Breaking: Patriots trade up and select Chandler Jones 21st overall

Well there’s two ways to look at this. One is the way that all us amateur draftniks who weren’t blown away by Jones, or there’s the Mike Mayock way, who said that he thinks in a couple years Jones will be the best defensive player from this draft class.

Jones will be used in a variety of ways, using his great size and athleticism to make an impact on the defensive side of the ball that is much needed.

Let’s just go with what Mayock said and allow ourselves to get really, really excited. The Patriots just traded UP and took a pass rusher! Wow.

We’ve re-signed some players from last year. We’ve added some players in free agency over the last month. So I think we have a pretty competitive team, and we’ll just have to see what happens tonight and see where we can add players to us that we feel will be the best both short- and long-term additions to our football team.

Devin McCourty, according to league sources, is expected to be paired with Patrick Chung at safety. The Patriots wanted LaRon Landry, but were scared off by his medicals. Gregory and Josh Barrett provide good depth. Moving McCourty does leave the Patriots thin at cornerback, but not desperately. Ras-I Dowling and Kyle Arrington are the starters, and veteran Will Allen and Sterling Moore will be in the mix. The Patriots will be looking for corners who can play man coverage and could take one early in Trumaine Johnson of Montana, despite some character concerns.

Interesting report from Greg Bedard on McCourty staying at safety. I thought they’d at least start him back at cornerback, but this makes it sound like he’ll be going back there full time.
