Two Patriots mock drafts

by

Couple of mock drafts to pass along today from two of the best Pats writers out there – Doug Kyed of NESN.com and Steve Balestrieri of PatsFans.com.

You’ll find similar themes in both and even the same player – CJ Fiedorowicz, possibly my own favorite tight end in this class. Both are addressing the trenches and tight end with some solid Pats fits at whatever positions later in the draft.

I think this is the way it’s going to go. The must get some good young depth, especially at interior offensive line.

I am always encouraged when I see other guys like Doug and Steve out there picking guys that I have on my big board already. I’ll be dropping that in the next week by the way, just need to get from 72 down to 50.

Between Belichick cautioning reporters to “verify”, Wilfork stating his pending comments will be his “FIRST” remarks and owner Robert Kraft saying Monday he “surely hopes” that Wilfork will remain with the team, there seems to be a cooling off in progress since Wilfork cleaned out his locker and took down his nameplate. What’s emerged in the past 18 hours is that, while the situation with Wilfork isn’t ideal, it is salvageable.

In other words, receivers coming out of these systems are forced to learn a new way to speak about and learn the game. Instead of simply being told to run a slant or a go route, which makes learning a playbook much easier, they have to understand the concepts of each play and their assignment within in.

Nobody does it quite like BB…

Do you think wilfork will be back this season? Especially after him clearing out his locker and tearing off his name tag.

Never say never. Certainly sounds dramatic but Wilfork’s been gone on vacation for a while now, so this is somewhat old news even though we’re just hearing about it now. For anyone who went through Wilfork’s last contract negotiation, it certainly was just as contentious as this seems now. 

Ultimately I think it boils down to what is Vince going to get out on the open market. If you’re another team you have to be a little wary of signing him to a big deal coming off a major injury with all the mileage he has on him.

It really makes the most sense for him to return to the Pats and finish out his career as a Patriot so I still hold out hope that cooler heads prevail.
