Official WCG Mock Draft - Pick #31: New England Patriots

Here we are at pick number 31, one away from the end of the first round. I know Lester already mentioned it when he threw up pick 30, but generally you guys have been great on getting your picks in and making some sound decisions, refusing to let your fandoms get in the way of even making a good pick for the Packers.

Next up, Cutler6 (not Cutler6fan9) will be making the selection for the New England Patriots.

And with the 31st pick in the WCG Mock Draft, the New England Patriots select...

Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

Cutler6: All-SEC performer and All-America candidate... preseason Lott Trophy candidate... earned a spot on the Playboy preseason All-America team... named to Phil Steele's preseason All-SEC first team and All-America second team... expected to take on a bigger leadership role in the secondary... has the ability to make the big play... work ethic and competitiveness are unmatched... has started all 27 games at cornerback since he stepped onto the Carolina campus... named the Harris Pastides Scholar-Athlete for football in the spring of 2011. I believe this kid can contribute right away if need be in NE's 34 defense.

Next on the clock for the Giants: awfullyquiet
