On the beat: Danny O'Neil, beat writer, Seattle Times

Analysis: "I don't see (this player) stepping in and being the Week 1 starter, but I do see him as a player who's going to get a lot of rotation, someone who's on the field for 30 to 40% of Week 1 and someone who does grow into that type of dominant player."

Analysis: "He's a guy that fits that Patriots mold. They're more of a zone blocking scheme, they're not going to necessarily power you or maul you, they run a lot of screens, they get to the edge, they run out of spread formations -- they need their (this position) to move around."
