Offensive Lineman in the NFL Draft

Pro Football Weekly notes that the Pats are intent on bolstering the offensive line in the upcoming draft (http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/Whispers/2009/wrapup041909.htm). Although they definitely have more immediate defensive needs that should be addressed in the first few rounds, the Pats could try and grab a few good offensive lineman in the mid to late-rounds of the draft. While the offensive line is pretty good right now, the age and contracts of the lineman raise some long-term concerns. Thus, expect to see the Pats draft a few OG/C's in the mid to late rounds and possibly a tackle in the early rounds if the value is there.
