New England Patriots 2014 NFL Draft Preview CBS Boston
If there is one thing we learned over his 14 years in New England, it that Bill Belichick loves having plenty of draft picks at his disposal. This year, he has just eight.
Belichick had even less when the 2013 draft kicked off, with just five picks to work with, but trading their first rounder to Minnesota gave them three additional selections over the weekend.
The Patriots head into the draftin a very different situation than the one they faced in 2013. While there are still holes to plug on the roster, there are no glaring needs this time around. Last year, the Patriots entered the draft with giant holes on cheap nfl jerseys the defensive line and in the secondary, and a cannon sized need at wide receiver.
This time, cheap prom dresses online they still have needs but they are mostly from a depth standpoint.
Defensive Line:Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly are both coming off an injury, as is newly signed defensive end Will Smith. Not to mention, those three are kind of old.
The Patriots defensive line did their best when Wilfork went down early lastseason, but opponents were able to have long stretches of success running the ball against New England, and the Patriots struggled to put much pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
A rookie wouldn fix those issues, butthe Patriots will likely be looking for some interior help on the line to rush the quarterback, and provide some more depth behind their aging defensive linemen.
Offensive Line: Keeping Tom Brady on his feet will always be a priority in New England, and last year the Patriots weren great at doing that. It not that they had a terrible year, but Brady didn always have time on his side, and he hit the ground hard much more than he would have liked.
The Patriots have a good young core on the line with the likes of Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer and Marcus Cannon, anchored by veterans Dan Connolly and Ryan Wendell and All Pro guard Logan Makins. But health has been an issue with Vollmer, and the team could be looking at some more contract drama with Mankins next year, when he scheduled to earn $7 million and have a cap hit buy fake oakleys of $11 million.
It not a position they address in the first few rounds, but the Patriots should be looking for some young talent on the offensive line.
Tight End:Rob Gronkowski is hurt once again, and doesn even know when or if he return. That leaves Michael Hoomanawanui as the only healthy tight end on the roster. Expect that to change this weekend.
Safety: Yes, even with the addition of Darrelle Revis, the New England secondary still needs some help.
It not as glaring a need as it has in years past, but some more depth at safety or a safety that can really put a hit on opponents would be a welcome addition.
The Patriots also had the 29th overall pick last year, and sent it to the Minnesota Vikings for four additional picks. Those became linebacker Jamie Collins (second round), corner Logan Ryan (third round) and receiver Josh Boyce (fourth round), whilethe fourth pick (a seventh rounder) was in the package that brought LeGarrette Blount to New England from Tampa Bay.
There a very good chance the Patriots do something similar this year, moving out of the first round again to stock up on picks over the following two days. It something Belichick has donetwice in the last five drafts, and 98.5 The Sports Hub Felger Massarotti took a look at those trades earlier this week:

But should Belichick and the Patriots keep their first round pick and make a selection around midnight Thursday, here are a few names being mentioned in those famous mock drafts:
ESPN Mel Kiper Jr.:Ra’Shede Hageman, cheap jerseys DT Minnesota
The Patriots know their personnel and developmental plans better than I do, I have no doubts, but we both know the age of their best interior linemen is a concern, with Vince Wilfork 32 years old and Tommy Kelly 33. Hageman is the kind of player this coaching staff could turn into something special, and working in rotation this season he could provide some immediate impact as well. He has surprising athletic ability for a player of his size, with great initial quickness which can jolt blockers and disrupt plays from the inside. He also has a long frame and an impressive vertical and will disrupt passing lanes.
ESPN Todd McShay:Stephon Tuitt, DT Notre Dame
The Patriots could use some help along the defensive line, and Tuitt brings good versatility to the table. He is a top 15 player in this class based purely on talent, but there are some concerns with his motor and consistency. At this point in the first round, however, he worth the risk. I also would buy tight end Jace Amaro here. I do not buy Ra’shede Hageman. Too boom or bust. Tuitt’s a very strong Patriot kind of versatile tackle and 3 4 end with the ability to play outside, a la Vince Wilfork.
The Patriots need some size and youth on the interior of the OL, and with a possible contract issue with Logan Mankins coming next offseason, the Patriots always plan ahead.

Super Bowl XLV Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl JerseyThe Pittsburgh Clay Matthews Super Bowl Jersey SteelersThe Pittsburgh Steelers are returning to the big game for a record tying eighth time. They have won www.packersauthenticofficialshop.com/EDDIE_LACY_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.html six previous Super Bowls, four of them from 1975 1980 and two more in the last five years. This is more than any other team; basically, this "Steelers win the Super Bowl" crap was already old and boring by the end of the seventies.Star Players. The Steelers are led by one Ben Roethlisberger, nicknamed "Big Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl XLIX Jersey Ben" due to his size and presumed ability to tell time. He is known as a player who not only plays well under pressure, he positively thrives on adversity. The tougher the challenge, the better he plays. So, in order to bring about that adversity, Roethlisberger feels he must do something ungodly stupid every offseason to get ready to play. This year, Roethlisberger brought out the best in himself by getting accused of sexual assault and being suspended for the first four games.Football fans vaguely remember this guy.Star Players. The Packers are led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Although not well known outside of NFL circles, Rodgers has shown himself to be an elite player. Like Roethlisberger, Rodgers has had to overcome adversity many times along his path to success. This adversity included not being recruited by a four year college coming out of high school; being passed over for lesser talent Alex Smith with the first pick in the 2005 draft; and being forced to sit on the bench watching Brett Favre throw interceptions for three years.The Halftime ShowThe Super Bowl halftime show has come under scrutiny and criticism in recent years; while for decades the show featured such terrific acts as "Up With People" (1986) and "Michael Clay Matthews Super Bowl 49 Jersey Jackson and 3,500 Children" (1993), the 2004 appearance of Janet Jackson’s nipple caused the NFL to retreat into the past, hiring a series of performers well beyond their sell by dates.Two of the band members were unable to perform due to extreme decomposition.This year, however, the NFL has chosen a different path, tapping the Black Eyed Peas to perform. Although it wasn’t until 1997 that anyone realized what the commercial was actually for, older fans fondly remember their original befuddlement when this ad aired. And in the nearly three decades that followed, advertisers have spent billions hoping to recreate that wonderfully baffling minute.This year, the commercials are expected to include several innovative new spots, introducing the public to wonderful new inventions they’ve only heard rumors of to date; expected to be featured prominently are ads informing us of the existence of things like "cars," "beer," and "food."Postscript: A Game Was PlayedOn Sunday, 7 February 2011, Super Bowl XLV was actually played. The big story, of course, happened before the game started when Christina Aguilera performed a song reputed to be "The Star Spangled Banner." Although the lyrics were similar, the melody bore little resemblance to the American national anthem."So proudly we waved, as the twilight got reamed!"This followed a lengthy, celebrity rich reading of the American Declaration of Independence, a lofty, idealistic and inspiring piece of work that fortunately has no legal standing in America.The other big story also happened before the game (well, mostly). Several hundred fans, who had paid $800 for tickets and much more for travel and accomodations, arrived at Dallas’ magnificant $1.3 billion stadium to find that their seats were not finished. Some were shunted up to the higher reaches of the stadium and given complementary nosebleeds; others were given nice metal folding chairs in lower areas where they could almost see the game.The halftime show featured the Black Eyed Peas, a reconstituted Slash, Usher descending from the Jumbotron, a bunch of packersauthenticofficialshop.com/JORDY_NELSON_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.html faceless glowing people and various screechy noises from Fergie:Although unpleasant, the experience was arguably preferable to having the corpses of one’s childhood idols dragged onstage and hooked up to machines that make them pantomime 10 second versions of all their hits.The most memorable commercial was from Doritos, which featured actors licking orange processed cheese powder from each other’s hands and clothing. The impact of this ad was tremendous; many viewers surveyed said it was so memorable they would never eat again.

Steve Young http://www.packersauthenticofficialshop.com/CLAY_MATTHEWS_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.htmlSteve Young began his professional football career by bucking the NFL system and signing with the Los Angeles Express of the United States Football League. Despite being coveted by most NFL teams, he opted to accept a $40 million contract from the Express at a time when the USFL was trying to out bid Eddie Lacy Super Bowl Jersey the NFL for the best collegiate players.Young didn sign with Los Angeles until after the sixth game of the Eddie Lacy Super Bowl XLIX Jersey season, but he still started 12 games for them in his first season. During his rookie year he also became the first professional football player to rush for over 100 yards and throw for over 300 yards in the same game.Young was only with Los Angeles until September of 1985 when he was released from his contract and was then drafted by the Tampa Bay www.packersauthenticofficialshop.com/AARON_RODGERS_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.html Buccaneers in the 1984 NFL supplemental draft. He spent two seasons with the Bucs, starting 19 games before being traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a second and fourth round draft pick.After several frustrating seasons of waiting for the immortal Joe Montana to hang it up, Young finally got his chance as Jordy Nelson Super Bowl 49 Jersey the full time starting quarterback for the 49ers. He showed signs of how great he could be on the occasions that he filled in for Montana due to injury or in a mop up role, and he quickly developed into one of the premier quarterbacks in the league once he was handed the reigns full time.Young piled up many awards and honors throughout his Hall of Fame career. In 1992 he was named NFL Most Valuable Player and was named starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl. He was also named Player of the Year by Sporting News and Illustrated.
