Putting together my Patriots Big Board: Defensive Tackle

[midwestpatsfan]

We are getting closer to the draft and closer to me finishing my Big Board series.

Let me hear your thoughts.

I am curious why there is not any mention of Xavier Cooper?

I like Joey Mbu for mid round value

Cooper is another one of those smaller DT's that are in the same mold as Easley. I know I have some of those same type of guys on my list, but they had to wow me to make the list early or represent value later for me to include them. Cooper didn't do either of those. Don't get me wrong, I liked the player, but I felt like I could get players with similar skillsets and nfl readiness later in the draft, so I left him off.

If Bennett, Cooper, Davis, Hardison & Jarrett are all gone by 96, then I don't think I'll look for a DT
until 177, where Lott might still be hanging around. I'm definitely not looking at DTs at 32, and
probably not at 64. I don't feel that value meets need there.
