The 2011 Arrowhead Pride Mock Draft continues with averagegastsby choosing for the New England Patriots at No. 28...
With the Patriots first pick I went with a Swiss Army defensive line man, a guy who can play both DT and
DE in the Patriots 3-4 defense, a guy that will allow the Patriots to be even more creative than they have
in the past with their 1, 2, and 3 man fronts.
The Patriots could go one of a few ways with this pick, they still need a replacement for the recently
retired Stephen Neal, and they could really use a WR to stretch the field, a guy that will help open it
underneath for their two headed monster at TE, and for Welker out wide.
But what the Patriots really need, especially in their division, is more help defending the run game.
So with the 28th pick the Patriots take the next best available player:
Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA
Ayers has fallen down draft boards lately because of a poor showing at the combine, the Patriots will not care.
Even if he isn't as athletic as once thought the Patriots have done really well in the past with Linebackers
who weren't exactly elite athletes. His biggest weakness is he can struggle taking on blockers, but with
the massive Defensive Line, and all three guys taller than 6'2" and in excess of 300 lbs Ayers shouldn't
have to worry about that. Ayers is however a guy who got results at the college level, he racked up 137
tackles, 7 sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles, and 6 INT's (2 returned for TD's) in his last two seasons at UCLA, and
was voted a team captain.
