Some names/values that caught my eye:

Blair White - Higher than the general consensus
Damian Williams, McCluster, LaFell - Lower
Scott Sicko - Mid 4?!? I like him too, but...
Bradford & Clausen - Late 4? Are they really that bad? See Edit
Bulaga - L3/E4 because of his questionable lateral movement?
JPP - Is it his inexperience that drops him to the mid 4th?
DT Dan Williams in the 6th round? Why? See Edit
AJ Edds & Danny Batten: ILBs in a 4-3 or a 3-4, or both? I still see Edds as more of a 4-3 OLB, and Batten as a 3-4 OLB.
Iupati - Late 4 because of his sluggigh legs? If so, then why is Saffold there, too? See Edit
Oghobaase & Geathers, and their lack of self-motivation, ahead of their antithesis Alualu?
And where would you rank C Eric Olsen from ND?

Edit: After reading your Horizontal thread, I am now beginning to understand why you have some players listed in certain rounds: it's not quite as much according to overall talent as it is according to Patriots current needs and the round at which their value exceeds our general lack of need at those positions, e.g., QBs, OGs, NTs & to a lesser degree CBs.
