The Patriots chose not to move up in the first round, and chose Brandon Meriweather, safety out of Miami, with the 24th overall pick. This was a great pick! Meriweather is a tremendously hard hitter that can step infront of any pass. His awareness is phenomonal, and all around, he is one of the best [...]
At Pick number 127 the Patriots selected defensive lineman Kareem Brown of Miami. It looks like he’s a pretty good pass rusher and an all-around good player. More to come soon.
The Patriots have traded their fourth round pick (127 overall) for Oakland Raiders WR Randy Moss. WOW! This hasn’t been confirmed by the team, but it looks like it is happening.
More to come later…
WOW!!!
ROUND 1, PICK 24: BRANDON MERIWEATHER, S, MIAMI
While the actual draft wasn’t all exciting for Patriots fans, the Pats really picked up some long term investments. First, starting with the only player the Patriots drafted, Brandon Meriweather. Meriweather, a former ‘Cane, has a lot of talent. However, character issues pushed him late into the first [...]
I’m going to try to get a live draft day thread going on the forum. You can find the link at the top of the page. Signing up is easy, you just need to enter email, username, and a password. I’m trying to get the forum going for good now!
This may just be me, but I think the Patriots are seriously considering taking Louisville running back Michael Bush. Reportedly, he is 99% recovered from his leg injury and is ready to go into training camp at full strength. At 6′2″, 250 lbs, he is a bruiser that will compliment Maroney. I think he has the [...]
The Pats continued their crazy offseason by signing free agent cornerback Tory James. As reported earlier, James visited New England last week. James,who most recently played for the Bengals, has been very productive over the years, even pulling down a carreer high 8 interceptions. Despite being 34, James is still a great cover corner. Along [...]
One more mock draft after this…
Round 1, Pick 24: Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
As other receivers rise up the boards, Ginn is dropping slightly. He came in for a pre-draft workout with the Pats, so he’s definately on the Patriots radar. At 24, he will also be the best player available. Don’t be surprised [...]
Andrew already wrote about it, but 14 year veteran Drew Bledsoe has retired. I needed to say something as well, because Bledsoe was my favorite all-time player. I think two games in his carreer characterize his heart and integrity the best. In 1998, we were playing the Bills, and Bledsoe hurt his thumb. In fact, [...]
On Wednesday ex-Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe decided to call it a career rather than be a backup quarterback in the NFL. Although it has been a few years since Bledsoe was a Patriot he did occupy a lofty position in the New England sports world throughout the 1990’s. When he was drafted number [...]
