***DISCLAIMER*** THIS IS NOT WHAT I PREDICT THE PATRIOTS WILL DO, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD PERSONALLY DO.
Its a sad time for the Patriots and the end of an era with Tom Brady gone. We all knew it was coming eventually but it still hurts. I was fully prepared to go all in with Brady for 2 more years...
The direction the Patriots take this off-season will obviously be completely dictated by what happens with Brady. I don't believe the dynasty is over yet and I'm not ready to settle for just being competitive. I may just be a spoiled Pats fan, but while Brady can still play my focus is on...
Very sad, RIP

Per @FieldYates & @AdamSchefter, Patriots have signed free agent LB Brandon Spikes to a 1-year deal. Spikes spent the 2014 season Buffalo.
There might be a few surprises here but this is a mock based on rumors, reports, gut feeling and just some common sense. This is purely my opinion.
1. Hou- DE- Jadaveon Clowney- South Carolina
This pick looks like it’s between Clowney and Bortles and to me that is a no-brainer. You take BPA and...
The National Football Post took a look at the efficiency of all 32 teams drafts over the past 10 years. It is a very simple approach, admittedly oversimplified that looks at starts in relation to draft picks to determine efficiency. While it does have its flaw I was shocked to see the Pats...
This is a mock that combines what I think will happen in the draft with what I would do at the Pats picks. I didn’t not mock any players so they would fall to the Pats, this is honestly how I see it playing out (obviously it won’t play out like this it’s just my opinion). As a draft guy I love...
Recently I’ve been trying to look at how to improve the defense, but instead of just looking at drafting or signing the most talented players, I’ve been looking at which scheme would best suit the team and what additions we need to run that scheme. I think we should try and copy Seattle’s...
Mods, feel free to move this is its necessary, just trying to lighten the mood around here a bit.
We all know the issues surrounding the current replacement referees in the NFL. But I don’t blame them for what has happened this season, they simply don’t have the experience and are not...
I just listened to Jerod Mayo on PFW in Progress on Patriots.com Radio and I suggest you check it out. There wasn't any groundbreaking information, but you certainly see what a cool and funny guy he is. He is an extremely likable and seems really down to earth, and I'm certainly glad he is a...
Remaining Team Needs
So far through free agency, the Pats haven’t really done anything to change my view of their needs for the draft. They have done a good job adding depth and competition for positions, but they haven’t really done anything that surprised me or filled a hole I wasn’t...
*Like last time, it’s quite long and will go over a few pages so bear with me.
Round 1
1. Ind- QB- Andrew Luck- Stanford
No Brainer
2. Wash (Stl)- QB- Robert Griffin III- Baylor
See above
3. Min- OT- Matt Kalil- USC
This pick is between Kalil and Blackmon, and Franchise LT>>>>>>WR
4. Jax...
Over the past few days I've been working on a new mock off-season and looking at how the salary cap could affect things. This is probably going to go over a few posts so bear with me.
1st Round Mock Draft
1. Ind- QB- Andrew Luck- Stanford
2. Wash (from Stl)*- QB- Robert Griffin III-...
I know it hurts now, and it hurts bad. For me, this is worse than 07, because this year it was personnel. This year was for Mr Kraft and especially Mrs Kraft, and we came up just short. But after giving it a few hours to vent and gain some perspective, I am really proud of this team, and I am...
As you may know, valued forum member Off the Grid has decided to move on and stop posting here at PatsFans. I don’t feel it is my place to say why he has made this decision, but he did tell me that it is something he had been considering for a while. For the past, almost 2 years he has been a...
After watching the fantastic LSU-Alabama game, and seeing the heartbreaking loss suffered by the Crimson Tide, it got me thinking about the potential impact the next few games could have on the 2012 draft. As we have seen the past few years, the top of the draft has heavily skewed towards...
With less than 2 weeks until the draft this will be my second last mock of 2011. I will post my final mock a few days before the start of the draft and I may even do a full 7 rounds (yes I have time on my hands). My picks for the Pats haven’t changed too much recently, but much of the first...
Preview
The next major date to look at for the draft is April 6 when Judge Susan Nelson hears the injunction against the validity of the NFL Lockout. My guess is that she will rule the lockout invalid, meaning that Free Agency and Trades will be allowed sometime in mid-April (the injunction...
