Draft Day

 My favorite time of the year is upon us New England fans.  The couple of days in which we put our faith in the master mind himself to bring us back to the promised land.  The NFL Draft is three days dedicated towards the future and for New England this year, the defense is still a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Richard Seymour was thoroughly missed this past season, and probably could have been a difference on the defensive side possibly leading to a Super Bowl.

The Patriots defiantly need to address a couple certain positions, but the most important positions that the team needs to address is the offensive line and the defensive line/pass rushing end.  Cameron Jordan of Cal, is a name that I have seen in many drafts and he certainly seems like a good fit to jump right in and compete with already establish linemen Ty Warren and Mike Wright.  Of course, we have 6 picks in the first three rounds so there will be plenty of opportunities to grab a pass rushing end or linebacker such as Brooks Reed from Arizona or a bookend offensive tackle or guard.  Nate Solder, Gabe Carimi, and Anthony Castonzo are options for the Patriots to take at either first round pick.

With a veteran offensive line and a injury prone defensive line, look for the Pats to grab some help up front on both sides of the ball.  Also don't count out them getting some more options at corner because outside of Leigh Bodden and Devin McCourty, they really don't have a reliable corner to step in or play in the nickel. Lastly, running back and a wide reciever that can stretch the field are also positions that could use some extra depth.Check out WalterFootball to see his Mock Draft.
