With the Patriots getting the potential steal of the draft in round one in having the top OL fall in their lap, they look again to get a steal at the end of the 2nd round. With an early pick in the 3rd round and what with value is out there is some need positions, they can afford to not go with CB with this pick. With their aging LB unit, there is clearly a value pick available as Virginia Tech OLB Xavier Adibi has been ranked as a possible early to mid 2nd round pick. One thing is for certain, he won't be lasting to the 3rd round.
With the 62nd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select OLB Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech.
The New York Giants are on the clock...
