Here are my top 10 players I would like to see the Patriots draft with their first round pick, #29 overall.
1. Robert Woods, WR, USC - To me Woods might be the best all around WR in this Draft. He is smart, physical and fast. He is a polished route runner. He has great vision and is dynamic in open space. He has great hands and makes all the catches. He played under Lane Kiffin in a pro style offense at USC. Obviously WR is a big need for the Patriots and Woods is the player I want.
2. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson - Hopkins is a strong physical WR. He makes some tremendous catches. He was super productive at Clemson. He will be a great outside WR in this league.
3. Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington - The Patriots could obviously use some help in the secondary. I like Trufant a lot, he's a hard worker and an intense competitor. He's got football in his blood. He's an athletic and physical corner, solid all around. Really good in run support. I actually like him as much as projected top 15 pick Dee Milliner.
4. Datone Jones, DE, UCLA - Jones is a complete DE. He can stop the run and is a solid pass rusher. He is tough and has a mean streak. He is versatile and can move inside to DT as well. Great effort and work ethic. Patriots need an upgrade opposite Chandler Jones at left DE.
5. Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama - Big, Strong, and Athletic Lineman who can play both DT and DE. Williams is a nasty physical player. He is great against the run and is a decent pass rusher as well.
6. Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia - Draft stock is slipping due to his recent DUI. Very athletic LB. He can play inside and outside. He is a good coverage LB which the Patriots could use. He will struggle against the run in the NFL, he needs to add some bulk. In my opinion he would be a steal at #29.
7. Matt Elam, S, Florida - Playmaking, hard hitting safety. Great tackler. Belichick loves Florida players and the Patriots need a long term Safety next to McCourty.
8. Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State - Another solid corner in this Draft. He is a physical corner but has good speed too. He has good instincts and awareness. He fits the type of defense the Patriots run.
9. Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State - Werner's stock has dropped during the Draft process but he was a projected top 10 pick following the season. His film is impressive. He could be a steal at #29. He is a great pass rusher but needs to improve against the run.
10. DJ Hayden, CB, Houston - Hayden is rising fast. He's considered by some as the top CB in this class. He has elite speed and breaks on the ball well. Very athletic. He's dealt with some health issues with his heart in the past but seems healthy now. His potential is extremely high.
