Maybe Dee Ford

Every expert has their own mock draft. One of the New York Post columnists has the Pats selecting DE/OLB Dee Ford of Auburn with the 29th pick in the first round.

He is described as a "faster Rob Ninkovich" and the best pass rusher available. Some consider him a guy without a position. Is he a linebacker or defensive end? His size might be an issue. He finished second in sacks behind Michael Sam in the SEC.

He skipped the NFL scouting Combine because of medical issues, but had a great performance at Auburn Pro Day. He seems like a good fit for the Pats.
