2015 Draft

[BigKen]

It's only January 1st but the radioheads were talking about what the Patriots should do in the 2015 draft. Offensive line was a big topic as was running back. I went to find what the Patriots presently have for picks in 2015. 2 in the 4th no 5th and 2 in the 7th. Considering where the Patriots may actually end up, it looks like Bill will be trading down.

These are the 2015 NFL Draft Picks currently owned by the New England Patriots:
1st Round (Assigned)
2nd Round (Assigned)
3rd Round (Assigned)
4th Round (Assigned)
4th Round (Via TB – Logan Mankins)
6th Round (Via TB – Jonathan Casillas)
7th Round (Via TEN – Akeem Ayers)
7th Round (Via HOU) Ryan Mallett

No question in my mind that the offensive line has to be improved. Solder just can't block the speed rushers and leaves Brady alarmingly open to blind side hits. Connelly and Wendell are getting older and we know that Devey, Kline and Cannon just can't play against decent defensive linemen.

Here's hoping that the $24M Brady opened up will be used to resign Revis and McCourty.

Offensive line, first and foremost.
Defensive line second (If Revis is resigned.)
Running back is ok in my mind, but WR still has questions.

Oline please. This has been neglected for too long. The Pats were exposed in 2007 and they still haven't fixed it.

O-line, DE if we can't get one in FA and assuming Revis gets resigned, WR as much as I hate to say that since it seems like BB and company can't draft or coach up WRs.
Wouldn't mind seeing them try and get a proven WR thru FA as well.
I think Blount and Gray can handle the RB position. I don't know enough about White can he be a 3rd down back? Otherwise draft a pass catching back.
Use one pick on a hard hitting fast Safety.

Absolutely o-line has to be the top priority. Brady continues to take too many hits. D-line and receiver after that.

Remember they have Tyler Gaffney on IR so who knows what he will offer as a RB next season.
