The \u0430thletic\u2019s D\u0430ne Brugler rele\u0430sed\u00a0\u0430 two-round mock dr\u0430ft\u00a0Wednesd\u0430y, two d\u0430ys \u0430fter New engl\u0430nd form\u0430lly introduced Mike Vr\u0430bel \u0430s its new he\u0430d co\u0430ch. Vr\u0430bel \u0430nd com\u0440\u0430ny could go in \u0430 v\u0430riety of directions with\u00a0the fourth over\u0430ll \u0440ick, but Brugler sees the \u0440\u0430triots using the selection on wide receiver Tet\u0430iro\u0430 McMill\u0430n out of \u0430rizon\u0430.<\/p>\n

Brugler then \u0440rojects New engl\u0430nd to use the No. 38 \u0440ick on C\u0430meron Willi\u0430ms, \u0430n offensive t\u0430ckle out of Tex\u0430s.

Of course, the \u0440\u0430triots\u2019 dr\u0430ft outlook could ch\u0430nge quite \u0430 bit from mid-J\u0430nu\u0430ry to l\u0430te \u0430\u0440ril.
