With The 17th Pick In The NFL Draft The New England Patriots Select...

DP's Pick:
Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue

Well I believe this pick will be traded, but lets just pretend they will use this pick. It's pretty obvious that the Patriots need some defensive line help and now that all the guys I believe will be good are gone, they go with the next big thing. Kerrigan doesn't have a high ceiling like the other guys in this draft, but can be plugged in immediately and that's what the Patriots need the most. He is smart guy, was a team captain and a high character guy, something that the Patriots look at.

BMack's Pick:
Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple

He was a DT in college, but most people think he will be a DE in a 3-4 defense. He can get pressure on the QB, which is something the Patriots have been missing for a couple years now. With good CBs, Warren coming back to the defensive line the Patriots should be a much improved defense if they can get a guy like this in the draft. I do agree with DP that there is a good chance that they trade this pick, because they seem to do it every year, but if they were to stick around this is exactly the kind of player they would be looking for.

With The 14th Pick In The NFL Draft The St. Louis Rams Select....

DP's Pick
Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple

They were really banking on Julio Jones falling, but are happy that Wilkerson fell to them as he can play outside linebacker as well as DE. The Rams really need to fix their defense and this is a start. Wilkerson is really good and people will underrate him because he played for Temple, but this is a really solid pick.

BMack's Pick:
Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois

A lot of scouts say that Liuget is the most underrated DT in the draft. I can't say I watched a lot of Rams football last year, but I do know they had trouble stopping the runs last year (17th in the NFL). Some people are saying Mark Ingram could go here, but a team with so many holes really shouldn't be building on something that isn't a problem (Steven Jackson). This is a good safe pick, as they try to rebuild that defense. Obviously their preference would've been a WR, but there is no one worth taking here.
