Shepard Has Been Widely Mocked as a Great Fit for NE

As the 2016 NFL Draft draws closer we’ll profile some of the players that may be on the Patriots radar that we feel would be a great fit.

The Patriots suffered a rash of injuries in 2015 and many were on the WR core. Brandon Gibson and Brian Tyms didn’t even make it out of training camp. Then Aaron Dobson went on IR, and Julian Edelman missed two months with a broken foot. Danny Amendola trudged on like a good soldier, but the team was forced to rely on Keshawn Martin and rookie Chris Harper to provide too many snaps for the offense.
