FOXBORO - With the third round complete and the Patriots devoid of a defensive move in Day 1, here's a look at some fourth-round possibilities for New England.

The Pats hold the following picks on Sunday: 106, 118, 136, 152, 191, 205, 206, 229.

SAFETIES
Pat Watkins, Florida State. 6-4, 211, 4.5. Huge and smart flows to ball
Ko Simpson, South Carolina, 6-1, 209, 4.46 (sophomore). Young, good athlete.
Greg Blue, Georgia, 6-2, 215, 4.65. Huge hitter, near linebacker size. Not smart.
Calvin Lowry, Penn State, 5-11, 200, 4.58. Disciplined, smart and good on teams

DEFENSIVE ENDS
Ray Edwards, Purdue, 6-5, 273, 4.82. Great build, questionable attitude.
Mark Anderson, Alabama, 6-4, 255, 4.65. Good attitude, a little light, solid motor.
Parys Haralson, Tennessee, 6-1, 253, 4.84. Nasty, explosive rusher. Fast off edge.

All right, that's the end of that little exercise. Belichick just came out. Here's what he had to say (full transcript posted tomorrow).

ON CHAD JACKSON
He's a guy we were considering in the first round. As we got into the second, we were able to move up with the trade to Green Bay. We spent a lot of time with him down there and up here. We're looking forward to working with him. We think he's got some good things to work with.

ON DAVE THOMAS
He comes from a good program. He's very well thought of in all aspects of his game. He brings value on all four downs.

MORE ON JACKSON
He understands passing concepts. We (give a playbook excerpt to) a lot of players. We talk about it some then bring them back up and see what kind of recall they have.

ON HOW THE DEAL WITH GREEN BAY WENT DOWN
We looked at the draft charts and we were sitting there with two thirds and two fourths at 52. We talked to teams in that range. Denver was at 38 and we thought they might be interested in the receiver. Denver, Oakland, those were teams we felt we needed to get up above. Scott handled the whole trade scenario and did a good job with gettng that worked out. We just barely got the pick in before time expired.

ALSO
Belichick said that while Jackson has an excellent feel for the passing game, it doesn't quite measure up to the level of Deion Branch's when Branch came out of Louisville.

Also, the Pats expect to do some moving tomorrow with seven picks in hand.
