Patriots Mock Draft

Round 1

27. WR Kendall Wright, Baylor - It was reported that the Patriots went to Baylor for a last minute Private workout with Wright earlier this week. The Patriots did the same with Nate Solder last season and made the Pick. I can see the same scenario playing out with Wright. Wright is a versatile Receiver that can add a Dimension to the Patriots Offense that they don't currently have. He can play outside or in the slot. He plays extremely fast. A potential replacement for Wes Welker?

31. OLB Courtney Upshaw, Alabama - The Pass Rushing Outside Linebacker the Patriots have been looking for, for years. Upshaw is highly Instinctive, a great competitor, and a 4 down player. He is a leader on and off the field and is a Winner. I love everything Upshaw brings to the table and would love to see the Patriots Draft him.

Round 2

48. FS Harrison Smith, Notre Dame - After players like Matt Slater and James Ihedigbo saw significant time opposite Pat Chung last year the Patriots realize it's time for an upgrade. Smith has great football IQ. He is very versatile, he can play Strong or Free Safety. He is a Play making type Safety. He is a solid leader and good teammate.

62. CB Janoris Jenkins, North Alabama - Jenkins might be the Best Pure Corner in this Draft. Jenkins is slipping due to character issues and off the field incidents. He is well worth the risk at #62. Jenkins could be the next great shutdown corner in this league if he keeps his head on straight. He is a 4 down player who can excel on Special Teams. Belichick loves Florida kids, even ones with character flaws.

Round 3

93. DE Jared Crick, Nebraska - In one of my earlier Mock Drafts I had the Patriots taking Crick in Round 1. He has always stood out to me as a Patriots type of player. He can play inside in a 4-3 but his best fit is as a 3-4 DE. He has great work ethic and tremendous intangibles. He also is great in the community which I believe is something the Kraft's look for in a player.

Round 4

126. OT Matt Reynolds, BYU - With Matt Light retiring the Patriots need to add depth behind Vollmer and Solder. Reynolds is an experienced, hard working, prideful, competitive player who would fit great in this o line group.

The U Scandal

     Here we go again, another Major College Football Scandal and this time it's the U. Am I supposed to be surprised? First it was USC, then Ohio State, and now Miami. I think it's becoming a realization that every Big Time Program was Receiving Benifits. College Football is a cesspool for this kind of Shit. As for Miami it's self, this comes as no shock. Think about the Life Style down there, and the Players that attended the U. A lot of the Players that went to the U grew up in Less Fortunate situations and weren't going to pass up Money when giving the opportunity. Then there's the Life Style, have you ever been to Miami? When your down there you can't help but wanna Party, Drink, hit up the Strip Clubs, hang out on the Yachts, Live it up on South Beach. It's pretty obvious this Shit was going down and you know what, it's not a big deal to me. I don't blame those kids for wanting to Live it up. College Athletes should get paid anyways but we

On the Bubble

     With the Patriots heading to Detroit this Saturday for their third preseason game there a few players who are in need of a big game to earn themselves a roster spot. This is one of the deepest teams the Patriots have ever had and spots are limited. Here's a list of a few guys who I think are on the bubble right now and will need to do some serious work to make this team. 1. Brandon Tate, WR: With the new Kickoff Rule in the NFL this season it seems like Brandon Tate's value to this team is way down. He was a top 5 Kick Returner in the NFL last year but this year he may not even be needed as kick returns will be limited. He is a much better Kick Returner then Wide Receiver and because he has been injured most of camp he hasn't been able to improve his Wide Receiver skills. Also the emergence of Taylor Price doesn't help either. Brandon Tate is going to have to have a couple big games, receiving not returning, to secure a spot on this team. 2. Sammy Morris, RB: I
