Like almost every other team, I think the Patriots hit a rough patch in the draft from 2006-2008. I think they have since come back very strong. The Gronkowski/Hernandez picks are game-changers. In the end, I think Bill Belichick has been overseeing a transition from an older team in 2007, and to turn it over and still win consistently, it is an impressive thing to see.

Letter From Camp 2 | Barstool Sports: Boston
Good stuff from Jerry Thornton as always…
With the premiere of Hard Knocks tonight we wanted to provide some linkage to the 5-part review we did of each episode of the Jets season of the show back in 2010. While I would love to see the Pats on Hard Knocks it’s safe to say it will never happen with BB in command, and I’m okay with that. At least we got BB’s Football Life.
Those these articles are a couple years old they still hold up to our high standard of making fun of the Jets.

Star performer of the day. Jerod Mayo. Probably long overdue that he lands in this category, as he’s had a strong camp. The linebacker caught the eye on Monday with disruptive penetration in 11-on-11 work, and overall strong work in the run game.

Rookie watch. Defensive end Chandler Jones continues to run with the top unit and is getting a lot of reps. … Ditto for linebacker Dont’a Hightower … Saw a lot of safety Tavon Wilson covering tight ends, which could be a niche for him on D.

Areas of intrigue at joint practice – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Should get a really good gauge on the rookies today and tomorrow, especially:
Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones vs. Saints tackles Jermon Bushrod and Zach Strief. Jones has already impressed in the early portion of training camp, and has the chance to continue to do so against a pair of powerful Saints tackles. Should the teams participate in a 1-on-1 drill with the offensive and defensive linemen, expects plenty of eyes to be on Jones.
