I don't know if it would be a shocker but I say Shane Vereen gets cut
yeah, not happening. MAYBE if Woody was still here.

Gotta luv Patsfans' theorizing.
2012 "Welker being phased out for Edelman"
2013 "Edelman being phased out by sundry rookies"

If youbthink Edelman gets the award for free passes, you're not reading much around here.How on earth can you say that any player "looked lost" when they played less than 2 plays a game?
It is certainly fair to say that he had no impact on last year's team and was unable to get on the field but evaulating his play when he really didn't play is ridiculous.
As far as "free passes" go that award goes to Julian Edelman, who despite contributing very little is routinely touted as a really good player.
Whether bequette wins a spot on this team will come down to whatever progress or lack thereof he has made this offseason, he is definitely on the bubble and it is hard to see him sticking if he hasn't developed himself enough to win real playing time this season, e.g...20% of their defensive snaps or more. If Belichick doesn't see that happening then i think Bequette is gone in favor of someone who can get on the field that much.
How about Edelman gets and stays healthy, but tj moe and Boyce become the surprise of training camp. All of which leads to, wait for it...................................Danny amendola gets cut on last day of TC.
Now there would be your shocker.
I don't have any axe to grind and your guess about me hating the pick, not surprisingly, is way off base. In fact, my disappointment in Bequette is based upon many of the reason you cite. He was, as you point out, a really good player in a great conference. I loved the pick and thought because he produced so much in the SEC and in the Cotton Bowl that he'd be a productive player early on. Hey, I have no problem with a player taking a little time to develop, but he showed nothing, I mean zippo. Nothing would make me happier than having Bequette blossom into what I thought he'd be. But, I'm as skeptical as one can be.He may be "making excuses" but you are actually making things up by claiming that he "looked lost" when he wasn't even playing. Not sure what you have against him but you certainly have an axe to grind. I'm guessing you hated the pick and wanted someone else because other than that I can't see what reason their is to hate on him. Plenty of 3rd round picks don't get much playing time early on and the question is whether or not they can develop into a player over their first few seasons. If they don't they are gone. Hopefully that isn't the case. Bequette is not a great athlete but he was a really good player in the best conference in college football, so I'm guessing the transition to the pro's wasn't that easy, if he can turn himself into a good pro he will have been worth the pick, if not, adios and people can ***** about the pick as they always do.

Conolly depending on Marcus Cannon (can/will he play Guard?) and some of these other young interior OL we've signed.
Edelman - Can he stay healthy? Can others get injured?
Dowling - Can he stay healthy?
Cunningham - Jones, Ninkovich, Francis, Buchanon, Bequette
Love - Wilfork, Kelly, Armstead, Forston?, Grissom?
