No need to continue posting about the draft.. Capt and I agree on something..NFW I'm giving up that much - if anything at all - for him.
Safest bet on OT BB would be interested in
I listened to Next Pats Pod - interesting interview with Jim Nagy, @JimNagy_SB - who runs the Senior Bowl. Gave us a tip last year on Duggar being a potential fit to NE.
In this interview he had a couple interesting tidbits (paraphrased below)
Q: WR?
A: 31 flavors of receivers, guys for any position you want. Demetric Felton from UCLA is a RB, but would be a great pass catcher in NE in the mold of James White and Kevin Faulk. Worked exclusively as WR at the Senior Bowl & was effective in the slot and outside. Good route savvy, knows how to get open, natural hands.
Q: Cade Johnson? Can he play outside too, or mainly slot?
A: more of a slot. Came into Senor Bowl as 5/6 rounder - had great week. Great separation / quickness & incredible toughness in the middle. Should be good NFL slot right away.
Q: Player on / off field who stands out as NE's kinda guy?
A: Ritchie Grant, UCF Safety. Versatility - SS/FS flexibility. Opportunistic. Tackles in space. Came to Senior Bowl and was repp'd at corner a bunch (can do nickel). Great energy, competitive, loves the game. Very different from Duggar - cool player for the Patriots.
Also, they ran a mock draft and Phil Perry took Gregory Rousseau EDGE from Miami - interesting.
@reamer What round would they go in?Sign me up for Grant and Felton any day.
Both have been on my board for a min. I remember you mentioning Felton a few weeks ago as a White replacement.Sign me up for Grant and Felton any day.
Love the sound of both. Wonder if Grant will be picked at some point between 15 and 47. Obviously BB may just move backwards and take him with the new pick.Sign me up for Grant and Felton any day.
