23. New England Patriots

04/15/09- Brian Cushing OLB. If this pick actually pans out then I’ll be upset because, although Cushing may not be the best OLB out there, he is still a damn fine prospect at the position and has great intangibles, just the kind of player I hate to see go to the Pats. Besides, with Vrabel gone, they need somebody to catch those goal line TDs.
