Wednesday Practice Report: Taylor out (foot)

That's my order as well. 1)Elite pass rusher 2)OT replace Light 3) OG/C maybe not if we resign Mankins 4)RB a big bruiser.
I think G/C is a much bigger priority at this point. We already have Vollmer to take over for Light after he retires, but I don't think that will be for a another couple of years. Light's still a solid LT. We also have Kaczur as a backup.

What we need are prospects on the interior. We have no serious contenders for a starting job other than Connolly. Even with Mankins, we need a replacement for Stephen Neal/Dan Koppen, especially Koppen who is starting to lose it. Without Mankins, our interior OL looks old, fairly weak, and injury prone. Wendell is a backup. Connolly is solid but only fills 1 out of 3 spots.

If we believe that one of the elite corners available can become a lock down corner I think that's where we have to go with our first pick.

Really the Patriots will go with the player they feel is the best (almost) regardless of position.

Why would they go CB in the first round when they have Bodden coming back next year?
 
Clayton signed to roster....that's BB's answer to the RB shortage.....
