This may very well be Corey Dillon's last year w/ the Patriots. Either way we know the Patriots need a running back of the future. In most drafts LenDale White is a top 10 pick. He has amazing college production. If you look at White the "player" everyone would agree he is the prototypical Patriots back. Some may say people question his work ethic and @ times appears lazy, sounds exactly like what people said about our last pick @ 21-Vince Wilfork. When Wilfork fell to us it was considered great value. The same can be said for White. Some may say BB would never draft a running back in the first round, but in "Patriot Reign" it says that Kevin Jones was on BB's list of players he wanted. Michael Holley last week said on EEI that if Jones was still on the board @ 32 they would of picked him over Watson. Lets not forget last year @ this time everyone said BB would never take an OL in the 1st round and they took Mankins. If BB can draft a great talent like White to be the running back for the next 6 years, I believe he will. All I am saying is don't be shocked and certainly not dissapointed if White gets his name called.
