Patriot Writers Agree: This guy could be a Patriot on Thursday.
NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko
The Patriots are one of the hardest teams in the league to try and project in mock drafts. Here at NEPatriotsdraft.com we have discussed the possibilities in the first round at length.
To change things up and get a different perspective I spoke with Patriot beat writers, NFL Insiders and NFL Draft Analysts to get their predictions for the Patriots first two selections. The results were very interesting.
Is Vinny Curry on the Patriots Radar?
NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko
The Draft will finally get underway in 48 hours. The Patriots have been painfully tough to project in the past, but I take my best shot and try to predict who will have their name called by the Patriots this week.
Mark Barron is a hot commodity leading up to draft day

In this multi-scenario 2012 NFL Mock Draft I will make the selection for each team, based on what I think is most likely to happen next Thursday.
Unlike regular mock drafts, at least two other scenarios will be given per team. This will give fans a chance to see different possibilities for each pick in the first round depending on how things unfold.
Trumaine Johnson could be a Patriot come draft day.

With the draft one week away I do my best to predict how the Patriots draft will unfold and how the players signed in free agency and any further free agent signings fit into the 53 man roster.
How high could the Patriots target this versatile Boise State player?
NEPD Editor: Doug Kyed
Predicting how the Patriots may draft lies somewhere between predicting the weather and picking the the correct mega millions numbers on the difficulty scale.
We think we know what positions they may be targeting, and we think we know who the best fits are, but often times Bill Belichick will throw us for a loop.
That’s exactly what I’m trying to predict in my latest Patriots 2012 NFL Mock Draft.
Fletcher Cox would make an immediate impact on the Patriots front seven.

A trade. How else would you expect a 2012 Patriots NFL Mock Draft to start? However, unlike most years, I have the Patriots moving up instead of moving down. What prospect could make Coach Belichick change his pattern?
See my full 7-round mock draft after the jump.
Will Shea McClellin be the pass rusher the Patriots target?
NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko
With the free agent frenzy settling down and the dust beginning to settle, the draft needs of the Patriots are becoming more clear. This is the first post free agency Patriots mock draft.
