Missouri. Charles Harris. 31. player. 47. . DE

On look at the New England Patriots on Monday night and it was clear that they are likely headed to at least another AFC Championship game this season. Tom Brady appears to have found the Fountain of Youth, and he is winning games without the best tight end in the league. The offense can function no matter who plays the wide receiver position, and their three-headed monster at running back can produce in the run game, and through the air.

One area of need for this team, if there really is any, is on the defensive line. New England could choose to select a defensive end in this draft, as this class is loaded with talent at that position. On December 1, Missouri defensive end Charles Harris declared for the draft as a junior, and he just may end up being the best of the bunch.

Harris was an SEC All-Conference selection for the Tigers, winning the honor in arguably the best conference in all of college football. He recorded nine sacks this past season, and he just may be the best defensive end in school history. Playing for Belichick has to be the dream of most defensive players, and a coachable kid like Harris is only going to flourish in the Pats system.
