I would be surprised if the Patriots didn't use a pick from the top 3 rounds on the secondary. We've got some aging players there, getting a couple talented understudies in the secondary is probably on Bill's to-do list
We are pretty bad at drafting corners/safeties. The only one who we drafted and has stuck a long time is Devin McCourty (2010 draft). And Chung needed to explore other waters before returning and becoming good.
I'd say our success rate on secondary picks is probably around 1/3 or even 1/4? So many wasted 2nd rounders on undersized safeties and corners.
We have 12 draft picks however. So this is the year to try to get the draft 'right'. I'll be interested to see how BB approaches it.
More than likely we acquire at least one more player by trade. BB tends to do better with trades more so than with picks. Look at acquisitions like Van Noy, Revis, Talib, Cooks, Amendola, Welker, Moss etc. If anyone can find an undervalued bargain via trade, I trust BB to find that bargain.
