Get Me To The Promised Land

It appears the test case for the Patriots 2014 draft will be C.J. Fiedorowicz, the TE from Iowa New England passed on in favor of their QB of One Possible Future, Jimmy Garoppolo. I had cooled to Fiedorowicz in favor of Notre Dame’s Troy Niklas (who was off the board at #62) but the former Hawkeye was seen by many as a good fit with the Pats and good value in the 2^nd (preferably 3^rd) round. Now, he’s an opportunity missed. Should he develop into a Pro Bowl talent, Fiedorowicz will be red meat for the haters of the Patriots commentariat. At least they have something to live for.
