Stanford OL, I love it. It's not Yankey but Fleming is a good player

Excellent!

BJGE hasn't been on the team since 2011. The Pats have had a top 10 rushing offense each of the two years since BJGE has left the team. Stop! Please Stop!

As mentioned earlier, Cameron Fleming was rated #58 on the CBS list that I have (one week old)

I hope they move fleming to guard

And now comes the long dark tea time of the Patriots draft . . .

He could hardly be less like BJGE

Stork and Fleming both sound very smart. Makes sense BB would like them.

So I guess we're sliding Fleming in at guard? Other than Easley and Stork, this is not a good draft.

what's this guys deal does he just play tackle or can he play guard too?

Our draft so far today...

I think they're gonna throw him into the competition at RG. He seems to be a better fit there than tackle.

They were talking about it a minute ago - Stanford kept wanting to move him to guard, but he was too good at RT for them to do so.

He's a big guy at 6'5" 325lbs so if they want to move him inside it shows we are going for the bigger OL now. Beefing up inside, I like it.

Ooh, didn't think they'd go for Fleming. Powerful but not terribly athletic, projects to RG. Maybe the suggestions that they'd changing their approach to OLs in the post-Dante world were right?

On the plus side for all you "value" fans, he was projected to go higher.

Why do people always go back to the Pro Bowl as an indication of anything when it's well known that it's a worthless popularity contest and doesn't actually have the BEST players in it..

Hope that Tripp somehow still falls to us.. will reserve my opinion on the draft until we get a look at the players around camp time..

23.5 Vertical Jump at combine. Another myth shattering pick.

I assume that Fleming will replace Cannon on the roster in 2015. I'll have to revisit Fleming.
