This guy will develop into a monster in Belichicks defense. Very athletic and big. Belichick is smart drafting Spikes and Cunningham, they know how to play with each other. The Patriots LB core with Mayo, Spikes, Cunningham, Guyton, Woods, Crable and Banta-Cain can potentially be the best LB core in the NFL. Key word, potentially as there are great LB cores right now in the NFL like Ravens, Jets, Steelers, Dolphins, 49ers, etc. But the Patriots just upgraded their LB core greatly.
Whoooooo New England has made themselves WAYY better out of this draft. Brandon Spikes is the exact type of ILB they need to combo with Mayo.This way they can move Guyton to Thomas' old spot and then have Cunningham to come and play a good bench role. Ohh man watch out the old punchdrunk smashmouth NE defense is baackkk good job to Belicheck!!
It was important that he could rush and cover. Coached by Meyer so he'll fit BB's scheme well. With McCourty too, I expect them to blitz more. We saw how it looked experimenting with Meriweather. They have to with the way comp is stiffening up in the AFC East. With Spikes, Guyton can roam outside where he has blazing speed. Defense is definitely shaping up. Realistically though, they'll need another year playing together. But we'll see.
Jermaine is my cousin , I watched him all the time but he hates that I'm an Alabama fan lol

I am not impressed. I think the patriots should have gone with Dunlap.

@djcripsen Dunlap is very undisciplined. Cunningham was seen by competing teams to be the better player.
