The Patriots appear to have plenty of cap room, and perhaps it was by design. This year seems to have an unusually deep and talented free agent pool. I think that Patriots should sign these players. If they would have to go over the cap (who knows - this is a wish list - not a legit plan), BB should just yell "SIGN THE BEAST" at Goodell and be granted an exception.

RB - Ray Rice - This guy is only 25 and seems to be the sole reason that the Ravens are actually any good on offense. I'd love to have him here for his best years.

WR - Brandon Lloyd - I dare say that Brandon Lloyd could be a better fit at this time for this offense than Welker. He will not replace Welker's production, and in a vacuum, Welker is better for this offense than Lloyd. However, factor in the fact that the Patriots do not have any deep threat whatsoever and that Welker's production could be distributed among Gronk, Hernandez, and Lloyd, and you have a case for Lloyd. Ideally, I'd have Lloyd replace Branch.

DL - Mario Williams - We already have one amazing DL in Vince Wilfork. We need more defensive talent, and we could have Mario Williams for a long time.

You must be high off your ass if you think Ray Rice is going anywhere. But if Williams is healthy and can be signed at a reasonable price (not highest paid defensive player ever basically) I say pursue him aggressively.

My wish list includes
Welker
Carter
Anderson

I agree that Lloyd is a good choice, and a likely one.

Brandon Lloyd I heard is very interested in staying in STL, but either way why do people think he'd be so successful here? He's primarily a deep ball receiver and isn't the best route runner in the world. Brady's had little to no success with deep ball receivers not named Randy Moss (Brandon Tate, OchoCinco, Donte Stallworth, Chad Jackson, etc.). His deep ball just isn't accurrate and usually hangs in the air too long.

I already said this in a draft thread but Reggie Wayne imo seems like a good fit and won't expect a long term deal given his age and unproductive season last year. We shouldn't overreact too much to how bad the receivers looked in the superbowl given that the best receiver on the team couldn't run.

BB never seems to do what we'll think, and since it's pie in the sky, I'll give you mine as well.

Marcus Colston
Brandon Carr
and we can renew the offer to Dashon Goldson

Mine is

1. Kate Upton

2. Jennifer Aniston

3. Heidi Watney

Much more likely to happen than Mario Williams, Ray Rice and Brandon Lloyd!

Brandon Lloyd said he is following McDaniels wherever he goes. He did recently say that he was under contract and that he was open to staying, but it sounded more like his agent got to him and told him stop the "I am following McDaniels" crap so he doesn't get a crap contract. You can see the interview at this link:

Brandon Lloyd would consider Rams return - CBSSports.com

Why do people think Lloyd will be successful here because he was successful in Denver and St. Louis under McDaniels with lesser QBs. As for Brady's long ball, it might have to do with the receivers more than the passer. He has connected with several long balls this season.

You get Kate Upton here and she will ruin Gronk. He is too obsessed with her. It will be like Naomi Watts/Faye Wray/Jessica Lange and King Kong (whichever version you like). It would beauty that killed the Gronk.

EJ Blitz

Jennifer Aniston is a veteran. I'm not sure how much years she has left in her, her window is closing.

Deus Irae

So you're belittling Lloyd, who's 30 and playing the best football of his career and has shown he can thrive in the BB/McDaniels system, but you want to bring in a 33 year old Wayne who has started losing the ability to create separation out of his cuts?

BTW, Brady had plenty of success throwing deep to the likes of Givens and Patten. It was the sort of success that won Super Bowls, as a matter of fact.
