Odrick Isnt Seymour
The three months in between the end of the season and the draft always seem to drag out until you’ve done so much research and seen so many mock drafts you tend to get attached to certain guys and lose sight of who the best player for your draft slot really is.
Lately most of Patriots Nation seems to be trending toward Penn State’s Jared Odrick as good fit for the Patriots at the 22nd overall slot, especially with the departure of Jarvis Green to Denver. Odrick seems to have the size and intangibles to make a good 5-techinque, a position that Jarvis Green was ill fit for when he was thrust into it following the trade of Richard Seymour.
DE is a position of need and Odrick is by all accounts a great kid who loves football and competes on every down. Sounds like a perfect fit right? As recently as yesterday he was my number one target. However last night my opinion began to sway a bit.
