Will you follow Oakland and Carolina now...

[furley]

If Oakland finishes that badly next season. Great. Who knows... I think they could but they might not.

In my opinion, the theme for New England in the first round, assuming that Belichick doesn't trade down, is to go Alabama.

That is, I select teammates: Julio Jones and Mark Ingram.

5. New England Patriots (via Raiders)
A.J. Green, WR, Georgia*

The Pats will need more offensive playmakers with Randy Moss turning 34 in 2011. Green is Calvin Johnson-light, which is still pretty good.

21. New England Patriots
Greg Romeus, DE, Pitt

Romeus was a basketball player who didn't pick up the sport until his senior year of high school. If he reaches double digits in sacks this season, he should be a first-rounder.
