Excellent point. Actually, if the team wanted an interior D-lineman, the guy Rang has going to the Pats at 28 would make more sense (plus he's more from further southeast where Dale Strahm likes his prey):

Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State: Cox will appeal to Bill Belichick for various reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the 6-4, 295-pound junior is just scratching the surface of his potential. And make no mistake, the potential is there for Cox to be a star. The Bulldog defensive tackle earned the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week four times this season and is highly regarded by scouts because of his size, strength and ability to play inside or out in multiple fronts. That type of versatility will also certainly intrigue Belichick.

Easily the top need though is at CB. Sure they have needs at other positions, but a first round pick should probably start immediately, and there is a Help Wanted sign hanging around Kareem Jackson's neck right now.
