Bills help secondary with CB Gilmore

After much speculation, the Buffalo Bills drafted a player not many had on their radar, taking South Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore with the No. 10 overall pick. Gilmore should immediately help Buffalo's inconsistent pass defense. He is a solid all-around corner who can make plays, force turnovers and tackle against the run. Buffalo continues to pump resources into its revamped 4-3 defense this offseason. The Bills spent a majority of their free-agency dollars on starting defensive ends Mario Williams and Mark Anderson.

Patriots aren't playing around

You knew Bill Belichick couldn’t stand having one of the worst defenses in the NFL. That is part of the reason the New England Patriots traded up -- not once, but twice -- to land another defender. New England traded up again to No. 25 in the first round. This time the reigning AFC champs drafted Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower. The Patriots saw tremendous value at the end of the first round and jumped at the chance to land Hightower. The Patriots need help being more physical, and that is what Hightower brings.

Are Patriots looking to move up?

Did New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick watch ESPN.com's blogger mock draft on Monday? It seems that way after Thursday's report by Albert Breer of the NFL Network that New England has had talks with the Seattle Seahawks about moving up to the No. 12 pick. In Monday's blogger mock draft, I had those same trade talks with NFC West/Seattle general manager Mike Sando. The Seahawks are open to moving down in this draft, and New England has plenty of draft capital to move up, although it's not the road the Patriots often take.
