Welp, I said earlier today that the Pats could take a DB early today and that’s just what they did. And yes I had both Solder and Dowling on my Patriots only mock, granted much lower.
Dowling is another great value pick, before having an injury plagued 2010 he was the top corner on many draft boards. So I’m sure some Pats fans are beating their heads against the wall right now, but it’s exactly the kind of pick the Pats make. Still plenty of picks to address OLB and interior offensive line.

The Patriots had a lot of conversations with teams about moving up in the draft but it didn’t pan out. It’s not known who they were targeting, though Missouri LB Aldon Smith was high on their board and would have been a consideration but he went higher (7th to 49ers) than most imagined.

Yesterday’s consensus target of Patriots Nation was Cam Jordan and the Pats juts weren’t that into him. Today it’s gotta be Jabaal Sheard, who is sure to get the pass rush clamorers excited.
Sheard has long been a favorite target of ours, but I don’t think it’s necessarily going to be an OLB here in the early part of the second round. But I’d bet Sheard is gone by 40.
