Early draft looks

With the senior bowl coming up and the NFL combine just a month away. What will the Patriots be looking for in the draft? To me they need to go defense. I'd love to see them trade up to Jacksonville's spot at 11 and grab Rolondo McClain if he is still on the boards. The inside Linebacker out of Alabama In my opinion is top 5 talent. If they elect to stay I think players like Eric Norwood(South Carolina), Sergio Kindle, Joe Pawelek(Baylor) are guys they should give looks. Norwood and Pawelek are guys who have been extremely successful in their college careers. Both were stand out from freshman year on. I believe if both have solid combines and pro days they will end up in the first round. Kindle was a Defensive end at Texas. He will have to be a linebacker in the 3-4. But gives them the option of a speed rusher on third downs as a lineman. If the right wide receiver was available it could be an intriguing move for the Pats. With Moss not getting any younger and Welker out with a knee injury, Brady will need some weapons. A guy like Golden Tate or Arrelious Benn could be a nice addition. Benn is a bigger receiver at 6'2 220 with all the talent in the world. He didn't have super star number because of Illinois inconsistent quarterback play. Benn is also a good returner on special teams. Golden Tate is a tremendous play maker. He is very quick with exceptional hands. He would be a nice complement on the other side of Moss. The pats need a runningback under 30 not named Maroney. If they elect to move down the boards, Georgia Tech's Jonathon Dwyer is a guy that could find himself late first early second round. He reminds me a lot of the Dolphins Ronnie Brown. He has good size at 6'0 230 lbs. Dwyer has solid speed, however is not a home run threat. Another Back that really intrigues me is Keith Toston from Oklahoma State. Toston is a complete back who can run, catch and block. he has good size at 6'0 214 lbs. He could be a great find in the second round. I am not a C.J. Spiller guy. He only totaled 4 games over 100 yards this season and his average yards per game was in the 80's. I don't believe he is worth a first round pick. He is not a guy that will be able to handle 20 carries a game. Ben Tate out of Auburn is another back who could really help himself in the coming months. Tate is another bigger back at 5'11 218 lbs. He can run 4.40 40, but is a between the tackles downhill runner. I will have my early mock draft out soon after the combine.
