Round Four, Pick 140
C Gabe Ikard, Oklahoma
The Patriots re-signed center Ryan Wendell this offseason, so there is no need to go after someone that can start immediately. Ikard had a solid career, and using a four round pick on him could pay huge benefits for New England down the road. Ikard is a tough, durable player, but more importantly, he is versatile. Bill Belichick loves versatile players, which makes the likelihood of him taking Ikard higher than someone that strictly plays one position.
