Welcome to the New England Patriots Geneo Grissom

[PATSNUTme]

I like this pick. he can be an edge rusher in a 4-3 and a OLB in a 3-4. Another guy that BB can use in various situations. He could even be moved to ILB.

a 5th round grade with one of the last picks in the 3d round isn't the worst thing in the world. I can be on board with this.

Still can't believe what we did in the 2nd. F***

I wonder if Grissom is a combination of Hightower insurance and a future Nink replacement. Dropped into coverage almost as much as rushed the passer.

Depends on who is doing the grading. I see his "grade" of 5.33,in the mix of being a late 3rd- early 4th.

With C. Jones, Nink, Buchanan, Moore, Sheard and Bequette and now Grissom, that's a lot of bodies. Don't know if he is going to see a lot of playing time this year.

Collins ran a 4.64, Hightower a 4.68. Grissom a 4.81. I don't think he's an off-the-line defender.

 

[Matt991]

I'm ok with this pick. He can play DE and LB. Would be great to see him play a Vrabel role in red zone offense situations.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Highly doubt we will draft any more d line.
Now can we focus on offensive line and receivers.
Is there a defensive back out there with freakish athleticism who went to a small school flying under the radar at all?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Maybe he can be like a Watt.

Maybe he can be like a Watt.

Probably as much chance of this as Geno passing Brady for SB titles. Then again you never know.

 

[Bobs My Uncle]

Grissom sounds like a seriously versatile player who should fit in perfectly in this defense. I am VERY excited about this years front 7.

 

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Maybe he can be like a Watt.

I'll probably regret this, but can you explain what it is you are trying to communicate here?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Big guy Watt catches touchdowns, rushes the Passer plays in the state of Texas.
Ring any bells?

 

[Canuck]

Probably that he has also played some TE as well being a defensive player might be a factor in him being drafted. Belichick like players who can play multiple positions. Probably not a starter but can be coached to be a backup at multiple positions.

 

[scott99]

He certainly fits the bill as a Pat's draft choice. MCL injury last year, stress fractures in both feet in 2010 and 2012. He's a combination of Easley and Dobson, can chat with them on both injury types.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Bill seems pretty stoked on the picks...

 

[Gator Mike]

Is it me, or are Grissom's measurables scarily similar to Rob Ninkovich and Roosevelt Colvin?

Bill Belichick says Geneo Grissom had as good of a workout at TE as team saw. Pats not looking at him as a TE, but highlights athleticism

Bill Belichick referred to Geneo Grissom as an "interesting player" in pointing out all the different roles he's played on defense.

Belichick seems excited/intrigued about Grissom and his possibilities

Thank god we spent a 2nd round pick on a slow safety who "should be able to contribute in the kicking game". Should line up next to Tavon Wilson on special teams. We are the ONLY team to draft special teams players in the 2nd round.
