Patriots Rookie Eyeball Test #3: Jermaine Cunningham

Oh man, Jermaine. No. No. No. Does he really expect anyone to believe he’s our pass rusher of the future with a look like that? Yesterday I posted a picture of Jermaine at Florida and he looked frightening.

Now? He looks like someone headed for the practice squad.  Not gonna lie, it’s all in the facemask for me. Say what you will about Adalius Thomas but he looked scary in uniform. Jermaine just ain’t cutting it here. Let’s hope he hears my pleas and switches up the helmet. Let’s get back to the Florida look, Jermaine!

Patriots Rookie Eye Ball Test #2: Devin McCourty

I have to admit with a cornerback it’s really black or white. You either look like a pro corner (see Darius Butler, Bodden, even Wilhite) or you don’t (see Terrence Wheatley). It’s pretty clear to me that McCourty has, in the words of Roxette, got the look.

Usually I prefer my #32s to be white runningbacks like Craig James, so a corner with a number in the 30s is a little bit of a twist. We’ll see if he keeps it or if he switches up to say #22 after training camp (sorry Wheaties). Of course McCourty already changed his twitter handle to reflect #32 so maybe he plans on keeping it.

Solid overall look. Let’s hope he’s the next Darrelle Bevis. Yes, Bevis. I’m sick of everyone referring to Bevis as the cornerback Jesus, so from here on out he will be referred to as Bevis, the Great Cornerholio.

And here it is, our first glimpse of a 2010 New England Patriots rookie, Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski. I really have high hopes for Gronk and after seeing this picture I am even more excited.

Why you may ask? Because I’ve been waiting for a Patriot to rock one of those new high-tech facemasks for a while now and I think Gronk is just the man to pull it off. It’s a new look for a new decade but a new player who will be the new benchmark for what a versatile Tight End is.

As for him being #87 I don’t see how you can’t love it. We all remember when Ben “Winter” Coates was the franchise. Gronk can block. Gronk can catch. He’s going to be a Patriot beast for the next decade. Exciting!

The Truth About BB’s Draft DBs Hurts (CHFF)

The Truth About BB’s Draft DBs Hurts (CHFF)

I can’t argue with the Cold Hard Football Facts in this article. But if the Defensive Passer Rating of 78 is indeed a benchmark the 2009 Patriots really weren’t too far off the mark (81) despite some horrific performances against the Saints and Colts. In fact, that 81 DPR would rank 5th behind the 4 teams that played in the Super Bowl and the 2006 team that lost in the AFC Championship. So take this all with a grain of salt, we ain’t that far away.

This draft has question marks attached to talented players all over the place. They drafted Devin McCourty CB Rutgers who is talented but football maturity on the field is his question mark. If Rob Gronkowski TE Arizona’s back is all right then they have drafted one of the best TE’s in this draft. Jermaine Cunningham DE/LB Florida is another very talented player with a host of question marks off and on the field and Brandon Spikes LB Florida has some athletic question marks but in his defense he knows what he is doing on the field. Taylor Price WR Ohio who I know that he can block but how long will it take for him to become a complete WR? Aaron Hernandez TE/H-Back might be one of the steals of the draft and Tom Brady should love him at crunch time. Did you notice how this team is always in the running for the playoffs and draft’s from big time college programs? I just thought I would bring that to your attention! Lots of question marks but not about talent. They drafted talent from big programs that addressed their needs.
A smart draft if the question marks can be answered.
