Philadelphia Eagles- Mike Patterson, DT, USC

They got their interior lineman, maybe someone to eventually replace Corey Simon. He's slightly undersized, but Jim Johnson is incredibly smart , and he'll know how to take advantage of his quickness and his ability to split double teams. There are certain characteristics that are way overrated, and height of a defensive lineman, along with that of running backs is not really important. Skill level is. Patterson has that skill level.

The Patriots are up next, and the defense is the logical pick, either a linebacker to replace Tedy Bruschi for however long that is, or someone like Justin Miller to provide depth in the secondary.
