Still no jersey numbers for new Patriots players (although we hear Danny Amendola, unofficially, could be donning at No. 80 at this time. That could always change).

Notes from Pats’ draft release – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

Amendola in 80 > Amendola in 16

And let me use this moment to say I’m all for putting all the numbers back into the pool, and just make a ring of honor for the numbers that were previously retired. They can retire 12 when the time’s right. Otherwise let’s bring the rest back.

If you can only enjoy Patriots victories then the Buttfumble game is probably your favorite one of 2012. But if you can handle a loss if it’s a great game then this one might be your favorite. It’s been a long time since there was a more up-and-down emotional roller coaster game for the Pats. Just such a buzz kill with the way they fell short after coming all the way back.

What is the patriots biggest D concern coming into the draft, A/B gap pressure or strengthening the secondary?

More on this coming next week at B/R, but this is how I look at it. When Mike Mayock asked BB about team-building through the draft and he said it starts “inside out and down the middle”. 

It’s my view that the quickest way to make the biggest impact on this defense is to upgrade Kyle Love. It also scares me to imagine what would happen if Vince Wilfork somehow missed a game. They can’t keep running him into the ground.

I’ve kicked the dead horse of improving the interior rush already this season, but simply it comes down to just having another impact player in the front seven and I think Love, though he had solid 2012, is the most upgradeable player on defense.

The only other area I think they strongly look at is Spikes, Hightower and the middle linebacker position. They might need to add another rotational coverage specialist in there. Dane Fletcher might even be the guy.

As long as Dennard isn’t in jail I’m excited about the secondary of him-McCourty-Wilson-Wilson-Gregory-Arrington-Talib. You could use another slot corner in there but that’s a group that you can win a Super Bowl with in my view.
