What’s next for the Patriots? – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

When looking closer at the Patriots’ rotation at defensive end on Friday night, it caught the eye that 2013 seventh-round pick Michael Buchanan came on before 2012 third-round pick Jake Bequette. Buchanan, who looks the part at 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds, caught our eye with a nice combination of speed and power off the defensive left side. He got sucked inside on a Matt Barkley quarterback keeper for 8 yards in the second quarter – which was a good learning experience for him when it comes to discipline in maintaining the edge – but otherwise showed up with some solid work. He’s a player we want to see more of this week.
