Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports Obviously, following the draft the Patriots have added to their roster with several of the draft selections already signing contracts, but is it the players who have left that’s of more significance? (For a full draft recap see the great work from Tom Shaw-Mellors https://www.patspropaganda.com/patriots-2022-draft-recap/) Going back aways the Patriots… Continue reading Addition by Subtraction?

Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Tight End
Now you know I couldn’t write any draft articles and not tell you all about some of the tight ends for this year. Whilst I know the Patriots early round picks need to be spent elsewhere, and I’m not in any argument, I want me a cornerback and some offensive line please. But, late round… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Tight End
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Running Back
To say I was weak on my defensive line research is nothing compared to my running back scoping. At the moment my personal opinion is that the Patriots don’t need to think about running backs this year. I appreciate there are many of you out there who are running back enthusiasts, and I applaud you!… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Running Back
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Wide Receiver
With the recent signing of DeVante Parker, the feel in the air is that the Patriots might not be on course for that top round wide receiver. I know how that will upset many of you John Metchie fans, but there could be a back-up plan. The Patriots still don’t have that typical slot receiver,… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Wide Receiver
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Linebacker
The linebacker class this year is filled with quality, and I think many of us are hoping the Patriots will tap into that resource. Studying the selection at the combine, one guy really caught my eye but with the way things are transpiring, it would seem less and less likely that the Patriots will get… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Linebacker
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Offensive Line
I know many of you may groan at the idea of the Patriots taking an offensive lineman, but a position of need is a position of need, regardless of how exciting it may be, and I kinda get excited about the O-line. It’s the protector of your most precious commodity, the quarterback. So I’m ready… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Offensive Line
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Defensive Line
Fans call for sexy, and defense isn’t usually sexy, but they do say defense wins you championships, and who says championship winning isn’t sexy, huh? Cornerbacks and linebackers are the defense that are on Patriots fans minds at the moment, and quite rightly, but we need a bit of further investing too, Christian Barmore needs… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Defensive Line
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Edge
(AP Photo/Steve Luciano) This is one of those situations where the Patriots have plenty of need, but this edge guy looks real good! It’s tricky at draft time. You see all those great players with potential, but your team only has so many picks. (unless you’re a KC Chiefs fan!). Not only that, but they… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Edge
Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Cornerbacks
(AP Photo/Steve Luciano) Cornerback has been a bit of a controversy in New England for a year or two now. First the Gilmore thing. Surely the Patriots won’t let their top MVP cornerback leave… ah he wants lots of cash without showing how his injury recovery is going. Yeah, Bill isn’t too fond of…. Oh,… Continue reading Clazzy Clare does the Draft: Cornerbacks
So that’s it then at fullback… or is it?
Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots reportedly are not utilising a traditional fullback in the 2022 season, but fullback aficionados do not worry just yet. We see from the coaching staff that coach Bill may not be one for ‘labels’, and so in that narrative there may be a lot less for fullback… Continue reading So that’s it then at fullback… or is it?
