The Patriots surprisingly drafted Harris with pick 87 in the third round. On paper, the Patriots are deep at the running back position with Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead and Brandon Bolden. The Patriots won’t carry six running backs plus a fullback so you would have to think that one of the back currently on the roster would be the odd man out with Harris in the mix. Here……
The Patriots drafted Michigan defensive end Chase Winovich with pick 77 of the third round. At 6-3 256, Winovich is quick off the snap and plays with a motor. It is overstated at times but Winovich is your prototypical Patriot. He can play multiple roles and is a team first player. Here is our scouting report on Winovich. Chase Winovich, Michigan, 6-3 256 Player Comp: Brooks Reed Vs. Run: Winovich……
The Patriots drafted Vanderbilt cornerback Joejuan Williams with Pick 45 in the second round of the NFL Draft. Williams is a big corner at 6-3 5/8 211. He is your classic squat cover two corner who can press, redirect and trail in coverage. Here is my scouting report on Williams. Joejuan Williams, Vanderbilt, 6-3 5/8 211 Player Comp: Byron Maxwell Man Coverage: Williams has the speed and athleticism to play……
The Patriots drafted Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry with the 32nd pick in the first round. Here is the book on Harry and what Patriots fans can expect. N’Keal Harry, WR, Ole Miss, 6-2 5/8 228 Player Comp: Dez Bryant Release: Harry needs to do a better job of using his entire body to create separation at the snap. He doesn’t do it with his hands well enough. He……
As we have mentioned before, the Patriots never draft for need. They draft the best player available. Well, for the first time in a long time, they have a legitimate need at tight end. Losing Rob Gronkowski is a major league blow. Gronkowski was a shell of the player he has been throughout his career last season but at 6-6 265, he still possessed elite size and athleticism. The Patriots……
Wide receiver is one of the top needs for the Patriots entering the draft on Thursday. The Patriots currently have Julian Edelman, Demaryius Thomas, Phillip Dorsett, Maurice Harris, Bruce Ellington and Braxton Berrios among others on the roster. There are plenty of bodies available to compete but the talent level is thin outside of Edelman. Bill Belichick needs to address the position in the draft but when he does will……
The Patriots 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday night. Here are a few thoughts the Patriots schedule this upcoming season. 1. Opening against the Steelers makes sense in that the two teams have a rivalry but I would have preferred Cleveland or Kansas City came to town for opening night and the raising of banner number six. 2. An early season trip to Miami (Week 2) is never a good…
Add Demaryius Thomas to the list of former big name receivers who attempted to resurrect their careers in New England. From Randy Moss to Chad Ocho Cinco to Joey Galloway to Nate Washington, the Patriots have a history of acquiring wide receivers on the back end of their careers. Thomas signed a one year deal on Tuesday that could be worth up to $6 million dollars. He will be reunited…
The Patriots signed veteran tight end Austin Sefarian Jenkins to a one year deal today. Jenkins spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jenkins has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets in his career. Jenkins has dealt with injury issues throughout his career. He only played in five game for the Jaguars last season catching 11 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. When healthy,…

The draft will provide them the opportunity to replenish some of what they lost. Here are the Patriots top five needs in order of importance. 1. Tight end: Replacing Rob Gronkowski is virtually impossible……
