I think it was down to 6th a while ago, so any pick or depth player Id guess at this point.
Pats have two 5th in 2018, and if BB was interested he'd have no problem sending one away (especially since its 5th). He might like LBs he has more. We'll see. Id still like to see one solid and fast cover LB brought in but maybe they like what they see in KVN / Bates.
Here an interesting article on Bates from last preseason w Colts:
Bates says Colts may at some point move him to ILB
quote:
Bates listed his quickness, burst, and initial get-off as some of his strengths, and he noted that at Maine he did play some outside linebacker in some of the 3-4 packages despite playing mostly defensive end in their 4-3 system. In other words, Bates said he's used to playing outside linebacker and dropping into coverage, so he's confident in his ability to adjust at the next level.
This is the 2nd time he has signed here within the year. There is obviously something in him that Bill likes; and based on his measurables & production, I can understand why. The odds are obviously stacked against his making the final 53, but let's see what we have with a full TC & pre-season schedule.Pats claimed WR Devin Street, waived by the Colts.

Nice list.Just a reminder ...
At the end of business today (Tuesday), every unsigned UFA becomes a street free agent and signing them no longer affects the 2018 comp pick calculations.
Here's the NFLTR List, FWIW.
