With the 1st round pick the New England Patriots acquired for WR Deion Branch, the Patriots selected safety Brandon Meriweather from the University of Miami.
Mac's Instant Analysis: Meriweather is the 4th best safety in the draft, but the main selling point to the Patriots is this: He's young. New England's defense is old, particularly in the back seven. Meriweather injects some youth into a group that is likely to lose Rodney Harrison in a year or two.
Carolina is up next, and TE Greg Olsen is still available. Many mock drafts, including mine, had the Panthers choosing him with the 14th pick.
