I don't think you should bring Law back. Taylor is gonna stay put. I think the Pats could land Gaffney.

I would not sign Chad Johnson. People have this fasciantion with offense and we know that defense wins championships. You can have all the best wr's but if you don't give brady time to throw to them it's no good.

Trading the #7 to dallas would be the most reasonable. It just hurts losing our original second rounder.

I'm leaning towards more to taking Ryan Clady or Jake Long if he slips.

And going after a LB in the second round and cb's in the third.

I think I'd be happy with the off-season if we just re-sign Moss. That alone would make me feel confident we'd be in a position to win the title again next season.

I'd like to see Thomas sign if they think he can play in the 3-4. I respect Ted Johnson's opinion when it comes to ILBs in our system, but I respect BB's more, so if they sign him, they must think they can use him.

We'll never get Jason Taylor.

My ideal offseason would be:

Sign Moss for 3 yrs/16 mill
Sign Gaffney for 4 yrs/10 mill
Sign Thomas 2 yrs/5 mill
Sign Law 2 yrs/7 mill

I'm not much of a draft expert, but trade #7 pick, to Bears for #14 & #44, take Clady at #14 (will he be there?) and use #44 and one of our other picks to move up to the necessary spot to grab a CB (specifically Rodgers-Cromartie).

I like that trade....how do the points play out?

I think this would be an ideal offseason.

For me, Moss, a new Brady contract, and at least one, hopefully two; of the Gaffney, Law, Thomas group.

Taylor or Ocho would be an awesome bonus, but I am not willing to give up the 1st rounder for either of them

What I REALLY want is some of our young LB's to step up.

7 = 1500

14 = 1100
*44 = 460


*Technically 45 if you count the Pats #31 pick which they don't get to take...

So numbers wise, it fits OK, I've seen that trade floated by others, never would've thought of it myself, but looks like its reasonable. If Ryan is available at #7, you'd have to think the Bears would be interested.

I'd be happy, though Dallas is unlikely to trade with us unless McFadden is available, which is looking less likely now (and I'd rather get both their firsts and Barber, but either way is a win).

Trade the lower first for Chad Johnson, draft a LB/CB (Talib, Bell, Lofton, etc.) with the higher 1st, and then try to pry Taylor out of Miami for a 3rd or something. I'd be immensely pleased.

How about Victor Hobson as well? He always plays immensely well against the Patriots.

I think of all the things that could happen this is one of the most likely.

Taylor isn't going to be dealt here. Chad Johnson is a pipe dream - trading for him is a waste of valuable resources if Moss is still here.

I'd like to resign Moss and Gaffney on offense. Other than reworking Brady I don't see any other moves needed on offense.

I'd like to rework Colvin's deal on D and keep him.

Then use the draft and FA to reload on defense. Despite what the stats said, I did not feel our defense was at the level it was during the title years. I'd like to see speed and youth mixed in with our veteran base.

Yeah, I agree, and that would be ideal for us if it could happen.

Any thoughts here on if Clady would be available at #14? What about some of the CB prospects? Talib, McKelvin, Jenkins etc.
