New England Patriots Mock Draft: 7-Round Predictions, Post-Scouting Combine
Our second mock draft is up at B/R. Post-combine edition…
Do you think Jeff Demps going back to track is a big loss?
Not really, the depth at running back is still fine. Could mean more of a chance that Woodhead returns, but I expected him to anyway. The only place it might hurt a bit is on kickoff returns where I was hoping we’d get something out of him. He was an intriguing player since he had so much speed but it’s not like he was going to be the 1A running back and carry the load. Would’ve been a nice little toy to play with but the Pats will be fine.
Welp I guess this is the only run we’ll ever see Jeff Demps make for the Patriots. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports he is going back to track. Whatevs…

Brady gets a $30 million signing bonus as part of the deal, and that will be paid out between now and early 2015. In addition, his $1 million base this year and $2 million base next year are fully guaranteed. As of now, his $7 million base in 2015, $8 million base for 2016 and $9 million base for 2017 are guaranteed for injury only. However, if he’s on the roster for the last game of 2014 season, the $24 million due from 2015-17 become fully guaranteed.

It’s still amazing to me how these kind of numbers get thrown around and meanwhile just about every single one of us will never see even a fraction of this kind of money ever in our lives. Oh well…

The Patriots have done an excellent job at finding a few players in each of the recent drafts and getting the most out of their rookie contracts. The players they over paid played well but just didn’t live up to their contract, and had Gronkowski and Hernandez just stayed healthy they would have no other issues. There are many reasons why New England has 10 or more wins in each of their last 10 years, and how they handle their salary cap is one of them.
