New England Stands Pat with Mankins, Pounce on Pouncey

Logan Mankins held out last season, and he may not come back this year.  Mike Pouncey is clearly the best interior lineman in this draft.  His identical twin started for Pittsburgh all last season, and there is little reason to doubt that Mike won’t be every bit the player Maurkice is.  Of course this changes if the Patriots and Mankins come to terms.

The Patriots also have a bevy of picks, so moving up to take Julio Jones would probably make sense for them and the Texans.

New England won’t reach, and they’ll take a player that fits their system wherever they pick.  Given their history with  hold-outs, Mike Pouncey is their man.
