Grissom was such a big time bust pick. Probably even worse than Jake Bequette.

A bust like Malcolm Brown?

What does one have to do with the other?

Patriots Re-Signed Glenn Gronkowski to the PS.
Patriots signed Tyler Gaffney to the PS.

Attitude.

Nice to see Gaffney back.
I hope its not connected with Lewis .. Sankey recently got a raise ..
So for the moment its more like anti climax.

Really strange composition of PS now. No TE, LB, CB .. 2 DL went to 53 ..
I wonder how this shakes up by the end of the week.

No kidding. The team went from 646 TEs to 3 in 15 minutes.

The roster has 4 more players on DEFENSE than on OFFENSE. So, there is a greater need to use the Practice Squad for OFFENSE.

Interesting that there are no players currently on Patriots 53-man roster who were not employed by the team over the summer or opening day.

The team added two outsiders - DT John "Pretty in Pink" Hughes, released and TE Greg Scruggs, IR. Two additions from suspension, three practice squad (Hamilton, Johnson, Grissom). The only late addition was Rowe, by my count, which happened before opening day. Three possible veterans await on PUP, and the potential of one more from IR.

Belichick earlier stated that he really liked the make-up of this team.

Hmmm..when I went to team depth chart it listed TE- Scruggs on the 53 .. What's up with that?

Maybe the Pats are the first NFL* team afflicted with the Scruggs virus?

Wouldn't mind a LB at the expense of a DL.

Guessing Foster goes when Lewis is activated. Don't need 3 skat-backs.

Will be interesting who goes when Tre Jackson is activated.

Supposedly Belichick said that Lewis probably won't begin practicing this week..

So one of those Dolphins did land here ..

2015 4th round pick... 6'4" 310 Guard from ASU. 1st Team Pac 12 in 2014. 16 Games w/6 starts for Dolphins in 2015. Insurance for Tre Jackson?

Pats have now 3 2015 4rd guards. He was taken 3 picks after Tre by Miami (and some 20 before Mason) and shares the same measurables.

BOTTOM LINE
Douglas gets by with adequate length and plus athleticism, but his play demeanor will have to ramp up in order to make it as an NFL guard. Douglas flashes enough potential to excite teams looking for athletic traits, but his lack of functional power will be hard to overlook for others. Douglas could benefit from a glass-chewing mentor in the NFL.

Was he thinking of Dante there at the end ..

I was hoping we'd draft Douglas. Maybe getting cut is the kick in the gnads he needs.
