Patriots Insider Radio: This Week in Patriots News 4/8

Topics: Current Hot Topics, recent visitors and special guest interview with Wyoming running back Devin Moore.

Devin Moore is a top 20 running back in this year's Draft class. Flying well under the radar of many teams, and mock draft experts, Moore is out to prove he belongs at the next level. At 5-foot-9, 190-pounds, Moore is on par with other smaller backs who carry the "third-down back" or "specialist" label.

Moore impressed at Wyoming's Pro day. He turned in an impressive 4.35 and 4.37 40-yard time, better than every running back at the NFL Combine. He's the second fastest running back in the Draft according to Tom Marino (Link).

What surprised us when we spoke with Moore was his bench press. Moore pressed 225 pounds an amazing 28 times. TWENTY-EIGHT! To put that in perspective, you have to compare him to top Draft prospects like USC linebacker Clay Matthews (23), Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry (25), and USC linebacker Rey Maualuga (23) -- all considered near locks to be picked in the first round.

Compared to the running backs in the Draft, Moore blows away the competition. Virginia RB Cedric Peerman was the closes with 27 reps on the bench and a 4.41 40 time.

Listen to the replay as we ask Moore about his workout and his Draft experience so far.

Three Compensatory Picks For The Patriots

New England Gains Three Comp Picks

By Site staff PatriotsInsider.com Posted Mar 24, 2009 New England gains three more picks for the 2009 NFL Draft courtesy of the compensatory system. With 11* picks overall, the Patriots are armed and dangerous

The Compensatory picks were handed out yesterday by the league. The Patriots hauled in their fair share netting 3 more picks in rounds three through six. Combined, New England now has 12 picks in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Compensatory picks are based upon free agents signed or lost from the previous season. New England lost three key contributors; Asante Samuel (Eagles), Donte Stallworth (Browns) and Randall Gay (Saints).

The value of those picks is determined by a secret formula. The components of that formula include playing time, compensation and postseason honors.

Here are the Patriots picks for 2009:

1st round   1 pick (23rd overall)
2nd round:  3 picks (34t, 47t, 58)
3rd round:  2 picks (89, 97*)
4th round:  1 pick
5th round:  1 picks (23rd in the round:TRADED to Eagles, 170*)
6th round:  2 picks (26th  in the round, 207*)
7th round:  1 pick (25th in the round)

Report: Patriots To Trade For Julius Peppers

If you can believe what NFL.com is reporting, the Patriots may be in the market to sign Julius Peppers.

Report: Patriots To Trade For Julius Peppers

Julius Peppers may end up in New England according to a recent report by Vic Carucci. Wouldn't that be a kicker to teams in the AFC who thought they closed the gap on the Patriots?

Though the deal has yet to be confirmed by other sources, Carucci believes both sides are closing in.
