I didn't see it mentioned in here, and maybe I missed it, but Connor Shaw worked out with the Pats today. They're continuing to kick the tires on quarterbacks.

My favourite QB of this draft class

Or WR, or QB..... They've looked heavily at those positions too. I have no clue at this point, other than it won't be a long snapper!
The more and more I look at the DL class, it seems as if there is no "sure thing" coming out at either DT or DE this year. Many will say Aaron Donald in response but even he has question marks against the run.I was listening to an NFL Network podcast last night and two things were said that speaks to this issue. Firstly, talking about the WR class, Bucky Brooks was saying that pretty much all the first round eligible receivers, including Marqise Lee were better than Tavon Austin from last year. He, of course, went top 10. That would perhaps answer why we've been so interested in this first round receiver class - there's real value there this year. Secondly, Brooks also reported a conversation with a GM that said that this DL class was the worst he'd EVER seen. So, not a lot of value there. If they do go WR in the first round, this will be why.

@dpbrugler: 4th round center in my book RT @caplannfl: OT Wesley Johnson (Vanderbilt/6'5" 3/10, 297) had a private workout for the #Patriots today.
Yeah but apparently correlation doesn't equal causation and you're wrong, amirite?
Apparently so, according to the experts in that other forum. It must be mere coincidence.Yeah but apparently correlation doesn't equal causation and you're wrong, amirite?
Why, certainly. No reason why he should be wrong and you should be right.Apparently so, according to the experts in that other forum. It must be mere coincidence.
If we're talking about AJ, well he's never wrong. On anything.Why, certainly. No reason why he should be wrong and you should be right.
@BenVolin: I'm told that #Patriots Michael Lombardi went down to campus to work out Coastal Carolina RB Lorenzo Taliaferro today
Turns out this was a workout by BB himself and included a film session. BB was in town anyway for a half marathon so be careful not to give too much import to the news.
This might just be my favourite contact of the bunch. Or at least one of:
I think he's got more talent than a lot of people recognise. He's not a lead back but, like Blount, would be a tremendous complementary addition to a Ridley/Vereen RBBC.
He's got excellent hands, one of the best at the RB position. I actually wondered about him as a HB but then remembered he was only 6'. He looks bigger than that.Warming up to him. He can be a 3 Down back, got MUCH better hands then ppl think. He'll have a year with Ridley / Veeren to learn, then he should be ready.
