Yes, some great options. Give me one of those guys and I’m excited.
What was your reaction to the pats taking Harmon in 3rd round
“Who?” (along with just about everyone else including Mel Kiper Jr.)

Looks like Hageman has become the new boo of Patriots mock drafts post-combine, taking over for Jace Amaro. I like to think I was ahead of this trend, picking him in my first mock draft last week. Frenz had him in his as well last week, and now McShay is on board too.
This of course means he’ll now be drafted in the teens. Time to start taking a closer look at Stephon Tuitt…
Do you think the pats are set next year at linebacker if not what do you think they are missing/need
I think the starters are set with Hightower sliding to Mike, Collins at Sam and Mayo at Will, at least in the 4-3. In the 3-4 you probably just stand Ninkovich or Chandler up.
In subpackages I think Collins will be next to Mayo, effectively eliminating the need to play a safety at the money position. Collins has better size than any safety you could put there and seems like the next evolution of subpackage player, since he can cover big tight ends or even be sent after the quarterback.
Perhaps the biggest question is whether or not Collins overtakes Mayo as the top coverage linebacker. Mayo has always had the speed and smarts but he’s just never seemed to develop that coverage savvy that someone like Bruschi had.
Take a look at Victor Cruz’s TD in SB 46 to see what I’m talking about. Mayo has the perfect call to at least defend the pass and probably should’ve intercepted it. Instead he never gets his head around and it’s six points. This is an indicative example of the biggest weakness I see in Mayo’s game.

Should the Patriots go “All In” for Darrelle Revis?
Should the Patriots go “All In” for Darrelle Revis?
Today’s post at SportsBlog looks at whether Revis makes sense for the Pats. On paper all the factors are there, but does Tampa really want to unload him?
