Truman Jones was voted team captain by his peers prior to last season. Being voted captain at Harvard is an honor, one that players who are elected cherish. Jones responded by having the best season at the school finishing with 39 tackles and 5.5 sacks. Jones has popped this week at the Shrine Bowl practices for the West team. He has caught the attention of the Patriots coaching staff and……
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is tonight and there are several prospects who fit what the Patriots like to do on offense, defense and special teams. Here are ten prospects to watch tonight. Keidron Smith, CB, 6-2 205 Kentucky: Smith has good size, length and athleticism. He excels in press coverage where he uses his length to his advantage. Does a good job of getting hip position and staying in phase. He……

With Sunday’s loss to Buffalo and Washington’s win over Dallas, the Patriots secured the 14th pick in the first round of April’s draft. It is the highest they are picking in the first round since 2008 when they were picking 10th. That year they drafted a linebacker out of Tennessee, Jerod Mayo. The Patriots have multiple needs and could go in a myriad of directions with the pick. We know……
The Patriots 2022 draft has been not been received well by fans and the media alike. Despite that, we think they made some quality picks last week. Here are our favorite picks from this year’s draft class. Jon Lyons Marcus Jones, CB, Houston 3rd Round: Of all the Patriots selections, the one I am most excited about is Marcus Jones, a defensive back from Houston selected in the third round…….
The Patriots turned heads on Saturday when they drafted quarterback Bailey Zappe in the fourth round. Why draft a quarterback when you have Mac Jones and Jarrett Stidham? Simple. They see Zappe as more than a developmental quarterback. Now before you start thinking that I am implying that Mac’s job is on the line, it is not. He is the starting quarterback of the Patriots. Now and in the future…….
The Patriots were once again active in the undrafted free agent market as they tried to maintain their streak of 18 straight seasons with an undrafted free agent making the team. The Patriots have signed eight so far. Here are my thoughts on who they have signed and whether or not they can make the team. Courtesy of Texas Athletics Brenden Schooler, S, 6-1 203 Texas: Schooler is a big……
The Patriots drafted Darien, Connecticut native Andrew Stueber with their last pick in the seventh round (Pick 245). At 6-6 325, Stueber was a tackle at Michigan but could kick inside and play guard in the NFL. Stueber made 22 career starts at Michigan and he played in 34 games. He’s got a lot of good football left in him. Here is my scouting report on Andrew Stueber. Andrew Stueber,……
The Patriots drafted guard Chasen Hines with Pick 210 in the sixth round. On paper, Hines reminds me of Michael Onwenu who the Patriots took in the sixth round two years ago out of Michigan. Hines is 6-3 350. He needs to drop a few pounds. If he does, he can be good with his athleticism. Onwenu has turned out to be very good for the Patriots and they are……
