Some think that C.J. Spiller or Jahvid Best could be just what the doctor ordered on offense, as they both would provide an infusion of speed that would serve to diversify the Patriots’ offensive sets. However, neither seems to be a likely possibility...They seem to not value single-down greyhound scatbacks as highly as guys who can ground the ball out for plays at a time and wear down the defense.
he most intriguing option for the Patriots, however, may be Deji Karim of Southern Illinois, a 5 foot 10, 210 pounder who blazed a 4.40 40 and could provide that ever so elusive size-speed combination teams look for.
The Patriots definitely have their own brand of offensive lineman though, and it is pretty obvious what they like. They want intelligent guys who can block the sun and know where to place their hands.
Later in the draft, the Patriots may look for a pass-rushing defensive end to bring in as a rotational guy for Ty Warren, so keep an eye on Kade Weston from Georgia.
Very nice sleeper pick.
Saw this article about past trends for Patriots drafts.
I can't post a link, but if you google "Draft day cheat sheet Part 1: A look at the Patriots" you should be able to find it I suppose.
Thoughts? It seems well-researched, though I'm not sure we only look at white safeties lol.
hoyer was not drafted he was signed as a FAGreat article. But what about Brian Hoyer?

I have had my eye on Kade for a long time now and he is raw, very raw, but if coached up properly, he could be a legitimate PT rotational player in the base defense.
I don't think it's raw as much as lazy. Chronic underachiever. Yet that body type will get him drafted somewhere.
hoyer was not drafted he was signed as a FA
It's nuts to make generalizations just looking at the heights and weights of draftees.
Are there any negatives with Dunlap other than the DUI and "maturity" issues??? Am I correct in saying that he is a legitimate top 5-10 talent?
