Patriots Draft Need #6: EDGE
The Patriots seem to be set at outside linebacker/EDGE on paper but in reality, they could use another pass rusher. Especially one that gives them some juice off the corner. When you look at this draft class at EDGE, there are elite pass rushers at the top of the class in Dallas Turner of Alabama and Jared Verse of Florida State but the Patriots are not taking one early so……
Top 50 Patriots Prospects: #33: Joe Milton, QB, Tennessee
Joe Milton has the strongest arm in this draft and is the ultimate developmental project in this class. Milton started his career at Michigan before transferring prior to the 2020 season. Milton has technically only started one full season and that was last season where he threw 20 touchdown passes and for 2,813 yards. In this era of the spread offense, those are not eye popping numbers. Especially in Josh……

5 Observations from Brown Spring Practice
The Brown Bears held their ninth spring practice of the spring on Tuesday evening at the Erickson Athletic Complex. It was a beautiful evening for football. Head Coach James Perry called it a “Chamber of Commerce” kind of day and he was right. You couldn’t have asked for better weather to practice in. As usual, practice was uptempo. The Bears don’t waste time and they do not waste reps. They……
