Patriots meet with Brooks Foster, Brandon Tate

Posted Apr 14, 2009
The New England Patriots hosted UNC receivers Brooks Foster and Brandon Tate at Gillette Stadium this week, emphasizing that their preparations for the April 25-26 draft are as much about 2010 as they are the upcoming season. With a wide receiver depth chart topped by Randy Moss and Wes Welker - arguably the NFL's top tandem - the Patriots wouldn't seem to need another pass catcher as a high priority. (Boston Globe)
