New England Patriots (Original Pick: Dont’a HIghtower, LB) Re-do Pick: Michael Brockers, DT. Hightower did fine as a rookie, but the Patriots lacked any semblance of pass rush from their defensive interior. Brockers was a beast in some games, and he’d give New England the disruptive thrust at defensive tackle that it’s probably looking for in the 2013 draft.

Ah yes, Brockers was the guy I wanted last year and for the reason Banks lays out. Hopefully we get someone like that this year…
