Interesting 3 round mock from Walter Football:
2013 NFL Mock Draft - WalterFootball.com
They have the Pats taking DT Kawann Short at 26, WR Cobi Hamilton at 55, and DE Datone Jones at 89. But what's interesting is Ziggy Ansah at 32, among other picks (Dion Jordan 22, Sheldon Richardson 24, Alec Ogletree 29, Jonathan Cooper 33, Matt Elam 37, Barrett Jones 40ish, among others).
My preference, as of right now (assuming the Pats win the SB - no reason to lower expectations):
1. Ignore DB in the draft on day 1 and 2. Re-sign Talib, keep McCourty at FS. Possibly add a FA CB or S
2. Sign UFA DT Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey went on IR this year with a foot injury after 7 tackles, so his stock is down. He was out of place as a 3-4 DE. He may never live up to his top draft selection, but he should come cheaply and will give us the internal pass rusher we've lacked since Mike Wright.
3. Round 1(32): Ziggy Ansah, DE, BYU (32). Jonathan Cooper is tempting, but I want a stud opposite Chandler Jones. Add in Dorsey, and we should see more effect pressure inside and from both edges in 2014.
4. Round 2(62): Interior OL. Pats can choose between Larry Warford (62), Travis Frederick (65), or Khaled Holmes (66). I probably pick Frederick because of versatility and smarts, but I'm happy with any. Alternatively, if the Pats take Cooper or Jones at 32, Margus Hunt (61) could be an alternative to Ansah at LDE.
5. Round 3(94): Steadman Bailey, WR, West Virginia (94).
Add in some re-signings, and I'd be pretty happy with that in the next 6 months.
