The patriots have a pivotal draft coming up, and Jerod Mayo may have outlined which direction new england will go on wednesday.
Mayo was officially introduced as head coach at foxboro, mass., and quickly demonstrated why his tenure would be drastically different from that of his predecessor, Bill Belichick.
