2013 NFL Draft - Top 10 Sleepers

1. Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia - Bailey is a terrific route runner and reads coverages well. He has great hands and makes some amazing catches. He lacks elite speed but is quick, especially off the snap. He is also on the shorter side at 5'10". (Projected 3rd Round Selection)

2. Corey Lemonier, OLB, Auburn - Lemonier is a terrific pass rusher. He needs to add some strength to improve his run defense but he can sure get after the QB. He could play some DE but it likely an OLB at the next level. (Projected 3rd Round Selection)

3. John Simon, DE, Ohio State - Simon has a great work ethic and is a tremendous leader on and off the football field. He is a solid pass rusher and is very versatile, he can lineup at DE or OLB. (Projected 3rd-4th Round Selection)

4. Kiko Alonso, LB, Oregon - Kiko has some red flags but he is an incredible athlete. He can play every LB position, inside or outside. He is excellent in coverage. (Projected 3rd Round Selection)

5. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State - Thomas is a physical safety with excellent coverage skills. He lead the country in Interceptions last season. In a good safety draft class, Thomas has been over shadowed but he is as good as any safety in this class. (Projected 2nd-3rd Round Selection)

6. David Quessenberry, OL, San Jose State - Quessenberry had a great showing at the combine. He's a very good athlete and an exceptional pass protector. He started every game at left tackle for the last 3 seasons. He could play tackle or guard in the NFL. He played against small school competition which is one of his big question mark. (Projected 4th Round Selection)

7. Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State - The other corner from Mississippi State. Slay is an athletic corner who recognizes routes well. He only started in his senior year so he's a bit inexperienced but has great potential. (Projected 2nd-3rd Round Selection)

8. Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina - Bernard is a strong back. He lacks off the charts speed but makes solid cuts to free himself up. He's a smart player who has terrific vision. Gio also shows good leadership skills on and off the field. (Projected 2nd-3rd Round Selection)

9. Matt Scott, QB, Arizona - Scott is a dual threat at quarterback. He can make all the throws and is very accurate. He did not play in a pro style offense at Arizona and will need some time to develop in the NFL. (Projected 4th-5th Round Selection)

10. Jake Stoneburner, TE, Ohio State - Stoneburner is a good receiving tight end. He doesn't have great speed but is quick and can get open. Not a great blocker but in this day and age he can make it in this league as a receiving tight end. (Projected 6th Round Selection)

Patriots Mock Draft

Round 1 29. Robert Woods, WR, USC - I've been saying Woods will be this pick for weeks. It seems like the Patriots really like this kid. He is a smart receiver coming from a sophisticated offense at USC. Polished route runner with great hands. He's a playmaker and will start from day 1 with the Patriots. Round 2 59. Alex Okafor, DE, Texas - Okafor was one of the best pass rushers in college football last year recording 12.5. He is very athletic and can get after the QB but he is also solid against the run. He even moved inside and played a little DT at Texas. He is expeted to be a left DE in the NFL which would be perfect opposite Chandler Jones. Round 3 91. Tyrann Mathieu, CB/S, LSU - A lot of baggage comes with Mathieu but the Patriots seem very interested. He has met with Patriots multiple times. Belichick has no problem taking pot guys who slip. He is a playmaker on the field. He is versatile and has a swagger the Patriots Defense could use. Round 7 226. Jos...

Patriots Free Agent Targets

     Here's my List of the Top 10 Players I would like to see the Patriots Target this Offseason. I am not including their own Free Agents in the List but I will tell you which of their own Players I would Like to see retained. 1. CB Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee - One of the Most Physical Defensive Backs in the NFL. It's no secret the Patriots need help in the secondary and Finnegan would be a Huge Addition. He can shutdown any teams #1 WR. In my opinion he is one of the Best CB in the NFL. 2. WR Marquise Colston, New Orleans - It's clear the Patriots need a Deep Threat at WR to open up this Offense and in my opinion Colston is the Best on the Market. He is also 6'4" and physical. An ideal WR that Tom Brady needs. 3. WR Brandon Lloyd, St. Louis - Probably the Best Fit at WR for the Patriots. Lloyd has had previous success in Josh McDaniels' system. A speedster who will help stretch the field for the Patriots Offense. 4. WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis - V...
