With all the hand wringing over DBs I went to the Pats website to see who was on our roster at these two positions.
http://www.patriots.com/depthchart.cfm
These are the linebackers CURRENTLY on the roster
Mike Vrabel
Pierre Woods
Eric Alexander
Tedy Bruschi
Larry Izzo
Adalius Thomas
T.J. Slaughter
You've got to be kidding me. Who are our Inside linebackers? Teddy Bruschi and who? WE NEED LINEBACKERS!
These are the DBs currently on our roster
Fernando Bryant
Jason Webster
Lewis Sanders
Mike Richardson
TIm Mixon
Ellis Hobbs
Brandon Meriweather
Antwain Spann
Rodney Harrison
Willie Andrews
Tank Williams
Ray Ventrone
James Sanders
Yep, no "SEXY" names but there is a lot more depth and flexibility at that position than at Linebacker.
If we stay at #7 I want the BEST LINEBACKER available. I wouldn't mind if we drafted one in the
2nd or 3rd rounds too. Yes, we don't have a #1 corner and yes it is a need, but we have flexibility in our secondary. Take a look at that Linebacker list and tell me that we don't need Linebackers on this team. THIS IS OUR TOP NEED IN THE DRAFT, IMO. Our depth at Linebacker is FRIGHTENING. If BB/Pioli don't draft at least one linebacker on day one of the draft, I will be STUNNED.
This is what I want to see on draft day
Linebacker (at least 2)
Corner (1 or 2)
after that I wouldn't mind a player at the following positions:
Offensive Tackle (Super Bowl performance still haunts me)
Tightend (Blocking)
Running Back (Faulk isn't getting any younger)
and a damn PUNTER WHO CAN PUNT!! HANSON IS NOT THE ANSWER
