Holyredeemer - Please go back and read my post again and show me where I said that the Patriots didn't need to address the position of LB in the draft?
OK, now that you have done that and seen that I said NO SUCH THING, what is your point?
Fact is that the Patriots have McGinest, Vrabel, Bruschi, Colvin as their starting LBs. The Patriots also have Izzo, Davis, Claridge, C. Brown, TBC, and Beisel. I have not been impressed with Izzo or TBC for the last 2 years. Also, C. Brown really didn't impress me either. Claridge is an unknown, but he's got a year under his belt of reviewing tape and working int he Pats strength and conditioning program. He's a kid that people think can be a better Ted Johnson.
Do I think that the Pats will draft an OLB? Yes. I do. In fact, when many people were saying the Pats needed an ILB, I was saying OLB might be a better possibility. Could it be Manny Lawson? Yep. Could it be Kamerion Wimbley? Yep. Could it be Mathias Kiwanuka? Yep. OLB is a need and only the Patriots know who they want and where they want to draft that person.
