To me, this is the 53rd player, and I really want to bolster our ST. Sullivan is a prospect for the interior line, but he needs a lot of work. Evans is ready to contribute, and it looks like he's playing the role of Matt Chatham this year. If that's the case, I think this is Seeley's choice.

Based solely on upside, Mincey seems like the smart choice. I'm telling you, Alexander is the current incarnation of Tuitele; great TC story who had no real future in the NFL.

Have to admit, this is a close call. I'd say, whoever's healthy. If they're both ready to go, I take Tebucky because he's a difference maker on ST... and that's something we haven't had since 2001, before he left.

Either way. This is a call for BB and co, but Gostkowski is my sentimental choice.

So, you're right. We're pretty much aligned afterall.

MG -
Ashworth was the back-up LT the last 3 year, not Gorin. That is why Ashworth started there last year when Kaczur was out.

If Gorin is the back-up LT, the Pats better pray that Light stays healthy and that Kaczur gets healthy quickly. Or that Mankins can slide over to LT from LG. I say this becasue Gorin is such a lousy RT that he'll be even worse at LT.

OK, we all want Kaycur to get healthy soon. Would you put Britt on the 53?
