This is a very good thing from a Pats point of view, let his stock drop and scoop him up for a bargain.
Yep. Let's hope the Raiders suck.

Will the Raiders commit the rest of the season to the memory of Al Davis and play over their head from here on out?
I wonder if Bolleman will yell at Vrabel (I hope he does so Mike can punch him in the face).
How these discussions tend to get carried away is amazing, we're all Pats fans, if your way gets us a ring, I'll be as happy as a clam and we should all feel the same.
To me, having TB another 4-6 years is better than a pass rusher. We all want both but, having one choice I'll take a healthy Tom. Having said that, we all know it's up to Dante & Bill ( where it should be). If Bill took Brewster at # 16 and said this is our center for the next decade, I could live with it
The remaining picks we would have could get us maybe- Vinny Curry OLB, Lester S or players of that ilk, plus defensive tackles that can play 5 tech run pretty strong right through the 3rd rd. ( just a hunch about returning to 3-4)
The bottom line for me is, if Brewster is the next Mangold, remember what Big Vince said about him.
According to NEPatriots Draft.com Konz has health concerns. (clot on lung etc.)
The information I got on Konz was from NEPATRIOTSDRAFT.COM. If you go to the site, at the upper right-hand section they have a draft write-up on Konz concerning the blood clot on his lung that he had in 2009 and recurring ankle injuries. The site says these are definite red flags.
With all the turmoil that Ohio State's having this year, one almost has to disregard this season.
Hope this helps, Ninja. Keep up the good work.
For those saying they'd be happy to stick with Dan Connolly next year, you should be aware that he's a UFA at the end of the season.
I wouldn't say he is the next Mangold but he will be good. He just needs to improve on his footwork.
Apparently, NFL O line coaches hate the footwork of Linemen from Ohio State. They say it's screwed up. And the O line coach for OSU is that incompetent idiot Jim Bolleman.
You have any info about that clot on Konz?
And so is Koppen as well???
I agree with your assessment on Brewster. He is alright, but he has been bullrushed on more than one occation and his footwork as you mentioned is suspect. I've seen him around Campus more than once and he has a good frame though. Besides Mangold, the Buckeyes havent produced a notable offensive lineman since Orlando Pace. Surprising, considering the recruits they get and the midwest usually puts out decent linemen

Isn’t Mangold bullrushed here and there? If his footwork can be improved upon might that really shore up his game to the point where he’d be really solid? That being said, is Connelly playing well enough to where we don’t need to spend a high pick on a Center and we’d be better off getting a late round candidate and grooming them?
I also wonder if Konz's issues cause him to drop, knee/ankle issues scare me.
I've seen that. Mangold's only weakness. Being bull rushed but that's rare.
It is rare, remember Wilfork ripping Mangold a new one in the 45-3 game last year. Rare but does happen. I hope it happens more
Interesting that the Jets fixed that blocking scheme flaw for the playoff game and because of our lack of a pass rush, we allowed a bum like sanchez to send us to the showers.
I do agree that the OSU line coach is not developing the talent he has to work with, also the blocking schemes are nearly impossible to figure out. I'm not sure how they can justify keeping him on staff next season.
