New England Patriots
Solid, durable prospect with good strength in his upper and lower halves. Plays with good pad level and bend between the tackles, making him able to stone both running backs and approaching blockers in the hole. Also uses his hands to stay clean and tackle backs trying to get into the open field, has the strength can bring down ballcarriers with one arm. Athletic enough to angle into medium drops over the middle, potentially giving him a chance to play some strong side linebacker. Has proven capable of making an interception. Puts his hand down as a rush end at times, showing some quickness off the snap and the strength to work through blocks to the quarterback.

Nice height and length for the position. Excellent first step, covers a lot of ground with his long strides off the edge. Can run the arc and flashes the flexibility to turn the corner. Swats offensive tackles’ hands off his body to get separation after his first step. Times his spin move up well. Has showed good motor to get secondary rushes and chase ballcarriers downfield. Flashes the ability to lock onto his man’s chest and use his long arms and churning feet to bull him back. Effective at linebacker, locks up tight ends off the line and shows some the hip-fluidity and agility to play in coverage. Works inside on twists and as a stand-up blitzer, fights through gaps to harass the quarterback.

LeGarrette Blount a Long Shot to Make Patriots Roster
So long Jeff Demps, much less excited about anything Blount might bring to the table.
It will be certainly a new receiving group for us, in our chemistry and timing and execution and all that. They have a long way to go to blend in with some of our other veteran players on the offensive side of the ball. But hopefully those guys will all be able to grow together with our relatively young tight ends and fairly young group of backs, and become productive in the passing game and overall offensively as well.

Flashback: My first 2013 mock draft Post-Super Bowl
In this, my first mock draft of the 2013 right after the Super Bowl, I had both Dobson and Boyce. It just goes to show that research is overrated I guess…
