PATRIOTS NEWS Mandatory Minicamp 6/9-11

[Brady85-23]

I think mcdaniels realized last year that demario wasn't a traditional NE slot guy. Maybe a field stretching slot. 1.47 10 yd split is elite. 4.44 40 39.5 vert 11'2 broad he might be on that troy brown Jules development timeline. Its been stated here already but the pats should wait til the end of training camp to make any move in case of injury. Whoever earns the spot earns it. Building a team a group of 5 or 6 wrs arguments can be made for boutte, demario, chism obviously mack and Kyle too. I was kinda gunning for NE to bring back diggs because he has all that experience and can play exclusively in the slot with AJ just opening up lanes. While i think it would work in a big way for drake it's not necessary I'm confident in the group here and would like to see more funds allocated to another edge, blocking TE and LB

1. I am and have been a big Boutte supporter

2. Boutte hasn't had to fight in a talent-crowded room yet.

It's hard to feel confident on his worth knowing that. Say he plays for the Pats this year, when we have Brown and Doubs. Would Boutte have as much opportunity/yards?

Probably not; but unless Stephon Diggs is walking through that door again, then what's best for the New England Patriots right now is that Booty remain inside the building as insurance for AJB/Doubs and as competition with Hollins for the #3 spot. I like keeping good players - especially at this position, after all these years - for as long as I can keep them.
