Marshall is a great player but he wouldn't replace Moss or Welker for me.  Sure he's got longer ahead of him than Moss but he doesn't represent a proven commodity in our offense which is the case for Moss.  I think it's too far from our biggest need and wouldn't make the trade at present unless there were some unreasonably low requirements for us to give up and a reasonably low salary for hi...which I also doubt.

 

Go Pats!

Any hardcore tailgaters here that would like to be considered for a Food Network show? Or know of someone who would represent Patriot Nation well?  Read below and if you are interested let me know, and I'll get you in touch with the person who inquired.

 

They are tentatively looking to shoot on 8/15.

Hi Barry,

My name is Laura .  I'm a TV producer looking for the best, most festive 3-4 member Patriots' tailgating teams for a competition that may air on the Food Network in August.    Are there any teams you could suggest that fit the bill, have their own rigs and can also cook something delicious that represents the New England region?   We're also looking for tailgaters of all types who would be willing to drive to Buffalo, NY(Ralph Wilson Stadium) to be part of the show, but not necessarily compete.  We're just in the researching stage right now, but any insight or contacts you could share with me would be great.

Thank you!

Laura

Mr. Harrison will announce his retirement today, to enter the broadcast booth.
nobody worked harder than you, Rodney. We're gonna miss you.

A atat abou Rodney that I didn't know, from Chris Gasper's piece in the Globe
today.

"The hard-hitting and outspoken safety, who ends his career as the only player
in NFL history with more than 30 sacks (30.5) and 30 interceptions (34)..."

An impressive player and person.

Can someone enlighten me as to what the deal is the Pats have with the MA state lottery?

 

The BrewGnat

 

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Hail to the Redskins -- especially if that scratch-off is a winner.

The Redskins on Friday became the second NFL team to announce a partnership with a state lottery, taking advantage of a new league rule designed to bring in more revenue during a weak economy.

The Virginia Lottery will issue Redskins-themed scratch-off tickets for the 2009 season. The tickets will be sold only in Virginia.

"We envision a game that will link lottery fans with the Redskins in new and exciting ways," Redskins chief operating officer Mitch Gershman said.

Breaking from a strict policy that deterred any association with gambling, NFL owners voted Wednesday to allow teams to sign licensing deals with state-sponsored lotteries. The New England Patriots became the first team to announce such an agreement Thursday.

The Redskins had been in negotiations with the Virginia Lottery in anticipation of the owners' vote. Several other NFL teams are considering lottery deals.

Rumors out of camp say third round pick LB Tyrone McKenzie tore an ACL and
is out for this coming season according to Patriots.com

Mike Reiss has an interesting column in the Globe today, about Wheatly and
Crable's return from injuries. Good line about Crable's off-season...

"Crable craves a chance to go make plays. The 6-foot-5-inch, 243-pound Crable
said he has spent the offseason working out with strength and conditioning coach
Mike Woicik to improve his leg strength, and studying film of former Patriots
linebacker Willie McGinest."

Now, if he can play like Willie...

This season will be an interesting one, with the return of Brady, several
coaching changes, the exit of some veterans, the arrival of some new veterans,
and an influx of rookie talent.  What I don't think will change is how Belichick
runs the team.  So, the more things change, the more they stay the same. 
Another winning season and another Super Bowl run, this time with the results we
Patriots fans have come to know and love:  VICTORY.  I can't wait.

Please don't tell me you're surprised.

Nice concise breakdown, Dave. Thanks.

Was anyone even remotely bored?

7 different trades.
12 guys picked (4 alone in the 2nd round)
2 picks moved to next year (both in the 2nd round)
A starting CB traded for 2-5th round picks
BB at his best

BB clearly was not enamored with anything in this draft.  He twice traded out of
the 1st round and then got a smart, physical safety he wanted.  He then moved up
to grab a beast of a NT and then a CB who was predicted to go to us in the 1st
round anyway.  He then grabs a huge, monster of a OT who, needs some work but by
all accounts, has the talent.  Then, the first day was over.

My draft musings

We trade the 23rd pick for #26 and a 5th rounder (points:  we lose 728 in – 760
out)
We trade the #26 and the 5th for an early 2nd, early 3rd and a mid 3rd (points:
we win big 895 in – 728 out)
We trade a 2nd, 4th and 6th to move up 7 spots to 40.  (points: pretty much
equal 500 in – 491 out)
We trade a 3rd for a 2nd next year and a 7th. (Figure Jax at 25 in the 2nd next
year and the points are 332 in – 235 out)
We trade another 3rd for a 2nd next year. (Figure Ten at 28 in the 2nd next year
and the points are 300 in – 145 out)

What this all means

We trade Cassel and Vrabel for Chung.
We target Brace and move up for him.
We wanted Butler from the beginning and wisely waited for him instead of
reaching in the 1st round
We moved a 3rd round pick next year's 2nd to bolster the future
We grab a top flight WR in Tate in the 3rd who has the talent but needs some
discipline and structure in his life (failed drug test at the combine).  He also
has a hurt knee so he won't be rushed into the lineup with Moss, Welker,
Galloway and Lewis ahead of him anyway).
We trade another 3rd rounder for a 2nd next year.
We grab an ILB in McKenzie for what was Assante Samuel.  This kid is pure
character and a hard worker and will eventually replace Tedy (another guy who is
pure character and a hard worker).  I love this choice.  If you have questions,
read his story.
We trade Hobbs for 2 5ths which are then traded for Rich Ohrnberger, a versatile
OL and Jake Ingram, a long snapper.  Questionable but with Hobbs in the last
year of his contract and costing us $2.5 against the cap, I can see why it was
done.
The most curious pick was in the 7th round when we picked Kent State's Julian
Edelman, a QB who was announced as a WR.  BB said they picked him as an
athelete.

None of the OL that we selected were invited to the combine.
