My argument is simple. They do not draft 1st day linebackers. Every other team does.
WRONG. They "have not" drafted 1st day linebackers. We used to say "they do not draft 1st round interior linemen," too. How'd that work out, Mankins?
The Patriots don't HAVE one specific philosophy that they hold to, outside of looking for value (which may affect certain positions more than others) and trying to improve the football team the best they can.
I understand your bottom-lineness re: "well, they haven't so they don't," but my point was, and is, that given they DO have those guys high on their draft board, it seems that they don't rule it out completely as you have. They've also never had - at the time of the draft - as dire a need to get young at the position as they will next April with Bruschi and Seau likely hanging 'em up.
