Hate to count on rookies. So, I'll go with Dominique Easley. An interior pass rush can be hell on a qb. We have enough depth so spot him. Malcolm Butler better be good.

Gotta be Easley. If he comes in healthy and lives up to his billing then watch out, this front 7 will be lethal.

Bradley Fletcher. We replace the best 24 with possibly the worst 24. I want to see if he can have a bounce back year after leaving Philly like Chung. I don't think he is that bad, but after watching Dez roast him I wonder if he can actually jump though.

I'm extremely intrigued by Chris Harper, Dobson, and Tyms. If one of them catches fire with Jimmy G, there is a good chance one of them will be on the 53 barring Brady's appeal.

Trey Flowers is my binky.

Dane fletcher.

From my city, has made some impactful plays over the years, and Tampa thought he was good enough to start at MLB a few games.

Id like to see him become a more permanent piece of the D

and I'm super high on Daryl Roberts.

Ya. Although I feel like the people high on him (myself included) are going to be met with the usual chicken little responses if he is 4th or 5th CB to start the season. Like many of us that were high on Malcolm Butler and were laughed at for pumping up an UDFA out of West Alabama was going to make the roster and if he did he would he would only be on it until Browner came back. Well joke was on them.

But based on strict pro-day numbers alone he was arguably the best athlete out of all the CBs in the draft and yes I know that doesn't really mean being a great athlete transfers to being a good player.

Just saying if Roberts went to a college football powerhouse or was even invited to the combine he doesn't slip to the 7th. Look at Byron Jones pre-combine, Draft Scout had him ranked as the 31st CB with a 7th round grade and NFL.com had him ranked at the 25th CB. Yet he does a few eye popping things during his draft workouts and he is the 4th CB off the board in the 1st round.

Yes it is foolish to except him to come in and be a Starting Pro Bowl CB based off of youtube highlights and pro-day numbers but us people that are intrigued by him have every right to be at least hopeful and excited about watching him in in the pre-season.

I'm going with Gaffney. We let Ridley go for next to nothing, didn't draft from a deep group and haven't dabbled into big backs in FA despite some availables like Pierre Thomas (not saying he's BIG but he can run on early downs).

So Bill must be content with what we have. Our presumed starter, Blount, is suspended for Game 1 and another failed test from more. I like Jonas but it appeared he wasn't high on Bill's depth chart given the goings on last year. Which leaves Gaffney who, I think Bill has to like, to not bring anyone in.

I do hope Jonas gets more chances next year too, though.

Gronk.

Good thread.

Blount. Can he give us a whole season?

I am very interested in seeing how Butler does in his second season at cb. I'm also interested in Tre Jackson Shaq Mason and Malcom Brown and like a lot of posters already mentioned Tyler Gaffney!!!!!! Can't wait.

Brady is my guy, every year. The guy was a back-up on an 0-8-1 high school team. He climbed up from the 7th-string QB spot to lead Michigan. He rose from a 4th-string QB to overtake the $100M Pro Bowler.

The whole world may feel like it's against him, but that's fine. He's going to take it personally. He's going to use it. He still gets upset over being drafted in the 6th round. You'd be a fool to bet against him this year.

I see a monster year for Jones this year

If for some reason Brady's suspension is not reduced or voided at all, I will be the biggest f***ing Jimmy Garoppolo fan ever. Under those circumstances, the best way to say "FU" to the league office is for the Pats to go 4-0 under Jimmy G and let Brady come back taking over a perfect team.

The media chatter will turn from "The Pats cheated" to "OMG who is the better QB!? They should trade Brady!!!", which will fuel Brady even more to outwork Jimmy G. It would make for a great season.

I'm picking Zach Moore. He showed a lot last year for a kid who came from a small school. I also think BB sees potential in him.

This. He's an overlooked underdog, but his measurables were great. I'd love to see him come out of nowhere and have a big year.

Fred Davis. I looooooove reclamation projects.

Hope he sticks. Want to see defensives to try to stop the 3 TE/2 WR offense
