PatriotsFootballPlace.com: Historical Support Showing Difficulty in Projecting DE to 34 OLB
Good stuff here, shows why trading up for an OLB conversion project is dicey at best. I think Robert Quinn is the only one to even consider, and even then I’m skeptical. If someone reported that Quinn’s FBI is off the charts like Jerod Mayo it might make it a little more palatable for me, but I have yet to see any kind of report that even hints at that.
Holy Hoodie! The Brady Six looks epic! Not that I really care what the other six guys are doing now. My biggest question is will they be able to mention Chad Pennington tearing his ACL last week playing baseball.
You know whenever they bust out these Brady films you’re guaranteed to get these clips:
At least there’s definitely a shot of long haired Brady getting interviewed so it won’t just be all the old popular clips recycled yet again.
Either way my eyeballs will be pinned to the TV. April 12th. ESPN. Mark it down.
Great slideshow from Frenz, with pretty pictures! Hard to believe we’re just 22 days away from finally putting all the debate and analysis to bed.
The longer the mock draft the more and more ridiculous it becomes, but that doesn’t stop ESPN’s resident draft gurus Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay from doing three rounders. At least they don’t attempt the ultimate exercise in futility, aka the seven round mock draft.
Here’s who they have the Pats taking:
Instead of criticizing these picks (and I definitely don’t see all these guys as great fits) let’s just imagine that these are the actual results of who the Patriots drafted. Either way you get a sense of just how much talent the Pats are poised to add yet again this spring.
But clearly there are some divisive prospects on here. McShay’s draft alone would be great fodder for the podcast since Frenz would be psyched to get Watt, but scratching his head over Ingram.
Interesting that both mocks had Daniel Thomas and Marcus Gilchrist as selections, and along with Jonathan Baldwin make up the only three that aren’t on my big board.
Baldwin had some character flags that caused me to drop him. I believe there are better backs available than Thomas, though he’s big and seems like he would add a new element to the Green-Ellis/Woodhead backfield.
Gilchrist projects to safety but his lack of physicality is a big of a flag to me as well. There is definitely a need for a developmental free safety so perhaps Gilchrist could be a good fit, especially if he could play a little nickel corner as Wes Bunting believes he could day one.

Kinda feels like off-season Danny Woodhead day, so why not a little highlight package of him. Excited to see what he can do after a full year to digest the playbook and come in ready to contribute.
One of the biggest reasons I enjoy being a Patriots fan so much are special players like Wes Welker and Woodhead who might get overlooked by other teams, but BB finds a spot for them and allows their talent to shine. So much fun to watch…
