Default Patriots Castoffs not wanted?

A lot of us predicted that many of our castoffs would be scooped up by other teams.

To my knowledge, only Gus Scott and Dan Klecko have found their way to other team's active roster. I know Mincey was signed to someone else's practice squad, but I'm not sure if that really counts.

So, were we all wrong? Did we vastly overestimate the worth of our fringe players?

I haven't seen this talked about yet and I was just curious what you all thought.

Patrick Cobbs also plus Gorin if you go back a week or two. Trading those two thinned out the talent at the bottom a little.

I am surprised that Bam didn't get signed before coming back to our PS - maybe WR really are a dime a dozen

The Pats were wrong on Guss Scott. The Colts cut Dexter Reid.

BB/Pioli isn't perfect, but they did get picks for Patrick Cobbs and Brandon Gorin. Many Pats fans, myself included, made the mistake of thinking that Mincey was more than a 6th round pick, simply because he was the 1st defensive player taken. But in the end, Mincey was only a 6th round pick that couldn't break the Pats 53.

Stevenson is on the PS and is expected to follow the footsteps of Gene Mrzcsowski (sp), a former PS OL player that made the team.

LeKevin Smith (6th) and Willie Andrews (7th) made the 53 as did UDFA Pierre Woods. Eric Alexander made the roster as well.

Who else are they going to pick up? Beisel? None of us are professional football coaches and we can see he stinks. Other coaches must think, if BB can't coach him "up" what am I going to do with him? Chad Brown? Isn't he injured? The only one I am surprised didn't get picked up is Gramatica, but he could get the call any time another kicker goes down.

Ask NEM; he's the greatest proponent of the idea that the bottom of the patriot roster would be quickly signed up by others.

andy and I have never believed in this theory.

Scott, Klecko, Cobbs and Gorin is a large group to make other teams' rosters. Was anybody really expecting Brian Barthelmes and Keron Henry?

I think that is large, too. I'm way to lazy/busy but I'd like to compare that to other teams.

FWIW - The Pats picked up 2 other teams' castoffs in Jonathan Smith and Doug Gabriel.

Only us fans of NCAAF powerhouse UConn Huskies. The 2004 Motor City Bowl Champions (That's almost as bad as the Dolts division champ banners)
