Clearly DT is a need for the patriots. Brown and Shelton are free agents and if not resigned they would leave a big hole.
My top 5
1.) Oliver Houston - pure one gap dt, expected to be off the board early. Next to no chance to draft this talented kid.
2.) Davis Alabama - pure beast. Excellent in the two gap system. Probably off the board by the time the patriots pick. If not, he is a perfect fit for us.
3.) Lawrence Clemson - large man who commands double teams and stops the run. Again probably off the board before he gets to us, but would be a great addition to our defense.
4.) Simmons miss st. - a bit under sized. Not the greatest run stopper. Might need a red shirt year in order to start for us.
5.) Q Williams Alabama - two gapper with size strength and some pass rush skills. Power violent hands and decent run stopper. Probably not a first round talent, but fits our defense well.
