QuoteHow did the Patriots end up getting exactly what they needed without budging an inch? Despite rumors they were going to deal their pick at the end of the first round to the Texans, Bill Belichick’s team somehow came away with a player it could have justified grabbing 15 spots earlier. Although the Patriots were a respectable 13th against the run per DVOA last year, that was with Vince Wilfork, who was a cap casualty this offseason.

While the Patriots can expect to get more out of 2014 first-rounder Dominique Easley this season, the 290-pound defensive tackle simply doesn’t do the same things that Wilfork, nominally playing the same position, did for years and years. The 319-pound Brown can’t expect to play like Wilfork overnight, but he has the frame to hold up as a two-gapping tackle if Belichick wants to use him that way. Brown was regarded as arguably the best run defender in this class, and Belichick will be able to use him for 40 snaps a game to clog up the interior of the defense while Jamie Collins and Jerod Mayo run free behind him. We don’t know if Brown will be an above-average pro yet, so it’s impossible to say this is a great pick. Given pre-draft projections and analysis of where the Patriots are weakest, though, it sure seems like a logical one.

Thanks to Jayman I am now keen to join an NFL fantasy league for 2015/16 :P (The League is AMAZING!) So yeah, problem is I don't really support a team, or know anything other than the basics regarding NFL, so this will be interesting :P

Texans

Never won a championship and won't in the next couple years so nobody can call you a bandwagoner, but they have the GOAT in JJ Watt and a few bro-tier players in Cushing, Foster, Lechler and Strong.

That's why I go for the Capitals, Oviiiii <3

Minnesota are a team I'd recommend. Good young talent and haven't been that successful so no bandwagoner!

I've got them as one of the big risers this season.

Don't do it brah

Bills, Browns, Texas, Colts, Jags, Titans, Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, Giants, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Niners, take your pick

Don't go for the vikings, they only have one cool player. showerstain QB and child-abuser running back.

Actual season in September, players getting cut and a month of pre-season before then

If you want to live on 1980s success then the Forty-Whiners are the team you want. :)

Man that defence is looking mean, especially with Rex at the helm. Pretty scared to go up against it as a pats fan.
But that O-line and QB situation would worry me heaps if I were a Bills supporter

I'm just hoping we have a bit of a competition in the division this year. Gets a little boring absolutely dominating the whole division for over a decade  :-X

Miami are who I'm worried about. Decent offense and with Suh it takes that defense to a new level. Jets and Bills still have scrubs as QB - not worried about them. We can win 9-3 if we have to.
