Patriots vs. Lions: Thoughts and Observations | NEPatriotsDraft.com – 2013 NFL Draft

Been saying this all along, but I’ll let Mike Loyko hammer it home:

There is no doubt the Patriots rookie class and the receivers especially are an impressive group. But, for everyone expecting them to have a seamless transition to NFL stardom, they have to slow their roll. With so many rookies Patriot fans have to be patient and allow time to develop. I think it will be a case of the rookies getting better each week and hopefully by November-December the offense will be clicking on all cylinders. The Patriots and fans will just have to take the good with the bad because mistakes are going to happen.
