New England has made an annual habit of holding on to at least one undrafted free agent (UDFA) who had to wait out seven rounds of the draft before booking a plane ticket. Below, we review some of the guys reportedly signed by the Pats who might want to check out properties in the Foxboro … Continue reading Who’s The FA? UDFA!

The Pats Draft We’d Like To See
Way back in February, we wrote about the various draft modes Coach Bill Belichick could choose. Of those, we’ve decided to stay put with the five picks available to New England this year for our very own, very serious mock draft. Not much room to move around the board? Fine. Clean slate in 2014. For now, … Continue reading The Pats Draft We’d Like To See

A Belichick Draft: The Tendencies
New England begins this week with five draft picks: one each in the first, second and third rounds, plus two in the seventh. No one can read Bill Belichick’s mind (we imagine it’s full of X’s, O’s, and secret fishing spots off of Nantucket).
