A look into the future,who do you see as the next big thing in New England?

I see Brandon Spikes as a solid ILB for years and could be better than anticipated,he gets my vote.

I choose Grankowski. Spikes is my second choice.
 
Mesko is a wild choice and probably the 7th rounders are more worthy but there are players like Ray Guy who come along every once in a decade or two who could be special
 
To me it's between both Gronkowski and Spikes. However, I'm giving the slight edge to Spikes. He looks like he'll become a leader on the defense, I just think he'll make a bigger impact on the team.
 
Since theres no rule against rival fans voting I say Spikes. He strikes me as a game day type player not combine guy. He is a little bit of a dirtbag, SOB which you need to be a really good LB IMO. I think he has a career which he isnt a perrenial pro bowler or Superstar but a tier or two below that where he is good, underrated and does dirty work.

MR.Hernandez will shock people, he might be a little short but he has Tom brady throwing him the ball, he will eat up lb's especially the 3-4 linebackers in the division
 
I think Spikes has the biggest upside so I'll go with him but Gronkowski isn't too far behind either. I also think Spikes has a nice leadership skill which is hard to find.
 
I was a major Spikes hater before yesterday. Now, I think that he is an ideal complement to Mayo in our system, so I like the pick.

I voted Gronk though.
 
I voted Spikes, but I believe Hernandez is gonna be a big time player for us.
 
I believe that Mesko will become an interstellar star in NE; back up the whole bit with some serious performance. We'll see...

Of course, high performers at his position (P) typically play for a long time...lots of value here; possibility of a long career.
 
I see all three of the 2nd-rounders as lunch-bucket kinds of guys. Gronk's upside is combining the best aspects of Grahambo and Christian Fauria, which is pretty darned good. Spikes' upside is Tedy Bruschi with a longer prime. Cunningham's upside is Mike Vrabel without the TE moonlighting.

I'm going to go with McCourty, however. His upside is Ty Law.

I voted Spikes. For some reason Spikes and Mayo just sounds right. Hopefully it'll be McCourty though.

i said Grankowski, cause he will catch lot's of TD's from brady, and i think spikes will be very good to
 
Gronkowski.... Spikes..... Zoltan
 
I believe that Devin McCourty will help us a lot, specially in the ST. I hate when Brady always start around the 20's, besides i want to see a field goal block. Spikes will be a beast as well, and i hope that we use Gronk a lot, he is 6'6', Brady can't miss him.
 
You guys are no fun, Zoltan should be winning this hands down.
 
Very tough, but I'm going with my gut and saying Spikes.
 
Tough choice for me as a Gator fan, and as I find out more about the ones I'm not that familiar with, the more I like. But in the end, I went with one of my Gator binkies and my hometown boy, Aaron Hernandez.
