Patriots most affected by change – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

Good read from Reiss on the guys most affected by the draft picks…

Defensive end Jermaine Cunningham. The 2010 second-round pick out of Florida let the team down last year with a four-game suspension, which stunted some of the momentum he had generated at the time. Upon his return, he had been passed on the depth chart by rookie free agent Justin Francis. Now with Collins and Buchanan added in the draft, and projecting to an “edge” role, Cunningham has even more competition to contend with for playing time and/or a roster spot.
