As a draftnik I enjoy guessing what the Patriots strategywill be,but with this many underclassmen it might actually help them draft a gem. MBellieu what do you think? Texas Pat,bredbu all you draft guys what does this do to the draft?
75 underclassmen have declared themselves eligible for the 2013 draft,what does this mean for the Patriots?

All depends. These numbers are not dramatically higher than past years. Depends how many of these 75 are actual players.

Jesse Williams is my guy. Great size, one of if not the strongest players in the draft, very tough to move at the POA, can eat the double, good athlete/quicks for his size and moves pretty well laterally... I also like that he's proven against SEC competition and as an interior player in Saban's BB style defense. -

The Pats haul for new blood next season may have to be more through free agency than the draft when they only have 1 late first, 1 second, one third and 2 seventh round picks. Unless BB and company come up with a spectacular feat of hitting most of the 5 chances.

The Pats are a young team, potentially a game away from the Super Bowl. If they hit on 2 picks, it will be a great draft.
