re: Win, FAIL, or Meh? USA Today Draft special: Nick Perry, S Hill, A Dennard, L James
I'd be fine with Nick Perry...more than fine. This guy is the real deal and answer to the Patriots pass rush woes.
Hill I've been on record a lot as saying I just don't rate him because of the system he's been in. I would take this guy if he fell into our laps late second round and Belichick felt he interviewed well enough. At the same time however I think you could pick up a now healthy Greg Childs in the late rounds (a second round prospect at least without the injury) and get more out of him. The class is deep so a first round WR might not make any sense. However, if he's smart enough, he'll be the best WR to come out of the draft since potentially Randy Moss IMO...you just don't know! He could be the best prospect in years on his measurables...I just question his knowledge.
Dennard I love. He's a CB/Safety. CB is a slight need...I've been talking a while about bringing in someone like Trumaine Johnson or Alfonzo Dennard because, in a hybrid which needs quick, bulky players who can move around on the field, these guys have potential to play a little FS. I don't rate the ability of many of the Safeties in the draft to be an effective FS so I could live with a CB convert. Especially if it was one of these guys.
A RB will be selected in either rounds two or three. The sooner you come to face it the better. The Pats have some interest in some of the top prospects this year including Martin and Pead. Martin is down as an official visit as well...which suggests there's enough interest there if the board falls a certain way and one of those guys become available.
