The Patriots added a versatile linebacker in Timmons with their first pick and will continue to upgrade their defense with this selection. New England has to think about the present and the future in regards to their secondary. Rodney Harrison is getting older and a replacement is necessary. Miami’s Brandon Meriweather is a nice successor.

With Adalius Thomas going to New England via free agency, the Ravens have to find a replacement. This draft is full of talented linebackers with big impact ability. Drafting a player as versatile as Purdue’s Anthony Spencer will benefit the Ravens’ defense.

The Chargers need to add a receiver to their offense and give Phillip Rivers a deep threat. Tennessee’s Robert Meachem is the perfect receiver to fit in the Chargers offense. Meachem is a tall, fast receiver who will give the Chargers a major weapon and someone to compliment the developing Vincent Jackson.

Ben Grubbs

Auburn

It’s obvious that Rex Grossman is still a work in progress, and there are some serious doubts that he will become a quality quarterback. One way to find out is to give him some protection, and Auburn’s Ben Grubbs is as technically sound as any lineman in the draft.
