Pats take LB Crable at #78

The Patriots have drafted Michigan LB Shawn Crable with the 78th pick.

Listed at 6-foot-5, 241 pounds, Crable is an outside linebacker and has long arms, good for shedding offensive linemen when he's rushing the passer. He had 28.5 tackles for a loss last season, which was second-most in the country.

Crable already has something in common with current Pats' linebacker Pierre Woods: both are Ohio natives that ended up at hated Michigan.
