into the late Second round.
There may be a QB available later, who should be rated in the late First or Second.
There will be BACKUP QBs who should be rated higher, due to injury, available in the 4th to 6th round.
There should be RESERVE TEs available to draft in 3rd through the 6th round,
There should be RESERVE LBs available to draft in the 4th through the 7th round,
There should be RESERVE RBs available to draft in the 4th through UDFAs.
The Pats already have a suitable contingent of low rated interior OLs in development, but they appear to lack front line quality talent.
The Pats already have a suitable contingent of low rated DLs in development, but they MIGHT lack a few front line, young talents,
With that information you should easily construct a Belechick draft; and what he might undertake for draft position changes and why he is doing it
