I’m back after a much-needed two-week respite in Southwest Florida.
The Underwear Olympics has been completed! The Patriots had a slew of representative at the combine including Head Coack Jerod Mayo and Director of College Scouting (defacto GM) Eliot Wolf. Both spoke to the media last week, an obvious departure from Bill Belichick, and gave some insight into the new draft process.
Wolf is just beginning to tinker with the way the team will be drafting and scouting, getting away from the Belichick scheme of role specific drafting. Wolf will rely heavily on the Green Bay method his father utilized and draft the Best Available athlete rather than specific needs.
