Lewis is not exactly sturdy health-wise and Blount is also coming off of injury. White is one dimensional, can't run, and telegraphs what the offense is doing to the defense, and Donald Brown blows a fat one.
They really like Reynolds, supposedly. They may view him as the change of pace back they need. I hope they're not going to cash in all of their chips on him, though.And they may be without Brady for those first four games... having a solid running game is gonna be crucial if our backup QB is playing.
Terrible thread title. RB is not a big need. The Patriots don't have that type of offense, and when there's a weakness that can be exploited, the Patriots have a group that brings a bit of everything.
Blount, Lewis, White, Deevelin, Brown is a solid, experienced group. We'll probably see a 6th rounder in the mix as well.
The O-Line is the big need. The running game is as dependent on the offensive live as is the passing game. Put the right line in there and this offense is loaded.
They must be in love with Gaffney and he could be dirt cheap as a spot player because they just passed on Devontae Booker, who I cannot believe is still on the board.
I never understand why people think good picks are the ones Mel Kiper, et all overvalued compared to the NFL teams that have scouting departments working for a year to evaluate these players, and decision makers who know more about football.You guys do realize Booked, Dixon, hassan ridgeway, Sheldon day, Andrew billings, Alex collins, and many more "binkies" are still available to start the 4th right? Im slightly dissapointed with how the draft went so far too but hey there is still hope to salvage it
What is Lewis bringing to the table this year?No one knows who is being shopped to other teams, I'd bet there are 5 RBs available for a late pick if we wanted it. But I don't think we do, my thought is that they have always had one eye on next years excellent group.. plus you could argue we are better right now than we were this time last year when the majority didn't know what Lewis was bringing to the table.
'glass half-full or half-empty'What is Lewis bringing to the table this year?
Let's put it this way... When DionLewis & Blount went down, our "remaining" RBs were junk.
Without a running-game, the AFC championship game results will happen, again...
Ridley might be odd man out in NY. If he removes his tattoo with a meat saw I'll welcome him back with open arms.

History would suggest less. If the Pats had drafted him now based on history the "glass" comments would be heard.'glass half-full or half-empty'
