NFL Draft Countdown

Count me among the people very excited about tomorrow's draft! Rumors abound that the Pats are trying to get into the top ten of the draft. Peter King believes the Pats are not going after LSU's Tyson Jackson, the obvious pick as he projects to be a 3-4 defensive end. Given that this is the Patriots we are talking about, I'm going to expect the unexpected. Michael Holley, one of the very few people who predicted that the Pats would take Jerod Mayo last year, thinks it could be Andre Smith if the Pats go into the top ten. Yet, I would still take that with a grain of salt. I just hope they get some much needed youth and athleticism on defense, especially at linebacker.
