Now with Gronk officially retiring I wonder if the Pats would be willing to make a deal to trade up and get either one of them?

Oh, I see. Its March, like the month on the calendar but also like the verb, so they are MARCH-ing towards the first round. This is the best headline ever.

If you watch the video in the story, Fant was well aware of the opening in New England.

I haven't been following the mocks too closely, but I see today SI has Hock 7th and Fant 12th.

That's up from 12th and 32nd just a week ago!

Man, we are going to miss those guys. Important to keep in mind though, going into the season, no one was thinking TJ would be an early entry and possible top-10 pick. And yet here we are.

I did not see many mentioning Hooker as the top DB in the B1G and an early entry candidate prior to the year, either.

Going into 2017, no one thought Josh Jackson would be an early entry.

Going into 2016, no one had any idea who Nick Easley was, and yet he has been our most productive WR for 2 straight years and will be on an NFL team next year.

If history has taught us anything about this program, we know that there are some stars in the wings, many of whom we might not even be considering yet.

These mock drafts are all over the place. Some have both in the Top 10, some don't even have them in the 1st round.
