Patriots camp observations: WRs coming along under Brady – CBSSports.com
Great stuff from Pat Kirwan, whose opinion I trust, including this:
The starting front four looks good with Rob Ninkovich and Chandler Jones at the ends and Tommy Kelly and Vince Wilfork inside. The problems start when you look to the roster for quality depth and a hybrid ‘joker’ player that will stress opposing quarterbacks. Justin Francis, a defensive end out of Rutgers, is a dark horse to become a factor in the pass rush according to his teammates I spoke with Sunday. It may take some time, but rookie Jamie Collins has a chance to be a hybrid linebacker/pass rusher.
