2011 NFL Draft: New England Patriots’ Outside Linebacker Prospects

February 8, 2011   ·   Erik Frenz   ·   Jump to comments

The New England Patriots are one of the most unpredictable teams come draft time, and the 2011 NFL Draft figures to be no different for Bill Belichick and his team.
I already reflected on my internal conflict over whether the Patriots need to put emphasis on a pure pass rusher out of the sub package or go after an every-down outside linebacker who can do it all.
One thing is for certain: No matter how Patriots fans feel, Belichick is going to do what he thinks is best for the football team.
So where will I put the emphasis for the Patriots in this one? The pass rush potency will be the most important criterion, but we want a player who can make an impact on every down over those who just contribute on passing downs as edge rushers.
