Dominique Easley's talent is undeniable. But there's one caveat: It comes with two torn ACLs. The Patriots selected the Florida defensive lineman with the No. 29 pick in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, giving a welcome infusion of youth to a unit that sorely needed it. After Vince Wilfork (32 years old) and Tommy Kelly (33) went down with season-ending injuries in 2013, the Patriots defensive line suffered badly and the Patriots' run defense finished the year ranked 30th in the NFL. When healthy, Easley gives the Pats perhaps the most talented defensive linemen in this year's draft not named Jadeveon Clowney. He played all along the defensive line at Florida, showing his ability to penetrate and get into opposing backfields with regularity no matter where he was lined up. - See more at: http://www.csnne.com/blog/patriots-talk/patriots-select-florida-dt-easley-no-29
