Patriots Draft Needs
Urgent: Send out an S.O.S., the Patriots must draft an inside linebacker to pair next to Jerod Mayo.
Strong: The Patriots have a strong need for a starting corner next to Ellis Hobbs and a safety to pair opposite Brandon Meriweather.
Moderate: A left offensive tackle and a wide receiver to be groomed for the future are also needed.
Nice to Have: Depth at corner, linebacker, and interior offensive line would be nice.
Wild Card: How healthy will quarterback Tom Brady and all the others injured during 2008 be during 2009?
