I would move Cannon to RG and ask Connolly to restructure and move him to center.
I think Blount and Talib are gone. I would move Cannon to RG and ask Connolly to restructure and move him to center. I would make Edelman the priority for their free agents, they really cannot afford to lose him when receiver is a real need and he is turning himself into a star player.
They have major decisions to make, it is going to be really interesting to see what directions they go in.
My dad is a Packers fan so I have watched many GB games the last two years. He has good speed, but his hands are very shaky. Can stretch the field, but he would be overwhelmed as a #1 WR. Sign Boldin, Edelman, and Mack. Boldin will be a first down machine in this offense, Edelman can continue to work slants, comebacks, and crosses when Gronk opens the middle. I like to think Dobson will be much better after an offseason with Brady and the playbook.
We know NE won't make a huge splash in FA, but these guys along with Chandler or a TE through the draft, Troy Niklas from NE is 6'7 270 (Nicknamed Hercules) would make our O dangerous again. Run more two TE set, or Jumbo SB formation with Chandler, Gronk, Niklas on the field would be scary. Gronk and Niklas at 6'6 and 6'7 running the seams with Edelman underneath and Boldin?!
To be fair, the OP did say he was focusing on external targets.
What MG said. But for the exercise in point - yes, let's get a look at Maclin. My guess is Boldin will be too pricey.
Don't agree we can do it just with the kids. Do agree we need to pick up at least SOME F/A help. Will reiterate that it's not IF Gronk goes down, it's when. It gives me no pleasure to say this, but as I said prior to his injuries this year, he a big hulking hard-driving super-talented guy who's somehow just made of glass (I know I know he plays so hard he hurts himself. Whatever. It just is.) To the extent that a receiving tight end is a part of our offense, unless we go out and "replace" Gronk, be ready for him not to be there at the end. Plan some other way to win AFCCF/SB. That is just what has to happen.
I get it.
It is an annual recreation activity.
I don't think that we should focus on external targets.
My early free agent targets are Edelman, Wendell, Blount, and Talib.
I dunno, I think they should move Cannon to RG and draft a center.
