Unrestricted Free Agents Who Might Help

I agree. I think this draft is deep enough in tackles that we don't need to address it in the first round. I think we can safely take bradford with #4 and then focus on the line the rest of the draft (2nd rd charles brown OT, USC). You don't pick #4 overall often, and bradford is a quarterback that could conceivably evolve into a brees manning or brady. I think we have enough draft picks and carry enough weight in FA that we don't NEED to take okung at #4 to reliably reconstruct our OL (which of course is still our number 1 priority).

On the "transition to 3-4" note, the deadline for the patriots franchise tagging vince wilfork is less than a week away - if we're serious about playing the 3-4 defense I think we need to take a long hard look at him if he stays on the market as a UFA.
