Ian Logue
It was a busy week as New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick met with the media on Monday out in Arizona for the annual coaches' breakfast, which as usual, was relatively entertaining, yet Belichick remained in midseason form when it came to his replies.

"...Jonathan Mingo – 6’2?, 220lbs – “Jonathan Mingo is a player that does a lot of things well but nothing exceptional. He is an X-outside receiver and an eventual No. 1. Second-round type of player for a team looking to get a good value on day two.” – Read More From the 33rd Team
Watching the tape, it’s hard not to like Mingo, who has a big frame and terrific speed. He’s a guy who is unbelievably athletic and has terrific acceleration, and is incredibly smooth in his movements.

He’s also incredibly strong. Quite a few of his highlights included him making some pretty impressive contested grabs, often overpowering the defender while coming away with the football.

He also played against pretty good competition in the SEC, going against the likes of LSU in 2022 where he finished with 4 catches for 68 yards (17.0 avg) in their meeting this past season. Most Mock Drafts have him in the 3rd or 4th round, although his stock does seem to have been rising as of late."

- Yeah this is my choice in the 4th round if we haven't yet taken a WR by then, a distinct possibility... If he himself is available by then, that is.


1) Who takes over for Devin McCourty?

- I'd give Shaun Wade first crack at FS, because it's obvious the coaches don't believe in him (and for good reason likely) as a Boundary CB.


2) Will Jack Jones pick up where he left off prior to his suspension?

- Tariq. Woolen.


3) Do the Patriots have enough at CB?

- No. Obviously.


4) Can they fix the offensive line?

- Not with either Reiff or Brown at LT they will... Anderson's competent & athletic, but his best fit here is as a LT/LG backup.


5) Who will emerge behind Rhamondre Stevenson?

- Ty Monty ****ing Sucks; just pretend that he's not even in the building.
Between Strong, the New Harris & Jimmy Robinson, we still need a 3rd-Down RB... My solution: Northwestern's Evan Hull, who could be available as late as the second half of Day 3.
