This morning we bring you a draft prospect that could definitely be on the Patriots radar. Say hello to John Moffitt, an interior lineman who was a four year starter and played every position inside the line. He’s big and mean just like my Mankins and has the versatility the Pats love. Mayock has loved him at the Senior Bowl practices this week. Plus from the clip above he seems like a pretty good dude.

Jeff Howe: Larry Fitzgerald Available

Jeff Howe: Larry Fitzgerald Available

Now this would be an acquisition I could get behind. Fitz is 27 (6.5 years younger than Ochostinko and none of the off the field baggage) and clearly would be an explosive playmaking addition to the Pats. 

The question becomes how much should the Pats be willing to give up for Fitz? I’d say the 17th pick overall is out of the question. But the 28th and Brian Hoyer I’d consider. We all know that the Patriots aren’t going to pick another twelve guys this year. Some of these picks either have to be traded for players, to move up, or for future picks. 

Brady’s not getting any younger and there’s no reason to continually stock up on draft picks. At some point you’ve got to go all in and say “alright we’re maximizing all this value we’ve acquired over the years RIGHT NOW”.

NEPatriotsDraft.Com: Mock Draft #3

NEPatriotsDraft.Com: Mock Draft #3

In this latest mock draft NEPatriotsDraft.com has us taking Aldon Smith and BC tackle Anthony Castonzo, while waiting to grab a DE until the first pick of the second round. 

In the grand scheme of  drafting there are certain positions that are far closer to locks than others. Wide receivers can be hugely difficult to project, while offensive lineman tend to be a little safer.

A defensive end, who can play on the outside during run downs, then shift inside on passing downs, would seem to be a little safer than an outside linebacker unless you’re positive that OLB is going to also be a three down player.

So you have to weigh what is easier for a rookie…

For a college defensive lineman to learn to hold the point of attack and effectively two gap on run downs. Then having the array of pass rush moves necessary to get pressure on the QB on third down.

Or for a college defensive end to learn how to play standing up… to set the edge in the running game but also drop into coverage? He also must have the array of pass rush moves to get after the QB.

Neither skill set is easy, especially in the Belichick defensive scheme, but personally I lean toward the defensive end option and that is why as of now (three months before the draft) I’m leaning that position at 17.

What do you guys think of the Pro Bowl jerseys this year? Notice they’re using the Patriots number font. I notice stuff like this. I might have a problem.

Never really got people who bought Pro Bowl jerseys. Do you think Brady has them framed some where even though he’s only played in like one of them?

What I do like are the t-shirts that they’ve been wearing at practice. I need to go on an extensive schwag hunt later for one of those…
