I am interested in how Kevin Zeitler of Wisconsin does this week. Over 6'3" @ 315 lbs.

Anybody know why it seems like Andre Branch wasn't present at the weigh-in?

I'd like to see these two go for a hail mary jump ball.

Both are climbing my mental big board right now. Fuller apparently did well in practice.

Couple of guys with shorter arms:

Billy Winn: 31 3/8"
Courtney Upshaw: 31 1/2"
Mike Brewster: 31"

We've got interviews with Jeff Fuller and Brandon Thompson coming up soon. Should have a bunch more after the player's dinner tonight.

Good review of the North's practice by Tom Melton. in light of today's WR discussion, one to store away in that part of the brain reserved for the draft:

t was a pretty easy day for the receivers today, but I think the guy that stuck out most to me was TJ Graham (North Carolina State). He clearly has 4.4 speed (could run as fast as a 4.35 in my opinion) and his explosiveness and burst was on full display today. He created separation nearly every time I watched him run a route and he caught the ball cleanly every single rep I saw of him. He has the potential to be a HUGE riser this week, especially if he plays like this every day of practice. Obviously this was just one day, but this definitely showed the upside Graham has as a receiver. Don’t forget he’s also a valuable return man.

Hey, do you know why Andre Branch wasn't there today?

 

[manxman2601]

Hey, do you know why Andre Branch wasn't there today?

And any news on whether Patriots scouts spoke to anyone?

 

[NePatriots]

Hey, do you know why Andre Branch wasn't there today?

Didn't show up (yet, anyway) - not uncommon unfortunately. Haven't heard if he tweaked something or if it was agent-guided.

I feel robbed, I want to see him this week. But imo he shouldn't be allowed to participate now unless he has a really good excuse. You obviously shouldn't be able to just show up whenever you want to.

 

[NePatriots]

Just posted 11 interviews - including Vinny Curry, George Iloka, Mike Brewster, Leonard Johnson, Dwight Jones...

Would you say that these #s place Curry in or out of the possibilities at 3-4 OLB,
ass-u-ming of course that Bill still intends to draft front-7 players for a 3-4 base?

Outstanding work NEPD, utterly outstanding.

Hey, do you know why Andre Branch wasn't there today?

Tony Pauline is reporting that he was a last minute scratch due to a groin injury.

 

[manxman2601]

Some Patriot relevant updates from Tony Pauline:

TE Emil Igwenagu of UMass has looked terrific as a blocker this morning. He's lined up at both fullback and on the line as a tight end, and no one has been able to get by him. He's small, but tough and strong. Igwenagu just made a terrific catch in double coverage.

The one player we know the Patriots have shown some interest in.

Safety George Iloka of Boise State has had a quick start to the morning. He looks terrific in drills, displaying sound footwork in reverse and the ability to burst to the ball out of his plant.

OLB Shea McCLellin of Boise State continues to impress since making the move to linebacker. He destroyed several running backs and fullbacks this morning in pass-rushing drills in which he simulated standing up over a tackle.

 

[NePatriots]

Glad you find them useful BritPat!
