“Any time you can add veteran guys on your club that want to win, and know how to win, it’s always a plus,” Wilfork said. “Tommy coming from Oakland, you could just tell he loved to compete. He wanted to win. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen a lot out there in Oakland. But as an athlete, looking at another athlete, with the type of motor he has, the way he played, how he go about his business, you can tell he’s hungry still. “It puts us in a better situation. It’s going to be a privilege to play alongside him. It’s going to give us a good rotation and good depth on our defensive line . . . as long as we stay healthy, we have a good chance of being competitive.”

Yeah, you wanted action in the first round. But the truth is, most drafts don’t have 32 players with first-round grades. And this one was worse than most. I mean, six offensive linemen in the first 11 selections? And Florida State’s E.J. Manuel, who is a bit of a project, the only quarterback taken, with the 16th pick by the Bills? That just tells you what kind of stinker the first round was. So why would you take a player in the first round that is, at best, worth a second-round pick? It doesn’t matter where you pick. It matters if you get good players. Let’s see if the Patriots get good players. There are definitely talented players left that can help the Patriots

Every Patriots fan/analyst seems to focus on receivers and corners but I have a good feeling the Patriots’ first pick today will be Johnathan Hankins from Ohio State. Probably in a trade up in the 43-47 range from 52.

I’m all for that, I actually have him in my new mock draft that I just did at Bleacher Report earlier this morning. I liked Datone Jones’ pass rush a little better, but Hankins has good versatility and would bring a lot to the table inside and at defensive end. I think he’s effectively a Brandon Deaderick upgrade.
