EXOS Combine<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first regional combine was conducted over the weekend by EXOS Training.\u00a0 Over 130 players took part in three locations in FLA, ARI, and TEX.\u00a0 The results and the video is sent to all 32 teams.\u00a0 They were not allowed to attend due to COVID restrictions.\u00a0 The results will be eventually be leaked but the few tidbits we have come from the player\u2019s agents.<\/p>\n

Rashod Bateman\u00a0WR Minnesota \u2013 Ran a sub 4.4 40 yard dash at the EXOS Combine.\u00a0 His hand time was 4.37 and the lazer time was 4.39.\u00a0 In 2019 he averaged over 20 yards per catch.\u00a0 Bateman measures 6\u20192\u201d 210 lbs and is the big X receiver the Patriots need to take the top off the defense with a deep threat.<\/p>\n

Milton Williams DT Louisiana Tech \u2013 Ran a reported 4.63 40 yard dash at 6\u20193\u201d 286 lbs.\u00a0 This kind of speed is going to get him noticed as a 3rd<\/sup> down pass rush specialist from the DT position.\u00a0 He also has the size \/ speed numbers to be a player that can hold the edge.<\/p>\n

League Schedule <\/strong><\/p>\n

Upcoming on March 15th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup> Free Agency starts.\u00a0 The new league year starts on the 17th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The legal tampering period starts on the 15th<\/sup>.\u00a0 That is when teams can talk (negotiate) with Unrestricted and Restricted Free Agents.\u00a0 The players agents will leak their player has agreed to a new contract even before the 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The first College Pro Day is scheduled for Friday March 5th<\/sup> at Kansas.\u00a0 Several more Pro Days are scheduled for the next week.<\/p>\n

Scouting the Top 5 QB\u2019s <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff Howe of the Athletic had an interesting article about the Patriots doing some heavy scouting on the top 5 QB\u2019s likely to be taken in the draft.\u00a0 \u00a0Not only are they trying to get to know these players in the chance that one falls to them at #15, but they also don\u2019t give away their draft strategy if they are not going to take a QB in the 1st<\/sup> round.\u00a0 Most teams and draftniks think the Patriots will fill a need and draft a QB.\u00a0 As Free Agency starts to fill out teams needs, the draft will begin to come into focus.\u00a0 My plan for the Patriots would be to sign a veteran QB and draft a QB to develop.\u00a0 I am a big proponent of letting the young QB to sit a year to learn the pro position.<\/p>\n

Cap Cuts \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest cap casualties are Kyle Van Noy and Kyle Rudolph.\u00a0 The Van Noy cut is a shocker.\u00a0 Miami cut him one year into a 4 year contract he signed last year.\u00a0 He made $15M from this contract (guaranteed).\u00a0 A surprise came out that the other $15M was only a guarantee against injury.\u00a0 I could see a reunion with Van Noy and the Patriots similar to the way Pat Chung came back from Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Kyle Randolph\u2019s cut from Minnesota was expected.\u00a0 The Patriots tried to acquire Rudolph last year.\u00a0 Would it be worth brining him in on a one year minimum contract?<\/p>\n

Mock Drafts <\/strong><\/p>\n

I will have my next Patriots-only mock draft towards the middle of the month.\u00a0 For the most part, 1st<\/sup> round draft projections are a waste of time at this point.\u00a0 I loved this quote by Jeff Howe in today\u2019s The Athletic article.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Mock Drafts are fun, they\u2019re about as accurate as a 10 Day weather forecast\u201d \u2013 Jeff Howe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
