Mike, last year you were spot on with Easley. You clearly had a draft crush on him, and I was extremely excited they took him. With the combine going on, who’s your early favorite for the Patriots in round one (assuming they stay at 32). I’m starting to really like SC guard AJ Cann. Seems tough, smart, and a good leader, plus at a position of need. Who you got?

Seems like Cann is where most Patriots fans are starting out with their draft binkies and he makes a lot of sense. I’ve just started to wade into the draft a bit, and yes, guards will be a heavy area of focus, but I think the important thing to remember is that they really shouldn’t have any glaring holes heading into the draft. So really no position should be off the table.

I think the entire defensive front seven should be of some interest because we’ve got to keep 2016 in mind with this draft as well. Mayo/Hightower/Chandler, even Ninkovich to an extent could be players who depart or decline. It’s a constant battle to keep the gun fully loaded.

I didn’t truly lock in on Easley until a lot of the early free agency (Wilfork especially) pieces were figured out. It will be the same this year.

Best of Chandler Jones & Dont’a Hightower | 2012 First Round Picks

Things will be interesting with both these guys entering the final years of their rookie deals this year. It would be a Sophie’s Choice to only pick one of them. An edge player like Jones is so hard to find, but a versatile and physical linebacker like Hightower is as well. Might as well just lock both of them up with extensions.

NFL Integrity Takes Another Hit — Boston Sports Media Watch

This thing just keeps on getting worse and worse for the NFL. I’m just glad the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Imagine how you’d feel if they’d lost and then get cleared of any wrongdoing after the full two weeks of outrage leading up to the Super Bowl?

My only hope now is that the “us against the world” feeling carries into next season and keeps the fire lit under a Patriots team facing an underwhelming schedule.
