And at least 10 LBs. That means those teams either like these prospects better than the guys currently on their roster, or possibly see them as a cheaper alternative to those guys in a salary cap crunch. One area where BB excels at is finding guys who other teams are discarding that can still contribute. He will likely find DL and LB depth from that group of cast offs. Also, I keep hearing about cutting Amendola or Cannon for cap space, but why do that now when there will be injuries during camps and team will be looking for bodies and depth. They could have trade value, either for future picks since the Pats are low next year, or for an area of need as camp progresses.

Takes chances on HIS picks not PFW or ESPN rankings. Brings them all to camp and hopes 2 of them make strong contributions and a couple more just play roles and add depth. If you turn out to be a stiff or dumb not knowing the playbook he gives you the axe without any hesitation. With that saying ,when some of those don't pan out it sucks. Wish they took a RB and don't agree with the Brissett pick or the Valentine pick, have not seen them play at all just see scouting reports like everyone else. However he did acknowledge the OL which is a good thing. I'm NO draft guru and other people on here know way more about this stuff then me , but that's the book on Mr. BB.. If I had to knit pick would love to get a DLINE man that could push the pocket backwards a little. |
