While cruising through the web seeing the reaction of various fans I stumbled upon a forum of Patriots fans talking (actually posting this is figure of speech). The conversation was about an interview that the Patriots coach Bill Belicheck did on the program Quick Slants Draft Special on CSN. The conversation was on how much of the draft board you could see of the Patriots in the background. One member of the forum used his DVR and wrote down the lists and the ranking next to them. The lists appear to be in order of rank in position and the rating are too help compare too other players.

Jordan - 8.494, Clayborn - 8.301, Watt - 8.243, Wilkerson - 8.176, Green - 8.782, Jones - 8.419
Then remove who was taken at 17.
Solder- 8.481, Carimi- 8.281, Costonzo - 8.067, Cameron Jordon- 8.494, Clayborn- 8.301, Wilkerson- 8.176.
Then in the interview Bill was saying that this is the "deepest D-line draft in recent memory" and with many more high value guys on the board remove them for either later in the first or #33.
You get; Solder- 8.481, Carimi- 8.281, Costonzo - 8. Hey didn't they take Solder at 17 coincidence I don't think so...
If this stays true than there highest guys left are; Ijalana - 7.811, T Smith - 7.978, Cobb - 7.936, Stocker - 7.327 or Randolph who is higher on board, Hudson - 7.642, Boling - 7.645, Silga is there next DT and LBs and DBs not present.
There highest then are Torey Smith and Randle Cobb both Wide receivers a position of need for the offense, throw in Akeem Ayers and Justin Houston though not shown and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those four is pick at #33 tomorrow. If this is right by tomorrow I will definitely geek out!!!
*Sorry for the post about the Patriot but I thought this was too interesting too pass up!*
