Fifteen Thoughts on the First Round of the 2013 NFL Draft | NEPatriotsDraft.com – 2013 NFL Draft

Mike Loyko’s day two picks:

52) Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech – The Patriots may try to trade back up to pick up a guy like Robert Woods or Justin Hunter at the top of the round. If they stay where they are I think Patton is the logical choice, followed by Markus Wheaton. Other possibilities are Da’Rick Rogers, Terrance Williams and Stedman Bailey.

59) Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama – I was recently told the Patriots still want a “plugger” in the middle of their defensive line. At this point in the draft two names would be in play Kawann Short and Williams.

83) Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU – Picking up extra picks allows the Patriots to take some chances. The Honey Badger is a much needed play-maker in the secondary. I have heard there is real interest here.

89) Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall – Whether it’s Dobson or someone else the Patriots have the ability to double-dip at a position of major need. Getting Patton and Dobson will add youth and explosiveness to the receiver corps.
