Chat with Mike Reiss on Thursday at noon

Mike,

I love what the Pats did in the draft. I love the idea of Burgess coming to the pats. Two questions, do you think they get him and who do you see at the starting secondary in 09

Mike,

Everyone is talking about Tom Brady's return. I have one simple question about the guys up front, How do the offensive line look?

Hi Michael, I noticed Brandon Tate had his surgery 2 months after Tom Brady. Any chance Tate ready for camp in July? Keep up great work!

what 3 games do you see as being the toughest for the Patriots to win that are not being played at home & why?

Mike, why hasn't Pepper Johnson got a look from other teams for DC jobs?

Are all NE sports writers prohibited to say anything bad about Tom Brady?

Hi John in Mendon. The Burgess stuff was covered in the chat. I think the Raiders got some cold feet when the discussions came up, fearing another Randy Moss-like result. If the Patriots are serious about a 2 or 3, which I have some doubt on, I think the chances are very good it could happen. Also hit on the starters in the secondary in the chat. ... Gerry, too tough to tell on the line at this point because there is no contact ... Tim, got to that one in the chat ... Don, I think the game at Indy and the back to back road, prime time tilts at New Orleans and Miami are toughest. ... Timmy, I think Pepper is loyal to Belichick ... Leon Hess, no hesitation to say anything bad on Brady. Just don't see the reason to at this point.

Mike,

I'm suprised no has mentioned this, but, with all the cutbacks in the offices of NFL teams and in the NFL offices in New York, I was a little taken aback that the owners meetings were held at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. I think they should have found a place that was a little less glitzy. Sending a bad message. Keep up the good work.

Great. Now Leon is trolling the live chat. Mike, do yourself a favor & ignore this troll in the future, or abuse him like the rest of use constantly do.

mike I know draft picks are hard to predict but which one do you see with the most upside
