Patriots mock draft 7.0: What if the Patriots don’t pick in the first round? – Extra Points – Boston.com

Solid new mock from Frenz, though I have to say I don’t really see it with Louis Nix. Once again, my mantra for drafting now, especially at the top of the draft is that if they’re not making an impact on passing downs (the Pats’ biggest weakness defensively) they’re not helping. Wilfork is a special player at his size. I’m not convinced Nix is anything more than a running down-only impact player. That’s not enough as I see it.
