Another day, another position. Today the focus is back on defense and the big fellas up front. It is a position that lost its star of the last decade plus in Vince Wilfork. He will be tough to replace, but there are some players on the roster who can play that type of role. The real interesting question will be if the Patriots really want a big run stuffer like Wilfork or if they want to shift gears and go with quicker, more penetrating type of defensive tackle. There is good talent in this draft at the position and the Patriots should be able to find a guy that fits the style they want to play.
