Safety more than CB in my opinion. The Pats demand more of their safeties not only in run defense but in pass coverage as well.
I still think the Pats need a competent/healthy LT more than anything, though.

light is very good considering his weakness is speed rushers and he sees a lot of them. light may not be exceptional, but hes better than a lot of players masquerading as LT's. id take him over a guy like leonard davis or robert gallery any day, and theyre supposedly big time. if we had a guy who could outplay light on the left, he could flip, and would be one of the best RT's in the league.
biggest need, as always, is BPA. theyll build from there. would like to see a SS to groom in harrison style, would like a developmental corner who can play some now but has number one potential, i dont see LB as an issue except for depth right now. and i think wilson will solve our corner issues if we draft a FS, or he stays there. we have great safety depth when harrison and wilson are healthy

I think anybody would take Matt Light over arguably the two worst LTs in the league

well you would right? its funny how many nfl execs seem more caught up in remembering their playing days than doing their jobs and properly evaluating talent

Well, in all fairness, Gallery is playing out of position; most people thought he

if staley is there i take him, definitely at the second pick, depends on if nelson or willis is there at the first. i think light is fine despite the injury, ive never considered him good against speed rushers. hes above average everywhere else.
if we dont draft anyone, kaczur and o'callaghan could be our two future starters. o'callaghan is huge for such a young guy. he has LT frame for sure, and will have done a great job in the weight room this offseason i bet.
im not worried about our offensive line, but i wont ever say no to quality or better value than expected depth.

nobody does a better job then the pats of developing o-linemen from out of nowhere. dante scarnechia is a phenomenal coach
