3. (78) Shawn Crable, OLB/DE
Shawn Crable will likely play outside linebacker for the Patriots and he’s a heatseeker. He is 6′5″, 241 pounds and he runs a 4.65 40 which is very fast for a player his size. The Patriots wanted to get younger at linebacker and Crable and Mayo is a good start. Crable played in 47 games (21 starts) for Michigan and he made 148 tackles, had 43 tackles for a loss, 16 sacks, forced 4 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles. Crable will likely be a backup linebacker and special teams player but he appears to be a future impact player at outside linebacker for the Patriots. This was a good pick for them.
