Pryor had a nice batted pass which went about 20 - 25 feet straight up but fell to ground along the line of scrimmage without an intercetion.

Edelman had a dropped pass which hurt, but continued to impress overall with some nice catches and a 6 yard run on an end around.

Kinda crazy... but the rookies who could end up having the most impact are possibly all the low rounders : Pryor, Edelman, Ingram.

This draft class has the potential to be one of the best the Patriots have ever had.

I know he isn't a rookie, but Wheatley showed very well today. Outside of one 3rd down play where he was too wide out of his turn, he was in position good position all game long. Not perfect, but darned impressive considering the receivers and the fact that Wilhite and Butler weren't available.

Butler i would say is just as important and impressive

Completely agree... with Wilhite and (seemingly) Butler having passed him on the depth chart, he comes in out of nowhere and does the job. ATL passing, so potentially dangerous, was completely taken out of game - and running game non-existant as well. Very impressed by all defenders.

DNP today, though.

With his limited play lasy year I will call him a rookie! Nice to see the youth in the secondary appearing to show poised and long term potential. Julian E will only improve and could be very good down the road. Let him keep learning from Welker. Appreciate the input!

all receivers need to pick it up a bit, randy moss could give alot more effort in going up for balls, im still not high on galloway, brady was better...oline played pretty good..defense real good in coverage, wheatley played well like i said he would...hes better than wilhite boys, ive been preaching this for awhile..watson te's looked pretty sharp in catching the ball..thk u watson for finally playing up to ur draft status here lately
