February 16, 2012 by Mike Dussault

I’m less of a snapshot guy than I am a composite guy. They have two picks in the first round, what a surprise (tongue in cheek). Bill is a master at letting the board come to him, so I don’t even think Bill will know really until that last week prior to the draft what specific players he’s interested in. But the way I look at it is it’s got to be all about defense. You’re sitting there with two picks, with the ability to move up, down, or stay at 27 and 31. In a league where it’s a pass-first league; I was kind of happy to see the return of defense in the playoffs and the Super Bowl, but let’s be honest about it, there are a lot of teams, including the Patriots, that want a track meet every week, which means you have to rush the quarterback and you have to defend on the back end. I think those are the two areas of need that kind of cry out for some help in the draft for the Patriots.
