I have zero doubts about the outcome of this one. It’s so perfect,” Christensen said of Garoppolo’s union with the Patriots. “You have to know where you’re at in the equation, accept it, and then work like a crazy man to get great. That’s the kind of kid you want to coach.

“He’ll definitely be on the field this season,” Candelaria said. “There’s no reason why he wouldn’t be able to start right away. It depends how they want to bring him along. The Patriots do things the right way. “He’s functional to the point where if he had to play a football game today, he can. He’s definitely ready to go.”
Pats’ No. 1 pick Dominique Easley thrives on fire and passion | Boston Herald
Great must-read on Easley.
Overall, the last five years, 24 of the last 45 players the Patriots selected in the draft were college captains. That includes five of the nine members of the 2014 draft class, including Dominique Easley, Jimmy Garoppolo, Bryan Stork, Jon Halapio and Zach Moore. (In addition, Iowa’s Morris was a two-time captain for the Hawkeyes.)

In 2011 the offense was basically Welker,Gronk, and the other tightend. Then in 2012 it was Welker, Lloyd, and which ever tightend was healthy. Then it was Amendola, Edelman and Gronk when healthy plus which ever rookie felt like playing, Coming into 2014, if Justin Jones pans out and the rookies(not any more) step up, that’s a lot of formations and personnel they could use, do you think if all goes as planned we could see a more diverse and explosive offense than the previous years?
I certainly hope so. They have some interesting guys that they’ve added – LaFell, Gallon, James White, Justin Jones, and the UDFA running backs as well. Along with the second-year guys it’s just a question of who can stay healthy and find a role in the offense.
Ideally Dobson takes his game to the next level, but if he falters I think LaFell will be breathing down his neck. After Edelman and Amendola there will be a lot of competition for spots.
Gallon looks and runs like a running back and is quicker than fast. Not the biggest or fastest, but is a crisp, clean route runner with usually-sure hands. He has savvy awareness and very good vision with the ball in his hands to create some separation and do something after the catch. Gallon will be limited in the NFL due to his smallish frame and mediocre speed, but he is a tough, competitive football player who will find a niche at the next level as a No. 4 or 5 WR.
Morris has average size, speed and athletic traits, but makes up for it with his relentless attitude and hustle to disrupt plays all over the field, including the backfield. His overaggressive style will get him in trouble at times, lacking the fluidity to easily recover, but he is smart and coachable with top intangibles.
