Is Dez Lewis still available?

I haven't seen him mentioned on twitter yet.

 

[Love The Drake]

I hope we add at least one more athletic freak project at receiver.

Blaine Gabbert is the winner as he will start when CK goes on IR!

Nah, good to see Cleveland staying around. Will be nice if he develops!

They better have 2 beds in that hospital room.

Could get upfield when in college. Explosive at So.Miss, not GB. Seems like Pats are investing in those types lately

Rotoworld's draft guy.

Didn't Thorton play with Jamie Collins and enter the NFL the same year?

Yes and no. Was drafted in 2014.

Stork still has to prove he can beat AFCE D-lineman? I agree health is a concern, but he has nothing left to prove as far as production goes.

I have to admit that I don't see how letting go of 5th and 6th rounders constitutes "major busts" as well.

Yes he has a lot to prove. AFCE D-lineman with 2 rookie guards on both sides. As much as we all were against Connoly and Wendell i must say that they were solid.
We can evaluate Stork after this year performance.

4th and 6 rd bust, because BB didnt draft earlier O-liners in last 3 drafts
why i am concerned bout those 2 picks as busts?
-Vollmer aging and cap money. Fleming should replace him next year.
-I still think that Urschell could be very good guard. He doesnt has a chance to prove in Ravens super O-line.
-2 OT backups who can be pluged in, Cannon was solid Vollmer replacement and maybe even Solders, and second backup is worth a lot. SB path is long, injuries happen.
-This year draft with 2 guards in 4 rd. Are they ok or Fleming like. I hope for the best, but we could get some guys earlier.

But last year i was barking on BB decision on Devey and O-line and they won SB. So this is just me barking.

We're not going to agree here. You are placing far too much emphasis on who he has around him, the guy is the real deal. If he's not good enough to cover for two traffic cones next to him, that isn't really a reflection on Stork. Or do you think that Connolly and Wendell were so dominant last year that any C could have come in and done as well?

You won't get any disagreement on wishing they worked out, it is the "bust" term that I don't think has merit.

I think Stork was out for the BAL game.

STork wasnt present

Stork handled Baltimore (Ngata) and Seattle (Bennett) in the two biggest games of the year. I agree - he's got nothing to prove.

Stork didnt play agains Ravens
After Cliff Avril went out in 4th quarter, O-line handled Bennett, and they have Brady pocket magic, Edelman the great and Veeren. Quick releases. There was no run game, like in the other games where we didnt face colts D-line.

The lack of run game was Stork's fault? Doesn't the fact that the Ravens game was the worst rushing performance all year indicate otherwise?

I understand O-line as a whole unit not one player. All 5 of them has to be on the same lvl. And last year they clicked together, but at the end i didnt like run performance against Packers, wasnt impressed at SD, whole performance in second Jets game.

You won't get any disagreement on wishing they worked out, it is the "bust" term that I don't think has merit.

agree maybe too harsh, but I still think that this year games against AFCE will test our O-line heavily, so one G out of last year 4th and 6 th round should be starter this year.

Kline as G and brutal Ravens D-line.
Lets end this debate. Kid won SB i like him and he is tough as hell. LAst year when he was in camp he sent girlfriend home explaining: I have to get all of distraction away.
I like him but that doesnt mean that he is superstar.
He has to prove this year and that is it

Just seen that he's signed on to the Bills' practice squad.

Zach Moore has signed with the Vikings practice squad, per source.

Fleming is gonzo, buddy.

That sucks, but makes sense for him. Concordia is right there in the twin cities.

Patriots current practice squad:
S King
ED ****son
LB Fleming
TE Cleveland
WR Thompkins
OL Barker
CB Swanson


That's 7. Last 3?

 

[patsinthesnow]

I'd take Phillip Sims on the PS. One of the more impressive QBs this preseason. A rookie too. Surprising the Cards cut him in favor of Barkley.

Connoly Wendell and STork clicked last year.

Last 3 should be all DE cause we are lack of them with only 8 on 53

CB Coleman is on seattle PS so he ll be fine there and pats can sign him if needed
i would like Okoye, one O-lineman and myabe Morris

Okoye signed with the Cardinals I believe.
