The Pats last 2 drafts have produced almost no impact players other than Jamie Collins and almost no help to the current offense. A review of the last 2 drafts and their offensive/defensive snaps in yesterday's game..... 2014 - D.Easley (16), J.Garrapolo (0), B.Stork (15), J. White...

From Reiss' report it looks like the defense will be without Haynseworth, Wright, Wilfork, Ellis, Spikes, Cunningham, Dowling, Brace, Deaderick and Sanders. Hard to get any read on the defense that will hopefully take the field Week 1. So many new pieces to puzzle and not much practice etc. to...

With the ever increasing bewilderment of why we do not bring in an outside pash rusher (no real pass rushers drafted, no free agents signed), it seems apparent that the club just can't seem to replace guys like Vrabel, Seymour, McGinest etc. Names like Adelius Thomas, Derrick Burgess, Gerard...

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the fact that Belichick is the head coach and also basically the player personnel guy and the uniqueness of this year's free agency being conduct in a week? Has to be hard to be running training camp and fulfilling his head coaching duties and also...

While still pretty young at a lot of key positions, our defense still does not grade out as well as the offense. Is it Championship caliber yet? DL - C Obviously, we have one of the best DL in the league in Wilfork. After that the questions abound. Can Wright and Ty Warren bounce back...

In looking at our current roster, it is interesting to note that our offense would seem to grade out position by position ahead of our defense. QB - A+ Obviously we have the NFL MVP, a very astute backup, and a potential young stud who may have one of the best arms in the NFL per Phil Simms...

Said that it is nice when you buy a new end table, but sooner or later you have to address the fact that your roof is leaking. Said we have no pass rush and this is why we don't win in the playoffs recently. Sooner or later it has to be addressed. Also compared him to Parcells who starting...

I abslolutely nailed last night by predicting yesterday AM that we would pick Solder and trade the 2nd pick and end up with 1 OL and no pass rushers at the end of the night. Piece of cake. Tonight, he will absolutely trade that 1st pick. We won't pick for at least 10-12 picks in the 2nd...

McCourty, Mayo, Merriweather, Maroney, Mankins, Wilork, Watson, Warren. All 1st round picks. Spikes, Cunningham, Gronkowski, Chung, Brace, Butler, Vollmer, Wheatley, C.Jackson, Marquie Hill, Wilson, Bethel Johnson. All 2nd round picks. See any Pro Bowlers in that group? Nope. Lets look at the...

The wizard once again couldn't help himself and was more concerned with putting picks in jars in the back yard than infusing talent. He would rather pick in 2nd round than 1st so as to not bruise his ego by getting stuck with a potential draft bust. McCourty, Mayo, Merriweather, Maroney...

The draft is always a frustrating night as a Pats fan as we always get our hopes up on all of these players and then the mad scientist goes to work and we bounce all over the board and trade for the future and sometimes don't even make a 1st round pick. Nonetheless, here we go again. My...

Funny how time begins to erode everyone's memories. Right after the Pats were blown up by the Jets everyone was in agreement that the woeful lack of a pass rush was our big glaring need and had to be addressed before this team would again be a serious Super Bowl contender. Now I am reading all...

Why in all the analysis of this game does the fact that we have absolutely 0 pass rushers not come up as the #1 reason why this team did not get it done this year? The fact that we can not generate any pressure on the other teams quarterback is why we are the worst team in the NFL in getting...

A few years ago when we couldn't beat the Colts, we decided that if we couldn't beat them, we would join them and change the team to a high powered team that thought offense first and defense second. We became a finesse team and rolled off a perfect regular season. The only problem is that...

A point to consider is the effect that the Pats dumping Moss like this will have on our future free agent signings. There was a day when the most coveted free agents would come into Foxboro and listen to the Belichick talk and sign before leaving. However, those days are gone. After seeing...

Mike and Mike just previewed the Pats. They were not very impressed with our club. Greenberg has us at 8-8 and Golic at 9-6. Greenberg said he thinks that Belichick is the best coach in the NFL but year after year he stockpiles picks and never makes any high picks and wonders if he doesn't...

I keep hearing that this guy is going to the Hall of Fame some day. Why is it that he just flat out dissapears in so many big games. Where the heck was he last night. Shouldn't Hall of Fame defensive ends be draped all over the QB week in and week out? There are plenty of pro bowl DE's that...

This defense didn't create them last year and it is even worse this year. Can't be an effective Super Bowl caliber defense without causing turnovers unless you can flat out overwhelm the other team with your talent on every drive like Chicago, Baltimore etc. We aren't able to do this with our...

I distinctly remember the week before the draft and having a conversation on this board about Javon Walker. He was looking to sign with a team and everyone was bemoaning his knee injury and saying it would take a year for him to truly come back and that we were ok with Caldwell. My point then...

Anyone have any idea what #'s are 2 top picks will wear in Pats blue. My 8 year old asked me and I confess that I have no idea when those decisions are made. Have they had an official visit to Foxboro for pictures etc?
