Caserio explained that - at this point - similarities are being drawn between players who are in the league so projections can be made. For instance, if the Patriots believed 2011 prospect Cam Jordan was similar to Willie McGinest, they would find film of McGinest while he was at USC and match that to the way Jordan looked at Cal. It's an exercise that takes "a lot of time" said Caserio. (By the way, Cam Jordan doesn't remind me of Willie McGinest . . . just a for-instance).
When a player is flagged for an issue, whether it be physical or character-related, the Patriots don't enter that into evaluation until all football evaluation is made. Find out how good the football player is, then - when deciding where he fits - enter the "alerts" into the equation. Don't downgrade the player for the person in the evaluation process.
Caserio said the foundation is being laid right now for trades. Who wants to move? Who wants to come up? Who wants to go down? Those are the conversations. The hard discussion, though, begins five to seven picks before the team is on the clock.
