Tuesday edition of PFT PM.

It's draft week.

We'll have plenty of draft coverage at Pro Football Talk.com

and also each weekday morning on PFT Live in advance of the big event, which is coming on Thursday night.

But today, I mean, we're two weeks removed from the publication by the New York Post to photos of Patriots coach,

Mike Vrable, and former athletic reporter Diana Rusini.

The photos, as I've said many times, are what they are. The statements

issued by Vrabel, Rucini, and by the athletic are what they are. And it's up to people to make

their own conclusions about whether or not there's any daylight between the photos and the

characterizations of them. Now, Vrable hasn't said anything since the statement that he provided to the post.

And among other things, he called the situation laughable and said it doesn't deserve any further response.

The Patriots had a pre-draft press conference last Monday.

Frable wasn't involved in it. In fairness, the schedule the team put out in March didn't

mention that he would be there. It only mentioned VP of player personnel, Elliot Wolf, but still,

there had been nothing more from Vrable. He had provided the statement to the post, and he had disappeared.

And the expectation was he would talk to reporters again during the draft.

Most teams do a daily availability after round one, after Friday night, rounds two and three,

and then at some point on Saturday the final day of the

draft and Tom Kern and I spent some time on pf2 live this morning obviously tom covers the

Patriots for NBC Sports Boston we tried to project when we would next year from brable

given the way the Patriots have handled this,

we assumed there wouldn't be anything
