-I need to get this off my chest, Mel Kiper is terrible at his job, for how many picks he’s gotten wrong over the years how is he a draft expert? Call me a gambling expert because I hit on a few parlays this year. Get this guy off my TV screen during draft week. Am I wrong?

-Are you a draft guy? Do you watch the draft and if you do how much time do you put into watching the draft?

-Zero buzz around the draft this year, Aiden Hutchinson EDGE (Michigan), Kyle Hamilton Safety (Notre Dame), Kayvon Thibodeaux EDGE (Oregon), Evan Neal OT (Alabama), and Ikem Ekwonu OT (NC State). Is there zero buzz because unlike last year, this years draft class lacks the Quarterback position?

-Boston show, need to talk about the Patriots, we own the 21st pick where do you see us going, do we trade up, trade down, or do we actually make a pick at 21? If we keep it, what position should we go after?

Cornerbacks (10) are tied for fourth with linebackers for having the most prospects ranked inside my top 100 prospects. Wide receivers (16), edge defenders (15) and offensive tackles (11) all have more.

Looking at that there is a ton of talent coming out for what I think are all positions we need to address during the draft, CB, LB, Edge, OT, and WR. Seeing that does it make you feel a little better that there is a lot of potential for Bill to have a good draft this year?

-What would give the Patriots a great draft? Obviously it would be just on paper but last year after the draft I think we looked at it and thought Bill had a great draft, and also If he doesn’t draft a CB, LB, or WR in the first 4 rounds is that grounds for a bad draft right off the bat?

-Is this a make or break draft for Bill Belichick?
