I think the schedule lays out favorably for the Patriots. The first things teams look at are where the bye falls (Week 10 for New England, a good time) and how many times they will be thrown off their usual routine. The Patriots have only two such games, Weeks 2 and 12. The first one, the Thursday night game against the Jets, is so early it won’t matter. The latter — the Sunday night showdown with the Broncos that follows a Monday nighter at Carolina — comes shortly after the bye, so the team can get ahead on game planning. So, it all works out. The Patriots have to be ecstatic that they get their Thursday night game (every team gets one) so early in the season, when playing on short rest shouldn’t be a concern. Consider that the Patriots have nine days off from the final preseason game to the opener, then two games in five days, then nine days off before Week 3 at home vs. the Buccaneers. Sounds like a very nice start.

Patriots’ best rookie free-agent signings in Bill Belichick’s tenure: long snapper Lonie Paxton (2000); guard Stephen Neal (2001), cornerback Randall Gay (2004), defensive lineman Mike Wright (2005), outside linebacker Pierre Woods (2006), Green-Ellis (2008), linebacker Gary Guyton (2008), center Ryan Wendell (2008), quarterback Brian Hoyer (2009), linebacker Dane Fletcher (2010), defensive lineman Kyle Love (2010), defensive end Justin Francis (2012) and running back Brandon Bolden (2012).
I think it’s a universal problem to begin with,” said one AFC general manager. “The college game is not kind to the evaluation process for receivers. Receivers in pro football require the ability to separate from man coverage and have great hands. In college football, receivers can just come off the line at any pace they want, catch a curl pattern, and people get up and think they’re great. In the NFL, that route doesn’t really exist very much.

Happy 3rd Anniversary to PatsPropaganda!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been three years here at the Ministry of PatsPropaganda. I began writing about the Pats online in December of 2007, with this being our first ever blog post. How long ago that seems!
I wrote for a number of different sites after that, eventually starting the PatsPropaganda twitter feed in April 2009 and then that, with some help from sister Sarah, became the inspiration for this Tumblr site.
Since then, there have been 8,473 posts at an average rate of 7.74 per day. Many ask how people work for the site, but it’s always been just me, utilizing the power of a posting queue and all the great videos, pictures and other work done by Pats fans from around the globe.
Each year has brought new exciting developments in the world of Pats blogging, and we hope it only continues. Thanks to all of you who support the site. You make it all the fun that it is. I appreciate every comment and message, good or bad.
We might not all always agree, but we all love the Pats, and being part of that global community is extremely special to me.
Thanks again to every last one of you!
Go Pats,
Mike D.

New England Patriots: It’s odd to see the Patriots with only three picks in the first six rounds. It’s a good thing then that they don’t need to do much in the draft. Finding help at receiver, defensive tackle and cornerback is New England’s primary goal. Ideal 2013 NFL Draft (First Four Rounds): 29. Jamar Taylor, CB 59. Markus Wheaton, WR 91. Dallas Thomas, G/OT
