Patriots 3 Round 2007 NFL Mock Draft Version 2
1st Round, 24th Overall: Ted Ginn Jr. WR, Ohio State
Ginn Probably won’t fall this far in the draft, but if he does, this is a must pick for the Pats. Ginn was amazing during the combine, and as I said before, he really is a Patriots kind of guy.
Other Possibilities: Dwayne Bowe, WR; Robert Meachem, WR; Anthony Gonzalez, WR
1st Round, 28th Overall: Paul Posluszny LB Penn State
Another LB? Yes, Posluszny is a great fit for the 3-4 defense. The man is a monster, and he’s versatile. He’s listed as an OLB, but can play inside in a 3-4. With Bruschi contemplating retirement, this is a solid pick.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES: Leon Hall CB, Michigan (Great shutdown corner, and Asante may be gone after next year).
3rth Round, 92nd Overall: Fred Bennett CB, South Carolina
Bennett is a solid corner, and is projected 2nd – 3rd round. He played some of the nation’s top wideouts last year, and faired pretty well.

-Not a must pick. Ginn hurt himself during a celebration. He is not polished, I don’t think he’ll ever be a true #1 receiver. He could use another year in the NCAA and we already have the same type of player aka Chad Jackson. Also, he didn’t participate in the combine cause he was still “nursing” his hamstring. Pats will obviously address this pick with the best talent availabe. And if they were to take a WR it would be the other Ohio St WR Gonzolez. He’s more polished and a much better fit for the Pats.

-He is not a great fit. He is undersized for a 3-4 and is not an outside linebacker in the NFL. He’s going to be a middle LB probably for the Bears or the Colts. I’m from PSU so I know what he’s capable of and don’t get me wrong I LOVE POZ. He lost some spead after his knee blew out and still doesn’t have the coverage skills to match up with the quicker TE’s. A better pick would be the LB’s from Ole Miss. Either one. THEY are monsters.
Michael Griffin’s draft stock has been falling recently, but nevertheless, he is still a great player. With Rodney Harrison aging, he could be groomed to move into his spot. The Patriots will likely have to move up to get Griffin here, he likely won’t fall this far.
-dude, I know we already have an offer sheet for Welker, but seriously??? you think he could even fall down to the 2nd round 60th pick? Pencil in Gonzalez here if we don’t get Wes Welker
