The Bengals and Patriots are potentially strong teams that could really help themselves today. Two first round picks certainly help. The Bengals were one of the surprises last season. If they pull two starters out of the first round the Steelers and Ravens will no longer be alone at the top of the AFC North. For fairly valid reasons many doubt that the Patriots will keep both of their first round picks. The team trades picks so frequently. There are some serious defensive playmakers that should be available at the Patriots selections. McClellan, in particular, seems like a Belichick kind of football player. Smart and extremely versatile. McClellan and Perry or Clemson's Andre Branch could do wonders for a defense seriously lacking last year.
