Just a couple thoughts from what I saw at camp today.
Where I was sitting I wasn't able to see a lot of OL vs DL drills. I mostly watched the WR vs DB passing drills (7 on 7s ect)
First Gronk looks like mid 90s Ben Coates, he made multiple catches when he was fairly well covered. In a red zone 7 on 7 drill Brady was going to him almost every time for 3 or 4 Tds.
Also, Price looked very good, (as a WR not as a PR). Everyone else about what you'd expect.
On Defense, Bodden looked very good even when people caught the ball on him it was a tough catch.
McCourty had a OK (by his standards below average) day, but made one spectacular play breaking up a deep sideline route.
I was very impressed with Arrington clearly the front runner for nickel. Close coverage and a couple nice break ups.
Butler looked well like Butler (ie bad). He did jump a route and broke up a pass to OchoCinco. Ocho yelled at him "stop cheating" then gave him a high five. So maybe he overheard the play.
My Ex-Binkie Wilhite looked god awful couldn't cover Jenkins and Barnes or anyone else.
As has been reported numerous times Mallett has a cannon and Ridley is niftier that advertised.
None of the RFAs really jumped out at me.
