[Give Kraft A Hand]

Nice. Special teams is going to be awesome. Hope he can return kicks.

The only thing I could find about Malula:

New England Patriots: Caash Malula, LB, Wyoming - BELICHICK'S DOG Grade
Caash Malula is not on my list anywhere, and I have more than 600 people on my list. I'm not even sure if he's a real person. Nice try, Bill Belichick's dog.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Good speed actually. I'm intrigued

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Come on at least be honest.

You like the way this team is set up for this year?

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Considering Edelman is 34 & Sanu has 1 year left on his deal, the team’s internal evaluations on Harry & Meyers appear to be optimistic.

Next year they have a ton of cap space, I think they load up on proven veterans next year and gives Studham a year to grow into the position.

 

[Sfpat]

It's hard to imagine he could stick, even as a core special teamer. Pats have too many of them already

 

[Bill Lee]

Anyone up for waiting another 26 picks to see what STer will be our next pick?

 

[mgteich]

come on, if you're going that route at least be alliterative. Lose for Lawrence.

I thought that it was Tank For Trevor

 

[manxman2601]

I presume this is the annual special teams ace

Yup

IS BB drunk making these pick? Not a very good draft if you go by the ratings and the boards.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Here's my idea about why we aren't drafting WR. Our WR depth chart entirely isn't bad - we have a lot of guys there, even some young guys. We just have underwhelming top 3 guys. Right now, the room would be Edelman, Sanu, Harry, Myers, Byrd, Lee, Olszewski. 3 of those guys were drafted/undrafted last year. To draft a player this year, we would need an upgrade over any of those players (with a year of experience). Otherwise it's a wasted roster spot. Honestly, the idea now should be trade for a higher-end WR who could top off the depth chart rather than add more bodies through the draft who have no means to contribute.

As of right now Meyers is WR4.

That's not terrible

 

[Nunchucks]

We need to learn more about him. Special teams and perhaps a guy who can work get himself some snaps when the Patriots want more speed on the field.

Next year they have a ton of cap space, I think they load up on proven veterans next year and gives Studham a year to grow into the position.

Giving Stidham a below average WR group his first year could force him to work on fundamentals rather than have his WRs bail him out for bad throws. May be good in his long term development.

PATS - Cassh Maluia - LB - Wyoming

Forget the cap, they're going to use up the alphabet at this rate

...which BB gives two ****s about.

 

[HailHydra]

Heck Meyers has the most chemistry with Stidham so we really don't know how good he can be. WR4 seems like the floor for Meyers.

@ashley1992 , sounds like your perfect Elandon Roberts replacement....

 

[ashley]

We have had the greatest dynasty in the history of this sport, probably in team sports...I think people have unrealistic expectations.

You like the way this team is set up for this year?

 

[iapatsfan]

And 8 years is surely not enough time to fairly evaluate your talent evaluation ability. That 2014 team still a 7-9 team at best?

Minus Brady (like now)...probably more like 5-11.
