The Pats go with offensive lineman Sebastian Vollmer out of Houston.  Draft guru Mel Kiper says teams had varying thoughts on Vollmer.  Apparently he’s 6′8 which is monstrous for a tackle, but raw talent to be sure, which is fine for the Pats who don’t NEED an OL now, but will in the future.  Here’s a recap of who New England picked up and where.

• 34th overall Patrick Chung, S, Oregon
• 40th overall Ron Brace, DT, Boston College
• 41st overall Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut
• 58th overall Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Houston

The ESPN guys talked to Bill Belichick right near the end of their Day 1 coverage.  He praised the versatility and intelligence of both Chung and Butler.  Also said that Tom Brady is in the offseason program “without limitations” .  Sounds like good news from the man in charge.  As always in Belichick we trust.  Back tomorrow with more draft picks.
