How about 1 decent healthy TE not coming off major reconstructive knee surgery? I don't need 2 - one will do. Did I also mention we will be starting Duron freaking Harmon at safety as it stands now? You know, the horrendously bad pick from last year. How is it possible to release a garbage player like Gregory and see a decrease in the talent level at safety?
1.There have been lots of articles that state that we're moving Logan Ryan to safety, so a 3 safety tandem of McCourty, Harmon, and Ryan doesn't look nearly as bad as you're suggesting.
2. There was a dramatic dropoff of safety talent in the 2014 draft after the initial several went off the board. That would have meant that we'd have needed to select one in the 1st round. Belichick obviously did not want to do that.
3. Harmon didn't look "horrendously bad" as you're trying to say. That's ridiculous. He filled in just fine for a couple of games.
4. We may still draft or select an additional safety prior to the start of the season, and/or Gregory may still even come back for the S3 or S4 spot.
