10 possible Pats: Michael Brockers – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

Brockers is my favorite defensive lineman but it would take a minor miracle for the Pats to get into position to nab him. If he lasts past 12 I’d be surprised.

Brockers has the raw talent at what I believe is the greatest position of need on the Patriots roster. Outside of Wilfork there’s not a dominating player along the defensive line, Brockers could develop into just that.

“There’s a great deal to like about Brockers’ scheme versatility. At 6-5 and 322 pounds, he’s big and strong enough to line up at defensive tackle in a four-man front or nose tackle in a base three-man front and he’s even agile enough to play defensive end in the 3-4. He has the long arms (35 inches), upper-body strength and instincts to excel in a two-gap scheme in addition to the quickness and active hands to shine in a one-gap scheme.

From CBS Sports:

Irvin, who had 22.5 sacks his last two seasons for the Mountaineers, is regarded as a solid 3-4 end “rush” linebacker prospect, with some teams rating him as high as the second round. Irvin was particularly forthcoming about his background, which included him dropping out of high school and eventually earning a GED, and was one of the players most often mentioned after the combine as having had tremendous interview sessions. – Len Pasquarelli, The Sports Xchange
