    @NESN with all these wide receivers is there a chance Edelman become a db full time next season?

    I don't think he needs to move there on a fulltime basis but he'll have to stay valuable as a returner. Belichick likes him a lot. #NESNlive

    @NESN Where do you see Fletcher Cox being drafted, and what will it take for the Pats to move up and get him?

    @NESN devin mccourty. Safety or CB next season

    He's got more value as a corner but I'd bet Belichick told him to prepare for each position heading into '12. Based on need/skill. #NESNlive

    @NESN Should a KR be a priority for the Pats in the draft? Seems like it would have helped us a lot in the SB.

    They need a boost at kick returner, no doubt. Someone like Arkansas WR Joe Adams in the third round would address multiple needs. #NESNlive

    @NESN What are the options of upgrading at DB? going to draft or stick with whats there?

    @NESN With the addition of Lloyd and Gronk coming into training camp healthy, are pats fans going to witness Brady win another MVP?

    @nesn do you think janoris jenkins would fall to either 27 or 31? And would they be interested given his off-field probs and size?

    I think they definitely draft a CB, maybe Gilmore/Kirkpatrick/Jenkins in first round. Will draft safety if it's the right guy. #NESNlive

    @NESN You Think the #patriots Should sign London Fletcher, and maybe use Mayo more as an OLB ?? #NESNlive

    @NESN why would a KR help? #NESNLIVE , we have guys like underwood, welker, woodhead, slater?

    Hillis is there to complement Charles. Doesn't make sense for KC to trade him at his lowest value after injury. #NESNlive

    Brady will continue to post MVP numbers, like he did in 2011 but guys like Rodgers, Brees and other QBs will be tough competition. #NESNlive

    @NESN CB really is not a need if they have faith in Ras-I Dowling
