Special to BostonSportsJournal.com
Note from Bedard: As many of you know, longtime Packers beat writer Bob McGinn is one of my mentors. During my time at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, I got to learn from the best in the business: Bob and Tom Silverstein. Bob taught me his system for analyzing film and the game, and I was happy to leave draft evaluations to him. Nobody has better sources and is more thorough on draft prospects.
Bob is now a business owner like myself, as he started BobMcGinnFootball.com and he will soon be embarking on his 34th annual draft series featuring the opinions of dozens of personnel people. Subscriptions to his site and just the draft series are available and coming from someone who's already a member at his site and has read his series for years, it's well worth it. There's not a better rundown on the prospects.
To give you a taste of what you can expect from his draft series, Bob has graciously allowed us to run his post-combine series on the Top 60 prospects in the draft, where the Patriots have (basically) three picks: 31st, 43rd, and 63rd.
