FOXBORO, Mass. -- I've always loved the NFL draft. The buildup is exciting, and it's even more fun to watch as it plays out unpredictably. And while I think the Patriots had one of the best draft classes this year, there were a lot of teams that did well to improve last week. But as much as I love the draft, I can't say enough how excited I am that it's over because that puts the focus directly on the field. Coincidentally -- or maybe not, actually -- the Patriots transitioned into their second phase of offseason workouts this week....

It did not take long for Jabar Gaffney to catch on with a team after being released by the Washington Redskins earlier this week.
Gaffney will reunite with both the New England Patriots and his on again/off again OC Josh McDaniels who also coached him in Denver. Stability is the word that always comes to mind with Gaffney whose production has never waned.
The Patriots have a very...

Draft Grades: New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are always a tough team to predict in the draft, and Bill Belichick proved why once again. Belichick builds his own draft board and sticks to it, regardless of how it matches up with the consensus opinion.
I was somewhat surprised by the trade up for Chander Jones, but I like the pick. He’s a perfect fit at end/linebacker in the Patriots hybrid defense...

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Patriots owner Robert Kraft fought through tears Thursday to share one of his favorite memories of Junior Seau. The gesture was as genuine as they come. Kraft found out reporters were at Gillette Stadium, so he walked to the media room to reveal a note Seau sent him after Kraft's wife, Myra, died last year. The note was written inside a folded white card, which...

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Matthew Slater got a rare opportunity to get some snaps at safety against the Cardinals during his rookie season in 2008, and as he jogged backed to the huddle, he looked up and had a "wow" moment as he realized he was listening to Junior Seau give some defensive orders.

Wes Welker has been locked into contract negotiations with the New England Patriots virtually since the moment the Patriots walked off the field after their Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants but there has been very little progress. Instead Welker has had the pleasure of watching the Patriots receiving core get a whole lot deeper over the offseason. The latest signing is an ex...
