Players and Their Agents, Thinking About Devon Still

[State]

There was a lot of talk last year about the Patriots not being interested in drafting JJ Watt because of his agent, Tom Condon.

I guess it's thought there's bad blood between Belichick and him. It's said it goes back to Ben Watson and his then-agent Condon demanding a longer deal with more guaranteed money up front, which wasn't really workable from a team standpoint because of the salary cap.

So should we take a look at what players Condon represents and factor that in? Maybe.

But with Devon Still, an excellent fit with our defense going from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and back again, who has signed Drew Rosenhaus, that seems to bode well. He has the quickness to play a 1 gap in the 4-3 and the strength and sand in the pants to leverage 2 gap responsibilities in the 3-4.

Really an ideal player with his size, production, and versatility. As of right now, he is projected to be available in the late first round.

How important are the agents? I figure between t[w]o closely rated players their respective agents do enter the picture.

There's no way in hell Devon Still will be available in the late 1st round. Feel free to bookmark and rub this post in my face if it happens.

As far as I know Condon is the only agent the Pats don't deal with...it would be nice to see a list of his clients for the upcoming draft whenever that becomes available...
