Saturday, January 29th, 2011

While you are probably able to read tons of initial reaction of what went on today at the Senior Bowl, we’re going to take a couple of days to re-watch the game a few times and fully digest exactly what happened.

This Tuesday, we’ll be back with some more NEPD Radio to talk about what we learned. As always, please send us your questions (Senior Bowl or not) by comment, email, or twitter.

We’ll also go into the whole Larry Fitzgerald situation – that should be interesting.

Here is what we’ll be discussing:

Open Thread: Offensive Line

2011 NFL Draft: Top 5 OT

Tyron Smith - 2011 NFL Draft

Could this USC Junior be the best in the nation at offensive tackle?

Editor’s Note: This is our Top 5 OL List for all NFL teams originally published on Patriots Insider. Check back tomorrow for our top offensive linemen for the Patriots.
