What comp picks are the Patriots potentially in line for in 2019: Possible Losses: Nate Solder (Giants 4 years 60 million, 3rd Rounder) Malcolm Butler, (Titans 5 years 61 million 3rd Rounder) Dion Lewis, (Titans 4/20 6th rounder (maybe a 6th) Danny Amendola, (To Dolphins) 2/12 (5th) Adrian...

I'm a collegiate soccer official. Today was my first pre-season scrimmage/game of the year. It was two D-3 women teams playing. I thought the game went well, everyone stayed healthy, the coaches got some good tape, I worked the rust out of my legs, and no one made an amazingly horrendous...

Traditionally, when a player is suspended, the player is paid by the team and then the same sum is donated to a charity in the player's name to make the tax implications of the suspension without pay clean. That is in the CBA, and that also means the team that has a suspended player loses cap...

What are people's expectations for ideal playing time for front seven defenders. Let's assume no injuries and the Patriots play 5DBs at least 60% ofthe time. Chandler Jones -- 90% -- get him off the field only for breathers and blow-outs Mayo --- 90% get him off the field only for breathers...

Just want to throw this placeholder post up for the 2015 draft in order to track what the Patriots may expect to see in terms of Comp picks next year. Eligible Free Agents lost: Aquib Talib (6 years 56 million to Denver) Dane Fletcher (??) 1 year low salary to Tampa Bay Brandon Spikes (1...

For the dedicated camp watchers -- who are the players in Patriots camp right now that are currently projected to be on the bubble but are good enough/valuable enough to other teams to be worth a discussion about a trade for a conditional 7th rounder? Brandon Bolden? Anyone else?

Let's track the players who may be taken into consideration for compensatory picks next year: Losses: Welker (AAV 6 million) Chung (AAV 3 million) Woodhead ( unknown) Thomas (AAV 3.5 million) Gains: Amendola (AAV 5.5 million) D. Jones ??? (not sure if players eligible for RFA tenders...

It is that time of year again when the draft board becomes a combination of useful resource and giant pissing match. One of the major pissing matches is the “success” of a draft, drafting strategy or particular player. A major source of conflict is the many versions of “Success” that posters...

How should we categorize how the Patriots look at what types of players are considered a "3rd round value" or a "7th round value" or a "high 1st rounder". We know that the Patriots definately grade against both the current year relative scale and against an absolute scale. There was a comment...

This is a placeholder thread for Practice Squad 2012 signings, cuts, contracts and speculation. The Patriots have 8 slots available as of Friday, 8/31/12 at 10:00pm EDT. Who makes it? Here are my bets: Jeff Tarpinian ILB/ST Eric Kettani FB/RB --- Patriots have invested some serious time...

One of the constant pissing matches is what defines successful drafting. There are some posters in this forum (and I assume any other professional sports fans forums) that maintain anything less than hitting on 100% of picks is absymal failure that can only be corrected if the Patriots hire...

Let's think about perspectives on a draft. If in the second year from a draft, out of the team's top five picks, there are two players who have had an Pro Bowl level season, another solid starter, one MEH 53 roster filler, and a cut, is that a good draft? It is not the 1974 Steelers...

One of my thoughts on the draft is to think two years out. The Patriots definately draft for immediate need, but they also attempt to draft for second year need. This post is an attempt to look at the current roster and current contract situations to project what the 2013 Opening Day starting...

I'm a Patriots fan living in Pittsburgh, so I have had a good decade as my #1 and #2 teams have won half the Super Bowls and been in 70% of them. One of the common themes I see on the Patsfans draft board is the wish that the Patriots drafted like the Steelers. The Steelers evidently have a...

Instead of pissing each other off about the strengths/weaknesses/wisdom/follies of the 2011 draft, I want to take a look at the position groups that the Patriots may have needs to draft in 2012. I know this is early as there is no CBA and there is no free agency period where an area of current...

Figure I might as well start this thread. Oakland, lost to Tennessee, record 0-1, 1st round pick between #1 and #16 Carolina, lost to Giants, record 0-1, 2nd round pick between #33 and #48 Saints beat Vikings, record 1-0, 6th round pick 180s or 190s

Using Reiss's info (offense here, defense here), the youth movement is readily apparent. The defense started five first or second year players, and another three third year players, with only Wilfork and Wright on their non-rookie deals. The offense was a little bit older as only three first...

The Pats just picked up a back-up offensive guard for a conditional low round draft pick. We are entering a period where good teams, at least, have more NFL competent players in camp than they have roster spots on the active squad or a clear path to the practice squad. The Patriots have a...

Have the Patriots in the Belicheck era ever had this many first or second year players projected to start in their base offense and base defense in the first game of the season? On offense, assuming a base of 3 WR, 1 TE and 1 RB, we are looking at Edelman, Vollmer and one of...
