Patriots Mock Draft Again

I think I will look up who the Patriots are going to draft, and print it here.

=============================

So here it is:

22. New England Patriots
Jared Odrick, DE, Penn State
The Patriots need some DE help, and Odrick is a hard-worker. The PSU lineman can line up as a 5-technique or 3-technique, showing some versatility. Jared still gets after the QB while staying stout against the run.
Other options: WR, OL, TE

========================================

Here's another opinion:

1st Round
Walter: Jared Odrick
Daddy: Jared Odrick
King: Brandon Graham
Countdown: Jared Odrick
NE Patriots Draft: Jared Odrick

Analysis: Jared Odrick, DL from Penn State, is certainly the chalk pick for the Patriots at this point. A penetrating defender with the ability to play the 5-tech and size to boot will be hard for Belichick to pass up.

2nd Round
Walter: Roger Saffold, Tim Tebow, Aaron Hernandez
Daddy: No selections
King: No selections
Countdown: Jermaine Gresham, Ricky Sapp, Mardy Gilyard
NE Patriots Draft: Aaron Hernandez, Demaryius Thomas, Ricky Sapp

Analysis: Draft Countdown and I certainly agree that TE/WR/OLB are positions that could use an upgrade. Gresham and Gilyard versus Thomas and Hernandez would be a great debate -- the latter having a higher ceiling, with the former having a higher floor. While we like the versatility that Saffold would bring to the OL, we're not in the Tebow camp quite yet.
