In the main forum there is a "vigorous" debate going on regarding BB being a good draft/talent evaluator. I think the root of the disagreements come from the expectations associated with player based on draft position, and what constitutes a "bust." Based on that premise I quickly put...

Kiper re-grades '11 drafts - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston Gives the Pats a C- for picking a future starter at OT in Solder, OG in Cannon, a promising CB in Dowling, Ridley and getting great value in Mallet in the 3rd. I usually don't bash commentators like Kiper because I think...

I took a look at the stats today and I am wondering if the Pats defensive struggles are schematic, personnel, or a product of the teams they have faced. 3 of the team the Pats have played are in the top 10 of the league in total yards, Chargers, Raiders and Bills. Miami is 16th. All of the...

AFC East Blog - ESPN http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/scouting Insider Content 9 of the Top 200 players in the league. Guess this goes against the media crowning the Jets the most talented and it goes against the idea that the Pats can't draft.

Ty Warren injury latest concern on New England Patriots' lines - ESPN Boston With the injuries/non-participation issues going on with the DL I wanted to pose a question to the board. Will the Pats be forced to go to more 4-3 because of the injuries? Gerrard Warren and Lewis are both...

At the risk of appearing pedantic. I am a frequent reader and infrequent poster but I have noticed a trend in a lot of the to Moss or not to Moss thread, the LoMo is made of glass threads, the BB can't draft threads, and last but not least the sky is falling threads. Personal insults...

Living here in the Capital of the Confederacy.

I have been thinking a lot about the draft recently and though most people are expecting the Pats to take an OLB with their first round pick and consider safety a need because of the loss of Rodney. First to state the obvious no one except BB knows what BB thinks and the rest of us are just...

We are all salivating over the chance to trade Cassell and get extra picks, and I expect a trade to happen. So I ask this, how many rookies can we expect to make the team? From Mig's the Pats have 50 players signed through next year and probably 10 of those are on the bubble. There will be a...

During the draft I read a lot of conversations on these forums about players that would be great for the Pats. There were a lot of binkies out there. Now is the time to come clean, how is your binky (that didn't get drafted by the Pats) doing? Though I didn't comment much I liked Keith Rivers...

If the Pats make the playoffs I expect Cassel to get looks from teams that need a starting QB in the offseason. I find it unlikely that the Pats will be willing to shell out starter money for their back up QB and the Pats will end up with a compensatory pick for Cassel. What team do you...

http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/phillip-merling?id=778 I have an indirect connection with Merling. I work with his aunt in VA. From his NFL.com profile he looks to have great size and is a great athlete with versatility. He was a prep school TE. I am not sure of his combine...

I am looking at all the mock drafts and am left wondering, with all of the picks the Patriots have on Day one, how many rookies can make the team? We have a spots at: OLB (Colvin's Slot) ILB? CB (Asnste's Slot) CB (Gay's Slot) TE (Brady's Slot) WR (Stallworth's Slot) I think the 3rd...

I've been looking at a bunch of these mock drafts and I think that the Falcons are the wild card to how the draft shakes out. Most sites and people agree that the pre-combine top 5 in no particular order shake out as: Chris Long Glen Dorsey Darren McFadden Jake Long Matt Ryan...

I have been thinking about this and I have decided that the Colts are equivalent to the Atlanta Brave. Lots of division titles 1 World Series. Peyton Manning is A-Rod. Tons of Talent, great in the regular season, complete choke artist. Thoughts?

I noticed last night that BM was on the field quite a bit last night and he wasn't invisible. On a night when the Pats secondary was having problems covering the Jags receivers BM seemed to have a pretty good night. The two plays that made me take notice were: 1. The hit he put on the...

First of all I would like to thank Miguel for his site, but in going through his FAQs some of the links (specifically the falcons.com links) were broken. Does anyone know if those referenced are located anywhere else on the web? Thanks for the help.

<rant> I have avoided commenting on the 72 Dolphins for various reasons. The first and most important being that until Saturday night the Pats hadn't gone undefeated in the regular, and almost as important is that Morris and his kind general don't desreve my attention, but I just saw Mercury...

I am lucky enough to work out of a home office and I have been listening to the game analysis by the national media (ESPN). I have heard over and over to beat the Pats you need to pressure Brady. I may be ignorant, but isn't this the game plan for beating practically any team? I...

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2007/11/16/coach_of_year_tricky_issue/ When I read this my thoughts were if the Pats go undefeated then BB deserves the award and if he doesn't get it then I would consider it a great injustice to BB. I assume BB is like his player...
