NFL Mock Draft 2011: New England Patriots Get There Man in J.J. Watt

According to draft experts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, no prospect added more value to his draft stock at the NFL Combine than Wisconsin's monster defensive end J.J. Watt.

Despite his impressive numbers at the NFL Combine (4.81 40-yard dash, 34 bench reps), Watt also brings forth positivity and hustle to a New England defense in need of it.

Nevertheless, these Patriots have been rumored to be eying up Watt for the better part of the offseason, as he would make an excellent addition to a defense that ranked in the middle of the league with just 36 sacks a season ago.

Look for Watt to become a focal-point within Bill Belichick's improving defense.
