Post-Draft Outlook: A closer look at the Patriots' picks: 7/232 -- Julian Edelman, WR, 6-0, 198, Kent State...Why not try to find lightning a bottle in the seventh round? It's unlikely Edelman is being brought in here to be the next David Givens, but the Patriots are searching for kick-return talent with Hobbs dealt on draft day. A player such as Edelman could fill the role Matthew Slater failed to fill last year or, at the very least, provide enough competition to push the more established players. Edelman also played quarterback in college for the Flashes, so it's up in the air as to how the Patriots will do. Perhaps he's just an arm to help get the wide receivers some work in camp. - by The Sports Xchange

Draft Scout Julian Edelman News
01/14/10 - WR Julian Edelman, a rookie converted quarterback, caught 37 passes, and the bulk of that production came when he filled in for Wes Welker in the No. 2 slot.
01/10/10 - WR Julian Edelman started Sunday in place of Wes Welker (knee, IR), earning his fifth straight start to close out his rookie season. The seventh-round pick and converted college quarterback's playoff debut saw him become the first Patriot to score two touchdowns, on receptions of 6 yards and 1 yard.
01/06/10 - WR Julian Edelman likely will be the focal point of Baltimore's game plan with Wes Welker out. Edelman had a career day against Houston in Week 17 and shares many of the same traits as Welker, minus the experience.
01/04/10 - WR Julian Edelman set a career high in receptions with 10 for 103 yards, besting the eight receptions for 98 yards he had against the Jets on Sept. 20. The Patriots will be counting on more of the same from him in the postseason with WR Wes Welker out due to a knee injury.
11/24/09 - WR Julian Edelman had three catches for 26 yards against New York, brining his rookie season total to 26 receptions for 228 yards and one score. It's the most receptions for a New England rookie since Deion Branch's 43 in 2002.
