Bequette said that he is ready to play whatever position he is asked. “I feel very comfortable at both [end and linebacker],’’ he said. “I guess that’s the stock answer, but it’s true. I played the 4-3 end mostly in college, but I also stood up a little at outside linebacker at the Senior Bowl and the Combine. The more I did it, the more it grew on me. I can’t wait to see what the coaches have in store for me.’’

Remember back in 2010 when all we talked about was how specialized the Patriots defense was? There wasn’t much diversity with their defensive personnel, instead it was entirely predictable what they were trying to do based on the guys who were on the field.

But with the additions of this past weekend it’s clear the Patriots are focused on making their defense one that can excel against the passing teams they’ve struggled with the past couple years.

Some will wonder what took them the last three drafts to figure this out, but hey, they just made an entire draft class almost entirely out of defensive backs and pass rushers so let’s not complain too much.

Now, the Patriots set off into an offseason of great expectations with a defense that can emerge like a chameleon when the season starts. No one knows what it will eventually look like. That’s likely the way it will go week to week during the season, especially when opponents try to game plan offensively. The Patriots have the potential to dictate the style of the game defensively with the scheme they choose. Usually that’s what the opposing offense does.

In Mayock’s estimation, the rich got richer, beginning with the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick’s reverse-philosophy to trade up to draft Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower in the first round. “I would start with the New England Patriots in the first round adding two of my favorite players in the entire draft to their front seven,” Mayock said. “So you’ve got the Super Bowl losing team improving what they needed to improve, and in a dramatic fashion.”
