u build schemes around players... maybe we need to change our schemes a little.... This guys gonna be a beast
Maybe, maybe not. The scouts think not and Im not pinning any hopes on what will probably be a mid round draft pick.

DE and OLB are and should be the teams top priority not only in the draft but through free agency and trade during the offseason. The secondary is fine with McCourty and Bodden on the corners and Wilhite, Arrington, and Butler on the insides. Chung, Meriweather, and Sanders are a solid trio at the S position. BB needs to get these guys some help, if this group gets pressure from the front 7 they have the potential to be awesome.
I'd like to see the offense given some early draft round talent for a change. For the last half decade the defense has been given this luxury.
Add some beef upfront, a true wideout who is a legit deep threat and perhaps a skillful RB or two. The only spots on offense that are in great hands is QB, RT, 3rd down RB, TE and slot receiver. All else is fair game for improvement.
Personally, I think BB's better off at drafting defensive players in the higher rounds. he just doesn't seem to have good luck with offensive players taken in the first 2 rounds....Maroney and Chad Jackson to name a few.

Even though he isnt a burner, make a trade for Fitz, or Megatron. CJ doesnt wanna play for DET anymore hes been public about that, DET probably knows they can only keep him by franchising him so throw the number 17 pick and a third and make the trade.
I don't know, I wanted Clay Matthews but you really need to watch what position Casey plays and what he does before you compare the two because other than the hair and name they are totally different.

Exactly. On the field, they have the same motor. That's about it.
A healthy Ty Warren is key next season but he'll turn thirty before then. And Vince Wilfork is twenty-nine. So, it's imperative that New England's able to draft another young, intelligent rookie in the first round who proves himself worthy to start opposite Warren.
I don't have an opinion on Kyle Love. But if he, Ron Brace and Brandon Deaderick aren't a mainstay on the depth chart. Then I suggest the team draft Muhammad Wilkerson, or best available defensive tackle, and continue to retool the defensive line.
The main task at hand is to draft a defensive end and an outside linebacker who are efficient at plays for lost and quarterback hurry ups. Next, you daft a guard, tackle and center on the offensive line. Personally, I would feel more comfortable drafting another free safety. I want to trade Brandon Meriweather.
Also, does this team need a blocking fullback who can catch? Remember Sam Gash and Kevin Turner? Anyways, I would draft another running back for depth and take a look at a few free agents as well.
Unfortunately, Nnamdi Asomugha or Richard Marshall, Eric Weddle and LaMarr Woodley or Mathias Kiwanuka are probably unrealistic options in free agency. So, the upcoming draft is where you hopefully can address the question marks you currently have at certain starting positions. The 2010 draft brought in Devin McCourty, Brandon Spikes and Jermaine Cunningham. The 2011 draft has to be equally successful at bringing in more defensive players with potential to start as rookies.

Love is a good organizational depth guy. Brace showed flashes this year. I think Deadrick is probably not going to be with the organization on the long term.
Hard to be bullish on Warren at this point.
I think we've seen enough from Meriweather to know what he is which is something that's hard to be excited about.

The main reason the Jets won tonight (when it comes to players) is that their receivers (Holmes, Edwards, Cotchery) were light years better than our guys.
All three of those guys made huge plays on difficult balls.
I think their ability to cover all of our receivers in a man-to-man coverage won them the game. There were instances when Brady had lots of time in the pocket to throw the ball and he just couldn't find an open receiver (because there wasn't one).
Brady tears through zone defenses and can alert the line, reroute receivers, and do what he must to beat a zone. But in a straight man-to-man coverage, we need WR that have the ability to get separation - due to height, speed, or deception. Typically, Branch and Welker can get separation, but the Jets have some fast DBs and they were not getting open...
Even though he isnt a burner, make a trade for Fitz, or Megatron. CJ doesnt wanna play for DET anymore hes been public about that, DET probably knows they can only keep him by franchising him so throw the number 17 pick and a third and make the trade.
Never going to happen.
