Breaking Down Ras-I Dowling’s Fit in New England | NEPatriotsDraft.com – 2013 NFL Draft
I will not get excited about Ras-I… I will not get excited about Ras-I…
Good breakdown from Oliver Thomas:
Will Dowling ever fulfill the promise bestowed upon him two years ago? Where was he best utilized? Was there a drastic difference in performance between 2011 and 2012? In attempt to find answers to these questions, I turned to the tape and watched both of Dowling’s rookie performances in contrast with a couple of his sophomore performances.

Sudfeld caught a significantly higher percentage of targets (74.1 percent) than Eifert (61.1 percent) and Ertz (64.7 percent). He also had more “key receptions” than any of the other tight ends in the draft — 22 that went for long yardage, converted a key third or fourth down, or was inside the red zone that gave his offense a better opportunity to score. But where Sudfeld really sets himself apart is with his blocking. He led all tight ends with 24 blocks that resulted in touchdowns, including 19 in the run game, five in the passing game. Travis Kelce, taken in the third round by Kansas City, had the next most touchdown-producing blocks with 10. Sudfeld also graded out as a 94.6 percent blocker, by far the highest grade among draft prospects.
mike, why no love for lg blount? a young guy who was undrafted, had a 1000 yard season, then made expendable, and now fighting for a roster spot. should make a great complement to the riddler and the wolvereen. even more so with the beaten up te’s and the untested wr’s
Barring injuries, I just don’t see it with Blount. Many want to pencil him into the short yardage role over Bolden, but he’s never been a decisive runner like that. If Bolden can return to his early season form from last year I think he’s a slam dunk.
Add in all the off-the-field stuff that’s been trickling in like needing a driver to make it to practice on time in Tampa, and it just doesn’t sound like he’ll work out. Of course if Ridley or Bolden goes down that could open the door a bit for him.
The Patriots obviously liked Ryan, the cornerback out of Rutgers, for a variety of reasons in picking him 83rd overall. One reason was ball skills, and when the club measured him against other cornerbacks in the draft, Ryan was rated to have the fourth-highest total of interceptions and pass breakups (behind first-round picks Dee Milliner and D.J. Hayden, and third-rounder Tyrann Mathieu).

Interesting read on a player we haven’t heard much about early in OTAs.
