2011 Draft -- NE predraft contact list

[Box_O_Rocks]

The [Minnesota Golden] Gophers pro day drew scouts from only a handful of teams - Jets, Bills, Patriots, Chiefs and Vikings.

Checking the Gopher's roster, the only prospect who makes sense for NE is late round QB Adam Weber, but there is probably a number of small school and native Minnesotans working out there too. Whomever NE was scouting, Jets, Bills, and Chiefs sniffing around says he's an interesting kid.

I would be surprised if some form of contact had not been made with Cunningham, given his alma mater.

I had assumed Cunningham and Spikes both stopped for an interview half way down their 40 yard dash.

Scouts from the 49ers, Colts, Jaguars, Patriots and so on got an up close and personal look at some of Pat Hill's latest NFL hopefuls.

Offensive tackle James Carpenter also had a strong day. He was worked out by Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia and had a good all-around workout.

I could really see this kid as a mid round pick by the Pats. I've been intentionally keeping quiet on him, and despite a very good Senior Bowl week he continues to fly a bit under the radar. I could see him being the pick in the 60-92 range if the Pats don't go OT in the 1st round.

Bama Pro-Day

OL James Carpenter, who was at the combine, did a vertical jump of 20 ½ inches, an 8-foot-10 broad jump, and ran a 4.85-second short shuttle and 7.52 3-cone drill.

... the problem is 20.5" verticals suggest all the pop of a kitten. Hopefully that's a typo. Kaczur is the closest NE OL for which I have data

Height: 6044
Weight: 319
40 Yrd Dash: 5.28
20 Yrd Dash: 3.03
10 Yrd Dash: 1.85
Vertical Jump: 31 1/2
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 22
Broad Jump: 8'7"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.76
3-Cone Drill: 7.69

Not huge news, but was able to independently confirm that #Patriots scouts/coaches were at both Cal (today) & Auburn (yesterday) Pro Day.

I saw in the OP that they're looking at Julian Vandervelde. Good call---3 year starter in a program known for grooming good-to-very good OL, multiple Academic All-Big 10 and Academic All-American honoree, and a hell of a singing voice too!
