Hope. The NFL draft is packaged hope. Manufactured hope. Commercialized hope. That hope from all 32 fanbases that with the right combination of picks, playoff glory is less than a year away. Maybe it is a new receiver, a shiny new cornerback. An athletic linebacker. Or a quarterback. Thanks to the New York Jets. Yes the New. York. Jets. The New England Patriots have a glimmer of hope on the quarte...

We are back friends! After a week down in North Carolina Mark Schofield is rested, not exactly tanned, and ready for the sprint to the draft.

What are some potential trade up spots if the New England Patriots want to move up...

Everything was set... My Friday afternoon was coming along wonderfully as I got things in order before heading out of town. Shows were recorded, a two-round mock draft was done for Touchdown Wire, and I was ready to shut it down for a week. Unfortunately Kyle Shanahan hates me. So instead, chaos ensued as I tried -- like everyone else in the football world -- to make sense of the trade between the...

Pat and Spags are joined by Brad Kelly to discuss the moves that the Patriots have made this offseason so far. From their big spending, to bringing back important pieces from last year, they seem prepared to make a run this season. They discuss who they should target in the draft, and who they want to see under center next season, because you know they can't go a full episode with mentioning Stidd...

The free agency period is starting to wind down and it is time to take stock. Bill Belichick has just about wrapped up grocery shopping and fresh off pulling together all the capital he could muster, Robert Kraft has opened up the books. However, some recent signings might be critical to what we can expect from the New England Patriots schematically next season. In the first half of the show we di...

The first wave of free agency is over and the New England Patriots are in great position heading into the NFL draft. While there are definitely areas on the roster than can improve, the Patriots have no obvious holes- which gives them plenty of flexibility with how they can approach the first round of the draft. Safety Patrick Chung retired- one of the great Patriots of the 2010s- but New England...

Has Bill Belichick lost his mind!? Despite what others might think, there is a plan for the future of the New England Patriots, particularly on the offensive side of the football. Sure, the franchise spent a ton of money, but when you dive into the real numbers, the potential scheme, and what it all means, it is clear there is a method to the madness. Plus, thoughts on the other stories around the...

How many times have Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots brought in a new player in free agency and handed them a top-dollar contract? Stephon Gilmore, Adalius Thomas, Rosevelt Colvin, technically Darrelle Revis, and that's about it. Well, now the Patriots have made splashes by bringing in the top two tight ends on the market in Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith and made them tied for the 3rd hi...

Say what you want about mock drafts but they can be useful as means of a simulation. A way to test out various scenarios.
