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.

Stidham Time

I’m done with Cam Newton. If I’m going to be completely honest, I was done with Cam Newton after those back to back losses to Denver and San Francisco in October. But, over the next four games he was decent and the team started to win so I bit my tongue and accept him as the starting QB. But now he’s on a streak of three of the worst games I’ve ever seen a QB play and his piss poor play throughout the year has all but cost the Patriots a chance at a playoffs. Over the last three games he has posted a QB rating of 23.6, 87.4 and 53.9. In the game where he posted the 87.4, he had 69 yards passing. In those three games he had just one passing touchdown to three interceptions while completing just 56% of his passes. Long story short, he can’t throw the football.  Sure, he’s made some plays with his legs and has scored a bunch of rushing touchdowns but that’s not what you’re looking for from your QB. It’s certainly not what I’m looking for. I want a QB who can make plays with his arm. I...

Patriots Free Agent Wish List

Here's a list of NFL free agents I would love to see the Patriots target in free agency. This is more of a wish list than a list of realistic possibilities. I'd be happy if the Patriots signed just a few of these players.  1. Donte Whitner, S - Love me some Whitner. This Ohio State Buckeye is a hard hitting Safety who would bring instant physicality to the Patriots D. He is the perfect compliment to McCourty. He would also bring a veteran presence and leadership.  2. Eric Decker, WR - It's time to give Tom Brady a legit playmaking outside receiver. Some would argue Decker isn't even that but I'm not one of them. He is a big physical receiver who makes explosive plays down field. He would fit in perfect here and remember Josh McDaniels drafted Decker in Denver.   3. Aqib Talib, CB - This is the Patriots biggest free agent this year and they must find a way to resign him. When Talib is healthy he is a difference maker on this Defense.  4. Vonte Davis, CB - If the Patr...
