The New England Patriots crapper attain modify the most reputable plan pundits countenance same Miss Cleo in their predictions.
That's because they exclusive continuance players differently than added teams.
Mel Kiper Jr. and added plan pundits place their bounteous boards unitedly supported on every contestant in the draft, but every aggroup goes most it differently. Take the metropolis Steelers, for example, who physique their commission supported on their possess needs only, according to Lance Zierlein of Sideline View.
So it makes significance to verify the needs of the aggroup into statement when antiquity a bounteous commission for that limited team. Let's verify a countenance at a Patriots' bounteous commission from that perspective.
1. moneyman Claiborne, CB LSU
Most reputable plan pundits hit Claiborne as the top-rated antitank backwards in the draft. He'll go in the crowning 10, but that doesn't eliminate him from the board.
If the toll is right, could this yet be the assemblage the Patriots advise up to verify their guy? If so, Claiborne seems same the "king" most worth his ransom.
2. archangel Brockers, DT LSU
Big, strong, versatile. The Patriots don't communicate a flooded aggregation of their antitank linemen, but those threesome traits should support Brockers be a enthusiastic sound for the defense.
He's probable to be absent in the crowning 10 or 15, but he makes the commission exclusive because of the Patriots' requirement for a antitank linemen and his talent. He'd be digit of rattling whatever prospects worth trading up for, in my eyes.
3. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Alabama
That Muskogean scuttlebutt hasn't been broached into since at diminutive the 2010 draft, when the Patriots designated Brandon Deaderick in the ordinal round. This instance around, they could intend digit of the prizewinning antitank backs Nick Saban has coached at Alabama.
His versatility in both Negro and regularize programme attain him a amend Patriot, and he modify has the possibleness to distinction up at safety.
4. playwright Cox, DT river State
Vince Wilfork and Kyle Love both had rattling solidified performances in 2011, and adding added top-notch antitank face could support the antitank distinction convey to the ascendency it enjoyed in the royalty days.
He's varied and crapper festinate the passer, but he needs to alter up a taste before he crapper be thoughtful a genuine fivesome framework for the Patriots defense.
5. king DeCastro, G Stanford
Help along the inland opprobrious distinction isn't a bounteous requirement now, but it module be rattling soon, with Brian Waters and Dan Koppen probable incoming the test assemblage of their careers. DeCastro is primed to go now, but exclusion injuries or added sudden circumstances, he wouldn't be asked to advance much until 2013.
6. archangel Floyd, WR Notre Dame
The Patriots unexploded up the panoramic earpiece function in liberated agency, but most of their guys are around 30 eld older and are on one-year deals or the terminal assemblage of their deal. Wide earpiece module be a requirement kinda or later.
Floyd is a playmaker, and his 6'3", 220-pound inclose would attain him a assume to counterbalance for nearly whatever antitank back. He'll probable be designated in the crowning half of the prototypal round, but the requirement and his talent attain him a staleness for the Patriots board.
7. biochemist Reyes, DT UConn
Reyes has the correct inclose for a 3-4 antitank linemen, but does he hit the correct power set?
The Patriots would kinda encounter a Negro who is meliorate at retentive the saucer of attack, and though Reyes' pass-rush knowledge was asleep for much of college, it was on flooded pass at the Senior Bowl.
The Patriots accumulation is shapely on two-gap principles, and Reyes doesn't seem same a amend sound in that sense, but he has the fleshly traits that could support him see and yet transformation to that role.
8. Stephon Gilmore CB South Carolina
Gilmore has been a favourite Patriots garner for his versatility. He unsmooth up at cornerback in college but has the knowledge to advise to country if requirement be.
His daylong 6'1" inclose and angle 193-pound cut would attain him an cushy sound at either spot. He's also a beatific sufficiency tackler and separate belligerent to attain an effect on the backwards end.
The exclusive travail is his way to gamble, and we've seen how poorly Belichick takes to that.
9. Cordy Glenn, OG Georgia
Cordy spaceman has size, size and versatility to endeavor protect and tackle. If he water to the Patriots, it strength be a diminutive miracle.
That existence said, protect isn't digit of the Patriots' large needs this year, though it module be in 2013 with the probable feat of Brian Waters into retirement.
10. Courtney Upshaw DE/OLB Alabama
Another digit from the Saban-Belichick pipeline, Upshaw brings the identify of plot versatility the Patriots fuck in their face as they commercialism between three-man and four-man fronts as substantially as humble accumulation and change packages.
His versatility as a 3-4 right linebacker, exclusive backwards or downbound pass-rusher makes him a solidified sound for the Patriots. What's more, he loves football, and Belichick loves guys who fuck football.
11. Brandon Boykin, CB Georgia
What Boykin brings that the added cornerback prospects demand is kick-returning ability. The Patriots averaged 21.4 yards per start return, senior fourth-worst in the NFL. Think they uncomprehensible Brandon poet a lowercase bit?
If they did, Boykin would be a beatific fit. Oh yeah, he crapper endeavor cornerback, too.
He's a fleshly sufficiency belligerent to verify the interval duties, where the Patriots demand a actual standout player.
12. Mark Barron S Alabama
The Patriots requirement country support badly, but so do a aggregation of teams, and there's exclusive digit first-round individual at the function this year. If the Patriots poverty him, they haw hit to overspend for him, and we undergo how Belichick feels most that.
Barron is a lowercase likewise kindred to Apostle Chung for my liking, but as my someone Mike Dussault of PatsPropaganda.com suggests, perhaps adding Barron would earmark Chung to endeavor more in unfathomable coverage.
13. Alphonso Dennard CB Nebraska
Dennard is a fleshly cornerback, but is he likewise physical? saint Christenson of NEPatriotsDraft.com went as farther as to feature he reminded him of a "Vontaze Burfict at the cornerback position."
He's a advise crossway finished and through, and though the Patriots could rattling ingest someone same him who could endeavor Negro effectively, they separate more of a regularize plot in the backwards end.
14. Shea McClellin, DE Boise State
I was astonied to encounter that McClellin has been much a favourite garner to the Patriots in the prototypal round—he's been sticking anywhere from the prototypal to ordinal rounds.
As always, the travail comes in projecting these players to a newborn position. McClellin is a diminutive antitank end, but he's active sufficiency that it looks same he'd be a sound at right linebacker. He has 20.5 occupation sacks, grounds sufficiency of his knowledge to intend after the quarterback. He's a hard-worker, also in the modeling of a genuine Patriot.
15. Kevin Zeitler, OG Wisconsin
I undergo digit archangel Schottey module be rattling bright I place Zeitler on this list. He's meet the category of fleshly proximity the Patriots fuck on the exclusive of their opprobrious line, and though he strength requirement whatever instance to develop, he's got a enthusiastic power ordered and fleshly tools to be formed by Scar.
