1. Interest in Dorsey and Ellis is very real. Also, have interest in Trevor Laws as maybe a late 2nd early 3rd round pick. They like his motor and the way he gains leverage with his size.
2. They still feel the same about Chris Long. He's a great kid with good but not overwhelmingly great talent. They like Gholston ALOT more as a prospect for OLB. In fact Long could fall to 8 or 9 depending on 3 teams. Not named New England, Miami and St. Louis.
3. They won't trade up in this draft and if Gholston falls they will consider, if Chris Long falls they still want to trade down. Only 1 player worth a trade up and he will be (Long) gone.
4. They are doing extra recon on O-Lineman and that is a VERY strong possibility in the 1st round. Because the depth and therefore value isn't as great as LB or CB.
5. They were very impressed with Keith Rivers visit, specifically his time spent in the film room and the terms "instincts and field savvy" came up.
6. On corners, There are 2 corners OFF the draft board right now. 1. They feel doesn't love the game enough to focus and dedicate himself to football although he's a talent. 2. Is from a small college and they don't like his football sense. The corner position is a good class and they might wait for early 3rd to address the position. (So don't say you weren't warned). They like their depth and flexibility at the moment. They also have another option there after the draft.
7. They will draft a RB in this draft that will replace Sammy Morris eventually. They feel Maroney is ready for more receiving opportunities and will improve in blitz pick-ups to play more 3rd downs going forward.
8. On WR they like a number of them but they want a versatile WR and will address this as well.
9. On Seward, they are still debating on an offer and the snag is whether they like the value of Seward for a 5th or do they feel the prospect will be there in the draft. In other words they want to keep the best possible flexability available going into the draft while improving depth. I think they will give him an offer and address LB in the draft on Day 2. (Don't be surprised if they don't take a LBer until Late Day 2 anyway. As in Late 3rd or later).
10. The team feels they don't have any glaring weaknesses going into the draft and they really like some of their depth and flexiblilty right now. I'm hearing "Don't be surprised" thrown around alot.
I don't post my knowledge of the team for self gratification. I post it for true Patriots Fans who want to know some inside information on their beloved team.
Pats fans this is a wonderful time and sit back and enjoy it. But, I want to warn you to not be surprised!! They are the best in the business for a reason.
