April 4, 2022

The trade of DeVante Parker from the Dolphins to the Patriots sent shockwaves around the NFL and New England. The Patriots got an established receiver in his prime along with a fifth round pick in exchange for a 2023 third round pick. The pick the Patriots gave up for Parker is negligible in essence because the team will receive a compensatory pick for J.C Jackson next year. The only difference……

April 1, 2022

The NFL Draft is now less than one month away. In this mock draft, things turned out quite differently than in my first mock draft. It came out balanced, with five selections on defense and four on offense. It also involved two trade downs. In the first round, I decided to stand pat and select Georgia defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt. The most famous defensive lineman from Georgia is Jordan Davis,……

The NFL Draft is approaching fast, with the first round beginning on April 28th. The Patriots have several needs, both present and future that need to be addressed. In 2020 and 2021, the Patriots brought in several quality players via the draft. For the Patriots to take the next step in their rebuild, that trend will need to continue in 2022.  For this mock draft, I went with an early……

The Patriots have to re-tool their offensive line after losing Ted Karras in free agency and the trade of Shaq Mason to the Buccaneers. Bill Belichick has addressed the offensive line in recent drafts by drafting Yodny Cajuste, Michael Onwenu and Justin Herron among others. All are still on the roster and will be in the mix to start next season. Belichick could address the offensive line in several ways,……

Patriots Draft: Thoughts on ILB Cam McGrone, S Joshuah Bledsoe, OT William Sherman and WR Tre Nixon

May 1, 2021

The Patriots added five more players in Saturday’s draft. Here are my thoughts on the players the Patriots in the fifth, sixth and seventh round. Cameron McGrone, ILB, 6-0 235 Michigan: McGrone is only 20 years old so he’s young. He won’t turn 21 until June 22nd. McGrone suffered a knee injury in November so there is a good chance he could miss the upcoming season. McGrone has played SAM……

Rhamondre Stevenson is one of the few running backs in this draft who has size, is an elite level pass blocker and can contribute in the passing game. Stevenson wasn’t the guy all the time for the Sooners but when he finally got his opportunity to be the lead back, he capitalized on it. Stevenson rushed for 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns in his career in a rotational role. He……

May 1, 2021

The Patriots pass rush has been non-existent the past six years. New England hasn’t had a double digit sack artist since Chandler Jones did it in 2015 when he finished with 12.5 sacks. Chase Winovich led the team in sacks last season with 5.5. Bill Belichick has tried changing that this off-season by signing hybrid pass rusher Matthew Judon in free agency and drafting Oklahoma EDGE defender Ronnie Perkins last……
