Are we ever going to see Bequette on the field? I’ve heard that BB has pretty much redshirted him this year… Maybe he’ll be a down the road replacement for Ninkovich? I really liked the Bequette pick and just hoped for more at this point. Certainly can’t complain about Jones and Nink at this point though.

Yeah you have to factor in Trevor Scott too who has seen about 15 snaps per game the last three weeks, spelling Jones and Ninkovich. I don’t think it’s out of the question that we see Bequette get some time over Scott, especially if he continues to be lackluster. But for the most part I think this is a red shirt year for him, though I did find his selection a clear departure from what we’ve seen from the Pats in recent drafts.

I’ve been wondering for years why they wouldn’t invest some high picks in guys who could get after the QB, instead of defensive backs. Bequette is clearly the new breed of defensive end that the Pats want, so he should definitely fit into the plans down the road.
