I think the FO maybe targeting Gholston if he's (1 Viewer)

[Pocket Hercules]

The Patriots have already had success drafting an Ohio State defensive end and converting him to a Pro-Bowl calibre linebacker - Mike Vrabel played DE in college.

If Gholston is there at pick #7 consider him gone.

Leodis Macelvin is our pick,mark it down.

IF he is there, take him. He's a physical specimen with drive. He'll be a great find. Try him in several different places (OLB, DE, etc) and see where we can fit him. If it's DE, consider that we can either franchise and trade Smith, or trade Grant, or just rotate them. Pressure on the QB is huge, and that would definitely work. If he fits in OLB, then we have a dominating LB core (assuming Vilma and Fujita play up to what we expect)

i don't think he'll be there, but he'd certainly be in the mix for BPA if he was

why does everyone want to get rid of Will Smith again?

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

it would make Will SMith tradeable this year for someone like Chad Johnson...

I really like the way you think lus-un2:lus-un2:

 

[SleeperSaint]

He will be gone long befoe the 10th pick.

Exactly right, brother. Wish he would be there, what a beast

 

[Wheelo]

why does everyone want to get rid of Will Smith again?

Just saying he is very expandable if we get another DE, expandable because teams would want to trade for him.

Dude - drafting Gholston would set us up perfectly for the 5-2 defense!

Pretty sure that was the Steelers, Pats brought him in as a FA, But he was drafted and developed in Pittsburgh (pretty sure on that) Tho he is flourishing in NE.



I think Vernon Gholston will go number 1 to Miami, but if he was to fall to 10, I would hope the FO would grab him. There isn't a huge need there, but injuries happen, needs change evey year it seems you never know what the future holds, so BPA would be Gholston and it would be a fine pick up.


Oh and fo the other poster, Yes Gholston would drop into coverage, he played some LBer so the conversion is there for 3 - 4 teams. I don't know how he looks on a slot WR but I have seen him cover TE's and RB's out of the backfield.

He will be gone long befoe the 10th pick.

Ahh................Yeah.
