According to "two NFL front office men," new Patriots DT Armond Armstead likely would have been a third-round pick in April's draft.
A third front-office man believes the 22-year-old CFL product would have been a third- or fourth-round pick. "He flashed a lot," a personnel executive said. "His hand use was good. I’m not sure he’s Cameron Wake, but he can be a solid NFL player." Armstead will likely be a situational player as he adjusts to the NFL game in 2013, but it's clear the Pats made the top reserve/future signing of the offseason. Jan 30 - 4:59 PM

Armond Armstead - DL - Patriots

Toronto Argonauts GM Jim Barker believes Patriots futures signee Armond Armstead has legit NFL first-round talent.

Armstead was an emerging player at USC before suffering a heart attack in 2011. "We don’t often in our league get NFL first round (draft picks)," Barker said. "He would have been a low first, early second." Barker also confirmed Armstead's heart has "checked out." The Pats may have gotten a reserve/future steal in Armstead, who's only 22 years old and dominated in the CFL.

Armond Armstead - DL - Patriots

Updating an earlier item, DT Armond Armstead's deal with the Patriots is for three years and $1.49 million, with $655,000 guaranteed.

It's a strong sign the Patriots expect the former USC Trojan to crack their 53-man roster in 2013. Just 22 years old, Armstead spent 2012 in the CFL after suffering a heart attack and missing USC's 2011 season. At 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, Armstead was a two-year starter for the Trojans before his health scare. He has experience at both tackle and end.

Armond Armstead - DL - Patriots

Patriots signed former USC and Toronto Argonauts DT Armond Armstead to a reserve/future contract.

Armstead worked out for several teams over the last week or so, including the Colts and Eagles. Armstead was forced to the CFL in 2012 after missing the 2011 season at USC after suffering a heart attack. Armstead, listed at 6-foot-5 and 298 pounds, recorded six sacks last season as the Argonauts won the Grey Cup. ESPN's Adam Schefter called him "the equivalent of a high draft pick."
