Flashback: My first 2013 mock draft Post-Super Bowl
In this, my first mock draft of the 2013 right after the Super Bowl, I had both Dobson and Boyce. It just goes to show that research is overrated I guess…
Q: What do you feel is your strength as a player?
JB: I’m really smart so I think I can pick up things pretty quick. I see a lot of things before they happen, so I think my mind is what’s working for me a lot of times.

Josh Boyce to Patriots: How Does the Wide Receiver Fit with New England?
Josh Boyce to Patriots: How Does the Wide Receiver Fit with New England?
Really like this pick for the Pats. Perfect complimentary piece to Dobson and Amendola.
Like that the Patriots have double dipped at receiver, and with two guys who can help outside the numbers. The lack of viable threats there has really hampered the offense in the biggest games. Certainly like the speed and the smarts on Boyce. He won’t see the field if he doesn’t catch or block well, but those are things that, hopefully, can be refined. Hearing from a lot of scouts that Boyce’s foot fracture likely caused his drop from about a third-round level. A good prospect with a lot of potential with the type of skills that are needed in this offense.

Solid overall build with a muscular upper body and strong legs. Lines up outside and in the slot. Displays very good hands. Excellent first three steps off the line to challenge corners, shakes them off the line and has enough speed to get a step down the field. Stems every route in the tree with foot quickness that college corners can’t handle, does not have to slow down significantly to make a cut. Tracks the ball well over either shoulder, and shows a good job of high pointing the football in contested situations. Creates space downfield with an arm extension. Tough to bring down after the catch because of his low center of gravity and strength. Aggressive run blocker with the strength to negate his man and stick with the block. Willing to attack safeties stepping up inside if uncovered.

“One of the most explosive edge rushers in this draft. He’ll line up, stick his hands in the dirt and get his hands in the quarterback.” – Mike Mayock
