Matty V. looks at what some draft sites have been saying about Rob Blanchflower. He'll probably be a late round pick, if drafted, so his name will probably be called tomorrow. Free agents will sign Saturday.

The Boston Herald says Blanchflower tries to catch on. Nice quote in the article about Coach Whipple:

"“Coach Whipple has been great. Every scout and NFL coach that has come in here speaks so highly of him and tells me what a great guy he is. He’s really helped me a lot,” Blanchflower said. “He has reached out to me. He loves UMass. He loves it here. He is so passionate about the university.”

The UMass website reports Blanchflower is prepared for the draft.
