“One of the most explosive edge rushers in this draft. He’ll line up, stick his hands in the dirt and get his hands in the quarterback.” – Mike Mayock

Do you see Jamie Collins playing on the line of scrimmage or off?
BB: He’s done both. He was basically a defensive end last year. His sophomore year he was more of an off the line ‘backer. His freshman year he was a safety and his junior year he was a 34 outside linebacker where he was on the line but he was in coverage, whereas this past year, he wasn’t in coverage very often. He has a lot of versatility. We’ll see how it goes.

What are some of the things that stand out to you about Aaron Dobson? BB: He’s big, he’s fast, he’s got good hands, he’s a strong player; smart, very smart.

The two Rutgers DBs – that was a very good defensive unit that they had last year, over the past few years actually, but especially last year. Of course Logan [Ryan] had a very productive year outside and Duron [Harmon] inside. I know that whole group, but especially those guys, are close. They communicated well, played well. Both were very productive, both defensively and in the kicking game, solid guys. We’ve had a number of our players here comment on their personal characteristics, so I think we’re getting some high quality guys there as well as good football players.

He’s a lot like other Rutgers cornerbacks, including Devin McCourty. They’re disciplined, play zone better than man, and tackle like demons. They’re smart and don’t take plays off.

Good stuff, in what is sadly Bedard’s Boston fond farewell weekend….
As far as his role with the Patriots, besides special teams, I think he fits best as the “money” dime back that Tavon Wilson played last season. If Wilson grabs the three-way competition between Adrian Wilson and Steve Gregory, Harmon is another option at money along with Adrian Wilson, Gregory, and Jamie Collins.
He was a two-time All Big East defender and I think if you were best in the conference two straight years then you’re worthy of being a third-round pick.

Unfortunately, given the success of Clay Matthews, a team will see the long hair and think Reed is a Clay clone and take him way too high. But if he drops to the mid-second round I’d […]
