Here’s a great page to bookmark from the outstanding NEPatriotsDraft.com. They’re keeping track of every prospect that the Pats have had private interest in, and a good chunk of their picks from last season were on this list. Sometimes it’s just due diligence, but I’m taking a closer look at all the receivers on here, because of how important that selection will be this year. Not sure they’d take one without extensive board work with him.

Flashback link to three really good interviews with BB about the draft. One of the things that stands out to me, starting “inside out, and down the middle”.
Makes you wonder where the biggest impact position to target in the draft really is.
From this view, wide receiver is the Patriots’ biggest need leading into the draft, and specifically the team needs to find a wide receiver with size, who can play on the perimeter and who can beat man coverage. The Patriots used Brandon Lloyd in that role last season, but he was released in March. Though the team has added Jenkins (6-4, 214), he projects to be more of a depth player than a starter. The Patriots have three key receiving game pieces in place with tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez as well as Amendola, but another target is needed for Tom Brady. A receiver with size who can be a reliable red zone target would go a long way towards improving an already explosive and strong offense.
