End of Day One at the NFL Draft


                                  

What a wild day it has been, the almost frugal to a fault New England Patriots move up twice: first trading the (27th and 93rd) picks to Cincinnati for the 21st pick where they took Syracuse Defensive End Chandler Jones, then trading the (31st and 126th) picks to Denver for the 25th pick where they snagged Alabama Linebacker Dont'a Hightower.

I caught up with ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss, WEEI's Christopher Price and Comcast Sports Net: New England's Tom Curran.

The Pat's pull off a shocker, trading up yet again to take Alabama LB Dont'a Hightower.
 Stay tuned for more reaction on the pick.

Instant Reaction: Chandler Jones

I caught up with Scott Zolak and Brian Lowe for some instant reaction on the Pat's drafting of Syracuse DE Chandler Jones.

The Pats trade up! New England takes Chandler Jones at 21

The Pats trade up for the first time since 2003 and take Syracuse DE Chandler Jones.
More on Jones after the draft is over. (sorry about the quality)

Catching up with season ticket holders


I caught up with a few Patriot's season ticket holders as they headed into the draft party.
It's becoming pretty obvious that the fans want the team to help out last years abysmal defense.

Let the Count Down Begin...
