" Patriots today which is their -- show that's on there it's on every day during the season for a half an hour. There's a million different reasons you should go there but in my opinion the only reason to go there is because Christina Akron. My host the show yet why is Chris I'm fabulous carried out I know Brian Lois in the same -- thanks a lot Paul Perillo slapping backs up. I've decided backside in my head for saying that -- into the Mike decided -- tank so you guys seriously do great job with that show all -- long. And you the -- first draft going through it leading up to it coming through right."

" This is yes this is my first season with the team and this is my very first draft in this experience appearing. This event and this is pretty cool on enjoying it's a fire reading about the draft do we think about on this. It's fine I think I feel people can really get into it you know so much leading up to way it should be a big event because you so much stock going into it. That's hopefully you know it's a good day it's a fun weekend and obviously this is a huge event -- is great."

" But says something about the fan base here in New England where okay were fired up for the regular season the games matter. People will get together have a party here Gillette Stadium for the rats also crazy BR span."

" Right no it it is unbelievable I think -- a thousand people -- appear in this event alone and it's happening every you know every city around the world with the teens and -- for the fans to really get into have a lot of fine it's like almost of terrible at this point with the rules in the stuff on the hearing about. Did the NCAA bracket -- and it was just unbelievable. What do you think Christina give us your opinion -- that's going to doing and stay there at seven in the going to trade. I I have been leaning towards I think they're going to trade out and -- these guys later on but the names popping up you know if they do -- seven and again Gholston but he still still there and now I -- Mike yeah Jesus do they now write much now on right there -- QB CB yet he beats out but I anyway yes Cella. I am interested to see they're doing so many opinions everybody you know. -- different things but that means popped up more than one Sanong. You know apparently they're pretty unpredictable from one of her this is my first draft pick them but after that women as young inside the -- the inside scoop a player out there and I guess what I told my -- idiot and I only know so I think your but he knows the same at this point sell an exciting to see what happens."

" You're preparing for the draft and I wonder you know we've been around as for awhile now and I'm still surprised -- about the number of web sites pundits TV time radio time spent on this were you surprised to doing your research and get ready to strap just how much. Time is put into predicted great predicting where guys are going to be taken."

" Definitely and you know. Any how often it changing his. You know it's one thing in -- 16 their very first prediction to you wonder you know what's going on what makes them change. And it's pretty crazy how up and down and isn't a little period of time I think building up to this day sell."

" We're about ten minutes away from the start the draft again patriots are probably going to pick within the first dollar unless everybody's every single minute. Leading up to that you guys have when the season starts -- show. Every single day on patriots dot com it's called patriots today it to happen out after this day after this weekend. The players can become any of the meet and greets there's going to be rookie mini camp coming up in -- pretty soon what are you guys have a coming up over the next couple weeks of patriots and."

" Common -- we've actually had a let go when nine from the NFL I annual meetings. We didn't been doing some feature stories that I'll be aired it kind of on the web and -- all -- later on in the -- then to see what you get these guys do in the off season off the field. How they are human beings you know that kinda thing which we used to do like what did you talk rubble somewhere have just found in West Palm Beach, Florida I Heath Evans from there. And he has a great foundation started against sexual abuse. And that's his platform he had about -- of the players on the plane golfer celebrity tournament it was a lot of finally we got to go and be part of it and I'm just more that later on on our -- in. All access the other than that you know without mini camps coming up and then. Training camp seems like turn on the corners out here we -- the other players are thinking and attitude in mind that they're not ready for I don't think so they don't get much of the breaks down."

" We see the players here in their element they're very football oriented on patriots on the website when you guys do you shall patriots today. Are you able to get access to them we talked about -- west policy Heath Evans. Yet to see what their guard down a little bit some of these feature pieces where. As fans that's why would go there because I see with a helmets on and after a game of their race they're all games speak I have to believe that -- bringing unique one of -- access to the Webster yet -- I mean its -- that we we only. We brag about absolutely."

" No wait it's called they do come down out throughout the season actually in the offseason we have we've had a couple of come down. And none yet -- they're more relaxed when he's not going on obviously. But they do you know you kinda get that feature more human interest side -- then you know what -- like to do off the field who they are. They let loose a little that they tell jokes to the personality so we do -- that -- on the wed and then throughout the features that we do with our other programs now."

" But again it's patriots today it's on patriots dot com I know -- reps -- has always been way ahead of the curve and happy draft this person thinking then my best NT you guys I think they have neon so you're -- your prediction before you go we think if they Colston bush you -- agree I don't -- postal stereotypical -- think it's going to be burning goals in the world to be talking about after."

" Everything together and clap and cheer and hopefully that's the case right if they trade out in its own other how many minutes of what he's thinking right. Price -- his parents thing that's Kristina Akra it's patriots dot com and ex patriots today we're live near the fidelity investments clubhouse. I'm Mike many -- team which stern"
