I was pretty disappointed by some of the decisions today, but looking at the roster some things certainly jump out. 6(!) Inside Linebackers- Someone is going to go here, and my suspicion is it is White or Fletcher. My opinion on the White trade is that the Pats acquired him in case they...

I thought it would be good to have a thread about guys from other teams who the Patriots may be able to acquire either via waivers, free agency(if a veteran) or trade prior to the start of the season. I watched the Vikings first preseason game (and see a lot of Vikings regular season games)...

I didn't post specific thoughts after round 1, but I agreed with much of what Albert Breer wrote in his piece for the Globe. I really liked the Pats first move to trade up from 44, surrendering a 6th rounder, to grab the consensus 2nd best TE in Rob Gronkowski. My only concern with this...

I did this really quickly and didn't project any trades, just wanted to get an idea of what is still left. I did not pick who I wanted the Patriots to take, just projected who I thought they might take. A lot of talent still on the board after the 2nd round: Arrelious Benn, Eric Decker, Dexter...

I projected trades in my mock, but I just used a draft chart for rough values. 1 (1) St. Louis- Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma:-I am worried about his shoulder and think Suh makes more sense from a talent standpoint. That said from an economic standpoint a QB makes the most sense. 2 (2)...

Pats take Earl Thomas at 22 with Dez Bryant still on the board. I'd be ok with Thomas as he's a playmaker and this team certainly needs more of those. Rick Gosselin's final mock draft: Dez Bryant to Cowboys | NFL News | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News

I think most of us have kept in mind Bill Belichick's stated desire for OLB's who are 6'4 or 6'5 and run a 4.6 forty yard dash when discussing smaller OLB prospects like Brandon Graham and Jerry Hughes. Here are the players who have played OLB for the Pats in recent seasons. Mike Vrabel-6'4...

Always a useful tool: ProFootballWeekly.com - PFW's exclusive draft value chart Also of interest is Nawrocki's top 100 where JPP has taken a significant tumble in to the 80's. Nawrocki did have him as his top DE at one point so he has seen/heard something that has soured him on JPP...

In the Boldin trade, the Ravens gave up 202 draft points for Boldin and 29.8 points. The trade value of Boldin was a net 172 points. Pats trade their 2nd 2nd round draft pick, no. 47 overall (430 points) for Dwanye Bowe and the Chiefs 3rd round pick(250 points). The trade value for Bowe...

Daniel Jeremiah (MoveTheSticks) on Twitter I just found out about this guy from Chris Mortensen's twitter page, so I assume he is legit. He's got a lot of good info coming out of the combine and is answering a lot of peoples questions. I don't have a Twitter account, but might get one, just...

Anyone seen him play? Kiper mentioned him as one of his defensive sleepers and he has ideal Pats measurables for the OLB position. Davis is listed at 6'5and 272lbs on NFL Draft Scout and Kiper expects him to run between 4.5-4.6.

I was looking at YouTube for some prospect video and came across two Dunlap videos of interest from Alo draft. Now I don't know if Alo draft has some sort of agenda or not, but Dunlap was very unimpressive in both clips (one from the UT game and another from the FSU game). To me, he plays too...

The above 6 guys were all drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft and the Patriots got almost nothing from them this year. I know my own hopes for 2009 were contingent on a few of these players becoming significant contributors. Obviously, injuries had a lot to do with Crable, McKenzie, and...

Last year, Jarron Gilbert made waves on YouTube by jumping out of a pool. This year, another defensive lineman will probably get a lot of attention for an athletic feat having little to do with football. Jason Pierre Paul's backfilps: YouTube - 2009 iBowl Back Flip Contest Jason Pierre-Paul...

This Summer during training camp we heard over and over again about how hard the Patriots were going in training camp. The team was in pads far more often than many teams and some of the players commented about how difficult the work was. At/near the end of training camp, Coach Belichick...

If posters are mocked for questioning Coach Belichick's decision making in this game, when is it ok to criticize the coach/team? I don't think Coach Belichick is above being criticized for decisions he makes, even if you admire his track record. If you disagree with posters who have issues...

I realize we are only dressing 7 of them, but I don't understand the roster composition at all right now. It's especially frusterating when the line isn't even playing well, we don't make changes, yet we still carry 10 of them. We coud have really used another WR today as Galloway was awful...

QB(2) Brady, Hoyer Patriots will sign or trade for a backup QB eventually, but it might not be today. RB (4) Maroney, Faulk, Taylor, Green-Ellis Patriots will not keep 5 RB's and Morris will get an injury settlement or go on I.R. I personally would rather have Morris than Green-Ellis...

Happy Patriots 1. Laurence Maroney/BenJarvus Green-Ellis- I wasn't too worried about the Pats taking an RB early, but that probably would have been bad news for Laurence. Not taking a back at all significantly boosts Law Firms chances of making the team. 2. Jarvis Green- He's scheduled...

So 7 picks on Day 2 including 4 in Round 3. I don't think they make all 7 picks, but there are still some good players out there. I really feel like Jarron Gilbert is the only really good 3-4 DE left, but will the Pats even take another Dlineman? Seymour, Wilfork, Warren, Brace, Wright, and...
