Player Signing Patriots Post Draft Free Agents

[DaBruinz]

He's slow.. And not very strong. Umm.. Special teams only... Maybe?

I think they are happy to use Peppers and Dugger as their safeties and just use a CB in spot duty as FS when they want a more traditional FS look.

Mapu needs to find his role but I'm not sure FS is it.

Hawkins is a safety.

I mean with a name like Jett Bush... Who could possibly resist?

 

[DaBruinz]

With Bush, that's 10

It will be interesting to see if any of these are just mini-camp invites.

Marshel Martin - TE

Tight End? Really? Looks more like a Bourne to me.

 

[duc359]

No Kicker - I would have brought in one

 

[Sciz]

Somebody messed up. Martin and Lewis are with the Jets, not the Pats.

 

[Sciz]

His pick is at 11:06 here. Just a little fluky.

Thanks for the update.. I deleted it.

Bush looks like he could be someone who sits on the PS and ends up earning a spot via special teams.. Forcing guys like McMillan and Giles-Harris

cb - Mikey Victor - Tall (6'2 3/8), Slow (4.6), bad 3-cone (4.34)

@jmt57 Sorry you don't like facts posted about players that are signed.

3cone was actually 6.82, which is excellent for a 6'2.3" dude. Reminds me of Jakobi Meyers (6.87 Pro day 3cone) - Acceleration is decent from Shrine Bowl Zebra data, but there's this speed governor that results in low top end speed, which is NOT what I want in a DB. His fastest recorded speed at Shrine practices/game was 19.25mph. Might not have been moving all out... who knows.

He's got speed. 10.59 100m in HS (+4.2w so 10.79 equiv with no wind). Excellent agility with 4.12 20Shut and 6.80 2cone.

I'm really curious to see where Tyler Owens goes. Probably the most athletic person overall and 2nd fastest in this entire draft. Doesn't believe in outer space.

41" Vert, 12'2" Broad (1" short of record), 10.35 100m in HS (+1.9w), 10.01 100m also in HS (no wind reading, nw). 21.55mph measured in the Shrine Bowl practices/game.

The top 3 items are a sure thing and total about $14M. Roster bonuses will not all be hit so in all likelihood that’s probably closer to $2M. So that’s only $16M needed and they have about $40M left after that.

Replacing injured players doesn’t really mean a lot since no one is injured yet, and often replacements are low salary veterans. Usually only a few million are reserved for that. Extensions are mentioned but usually that doesn’t touch the cap in the current year. If anything it might reduce the current cap hit.

It's my ignorance but I don't recognise any of these guys. I don't get the same buzz with any of these compared to some players in previous years......could any realistically get on the team this year ?...who knows.

It doesn’t sound like we got any priority udfa. In fact, a lot of them are older, so they’re probably there to help build a culture this first camp rather than be part of the long term plans.

They’re all at positions that stand a puncher’s chance, though.
