Here it is, my first Pats mock of the draft season.

Counting down the top NFL free agents of 2014, from 100-51 | The MMQB with Peter King
Bedard has Garrett Graham (TE/Hou), Jared Allen (DE/Minn) and LeGarrette Blount (RB/NE) as the best Pats fits. All make good sense to me. Tight end and defensive end must be addressed in free agency, you’re not going to find immediate assured help at those spots in the draft.
I actually don’t think there’s anything nefarious going on here, but Jerry’s pretty much a must-post so I had to link it.
Every team keeps track of every other team’s roster and needs, so I believe this is likely just the Pats’ version of that book. If it was a secret Browns manual why would they have their own logo on a page in the middle of it? Likely just a coincidence that Lombardi was on the Browns page when the photo was clicked.
But if people find this to be yet another thing to be outraged at the Patriots for, please don’t let me stop them…
Wow, now here’s a Pats flashback GIF! But I thought Pete Carroll’s defenses never give up touchdown passes!?

Really good breakdown from Oliver Thomas at NEPatriotsDraft.com. Was glad to see quite a few of my big board guys on here as measurable fits. Though overall I don’t put that much weight into the combine numbers, ultimately I think it comes down to “was it good enough” and not that there is some standard.
