Strange is looking like another first-round draft pick who doesn't get his 5th year option picked up.

Lots of hate for Mafi here, who was a 5th round draft pick last year and was forced to play b/c of injuries to other guys. So much for all the talk about draft and develop.

I live in Texas and have been following UT and Mack Brown since he coached here. He's a great recruiter and can bring in stud recruits. The problem is that after 3 or 4 years, these players may be a little bigger and faster, but at best, they're marginally better football players. This kid is...

It would be pretty rich if, after the firing and criticisms about BB, the Patriots pick at #3 is the same guy that BB would probably have picked at #3 if he were still in charge.

This team is now being run by a Harvard MBA/former Bain & Co. consultant. What could possibly go wrong?

JJ McCarthy, come on down!

I would like to see a trade down and a trade up, to get two tackles who can come in and start on day 1. Patch the hole at QB until the OL is fixed. Putting a promising young QB behind the current OL would ruin him. You just can't have a functioning offense with the type of OL the Patriots had...

Next stop for Mac: Birmingham Stallions.

Let him see what he's worth. Maybe he comes back at a reasonable number, maybe he doesn't. No biggie.

I think it's back-up-the-truck time in Foxborough. There really aren't that many players on this team for whom the Patriots would get much of anything in return. Probable scenario is that he gets released, or traded for somebody else's mistake.

Cole Strange may be an exceptional athlete, but I've yet to see it.

Edelman almost muffed a punt in the AFC championship game vs. KC. He actually tried to touch it but missed, at least according to the replay officials.

I suggest reading this article: Home Field Advantage and Extra Innings: Some Continuing Research Even if extra inning baseball games were switched to sudden death, home teams would still have an advantage.

I agree with many of the previous posts--tackle is the biggest need and Onwenu isn't the solution. He seems like a guy who would like to be paid tackle money to play guard. Trade out of #3, draft 2 tackles with the top 2 picks, sign a couple of free agent tackles, and put a patch over the hole...
