The Patriots have picked DE Brandon Deadrick out of Alabama with the 247th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  He is 6’4″, 296 pounds and he can play inside at DT if needed.  He is not much of a pass rusher but he plays hard and he is a good run defender.  Deadrick played in 14 games (10 starts) at Alabama last season and he finished up with 23 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss and he has 1 sack.  He played in 48 games (32 starts) in his four years at Alabama and he finished up with 83 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss and 7 sacks.  Deadrick was projected to go as high as the 3rd or 4th round in this draft so the Patriots might have gotten a steal here.
