The next one

Rigth now for me Bodden because I think he might be out best CB and I have been a Hobbs fan.

Fred Taylor is what I was hoping Maroney would be:
YouTube - Fred Taylor Aloha

He gets hurt too often, but when he plays there is almost no one better. An amazing combo of speed, moves, vision, and strength.

My thoughts exactly. I've always be impressed with Taylor and my guess is that he still has a few plays in him . He's short term excitement though. Bodden is all upside though too.

If all are healthy, Galloway will make the Pats offense extremely dynamic. Lets see... you take a guy that claims he can run a 4.3 40, who is a veteran, has great hands and is inserted as the third WR with two Pro Bowlers. Exciting? Heck yeah!

Corners? Only exciting when their not getting burnt, intercepting the ball or putting big hits on receivers.

Haha nice I was thinking about saying the exact same.

Anyway I have to say Bodden excites me a lot. No homo. Of all the FAs we have signed he probably has the most raw talent and potential. Not only that but his impact will be huge in secondary, I have no doubt he will be the #1 CB coming out of training camp.

Poor TBC.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he remained forever locked at zero on this poll and somehow lead the team in tackles or something...

Shouldn't there be an Adam Seward selection? IN theory, he's been our next FA acquisition 2 years now..... Oh, the humanity!

Brady

PICK FIVE FOR YOUR FORMATION
Taylor, Morris, Faulk
Moss, Welker
Galloway
Baker

WOW!

For me, Taylor will be the difference maker.
================================

On defense, Bidden won't be a pro-bowler. He will be a starter. He'll get burned sometimes. He won't be all that exciting. Don't get me wrong, He will be the difference maker on defense.

I see Banta-Cain finally got a vote. We've been discussing this in another thread. As of now, he will be coming for Woods on passing downs. He could be very important indeed to our pass defense.

I voted Bodden just because he has the most upside of the bunch.

Actually, all of these moves are exciting when taken together. Individually, they are less exciting. It all translates to a very successful offseason so far.
