I think Fred Taylor signs with the Patriots any day now, taking running back off the need list to some degree. Laurinaitis didn't help himself at the combine, running a 4.8 and looking so-so in the drills. But he's a Patriots-type of player, with tremendous character and work ethic. Ohio State ...

In fact I even can find mock drafts where Maclin slips to the Jets. And to that I say hooray. Why do I want Maclin? Because he's exactly what the Jets need. A ...
