Looks like we can feel confident that at least one interior lineman and one tight end will be drafted, lol.
and confident that at least one OL currently on the team will get the boot.

I have read some really negative things about Jackson and his conditioning.do you really think Tre Jackson is a mid round prospect? I would think he's a 2nd rounder.
The clearest sign that I have seen to date that we will be drafting Owamagbe Odighizuwa
I think that Ali Marpet is going to be taken with #64 overall (maybe a small trade back) which will be early and seen as a reach but he will end up being the starting LG for the next 10 years. I'm high on this kid and I see him as a Belichick pick.
Surprised they aren't meeting with Erving too.It's interesting that non FSU interviews are being described as "with Patriots" and the two FSU interviews (Jackson, Hart) as "with Dante".

One thing to bear in mind is that each team is limited to 60 interviews so the more they do at one position does suggest the level of interest. Also, think about the projected grades of the prospects they are interviewing - that might suggest how the team are viewing the value of drafting that position. For example, they interviews a lot of first and second round WRs the year they drafted Dobson.

I agree I just think he maybe a Vollmer type pick.I'm high on him too, but I'm hoping for the Pats taking him in the 96-101 range. 64 seems a bit high right now.
@MikeSilver
I was told by one GM and one HC that Georgia RB Todd Gurley refused to let combine doctors examine his surgically repaired knee Thursday...
@MikeSilver
I am told that it is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a player not to allow doctors to examine him at combine, as Gurley did... [/quote

Another thing I've noticed is that sometimes they draft a teammate of players they've interviewed. It makes you wonder if they used the interview to find out inside scoop on other players form a teammate's perspective...Granted at an SEC school, that is not much of a stretch with many players drafted but IIRC it has happened at a few of the smaller lesser known schools...The Pats also scout players in the draft so they'll have more to go on if they're ever waived or released years later.
UCLA DE Owa Udighizuwa will meet with the Patriots tonight.
Owa Odighizuwa said "everything checked out" with the Medicals this morning. Said he is good to go, hips showed full range of motion
Houston DL Joey Mbu met with the Patriots last night. Joked that his best position is slot receiver.
Bud Dupree says he met with Patriots yesterday.
The Patriots will hold a formal interview with Washington OLB Hau'oli Kikaha tomorrow night.
Pats met today with Danny Shelton NT, Washington cornerback Marcus Peters, Washington linebacker Shaq Thompson, Virginia defensive end Eli Harold, and Alabama safety Landon Collins

Danny Shelton is going to cost a lot to get him. Top 10 easily.
