Actually it's shaping up pretty well.

Crumpler understudy

As i said, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

A f*cking tight end. F*ck off Bill.

We have several units on the team now where the age of the players is close ... they will grow together ... this is a great pick and the kid does not have to play a down this year.

could Lee Smith be Crumpler's replacement?

BB is banking on him to be...... Crumpler is 34. Got a little left. Smith is a great practice squad guy to that will learn.

The Patriots cafeteria bill just went up this week.

This if the biggest Pats draft ever.

Crunpler was/is injured. This guy is a road grader type TE. STs also.

Next pick will be a K understudy to Ghost

are we trading Crumpler???? wtf?



a TE???

I assume he can BLOCK

so


bye Crump

Lee Smith is 6'6""

Thank God we drafted Ryan Mallett. He's the only QB who'll be able to see over this offensive line.

My brother is going through chemo for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at the moment. He has to go through 6 treatments spaced three weeks apart. So depending on the number of treatments, it'll be somewhere around 18 weeks to complete, which would be near the start of TC. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Cannon goes on the PUP list.

Wish your Bro the best! Heard one time Lance Armstrong continued to ride his bike thru his treatments. Not sure if that's a tale. Anyone know if the BC Linebacker been taken yet?

The Patriots are already going to be carrying an extra QB this year. Where do you propose to stash this TE? Are you thinking he'll stay on the squad as is, are you expecting expanded rosters, or do you see this as a future practice player?

Crumpler's 2012 replacement. A decent blocking TE was a decent pick here.

BTW, I see an expanded roster for 2011, especially if there is long lockout.

I don't like this pick because unless Crumpler isn't coming back, he may not even make the roster. He's Crumplers long term replacement, but there are a lot of players on the board that I like much better. At least we know now for sure, BB is commiting to running the ball in 2011. Bigger O-line, another blocking TE and two RB's, I don't think Brady will be airing it out this season. I think BB is trying to start the trend of turning the NFL back into a running league.

No, You. *open hand slap*.

Pats tend to do well with ballcatchers from Marshall...

It's safe to say that in gaining short-yardage outside the tackles, the Pats should do well moving the football next year. Crump, Gronk and Smith....sheesh.

Not even close. I'm just a bit jaded. I'm sure I'll be proven wrong.
