Hali is obv a guy we would want, but I doubt KC will let him go. The thing with Woodley is, is he a product of Lebeaus system? Soo many OLBs come and go there, and have little success outside that scheme.
Ray Edwards could be realistic, he's a solid player he won't cost that much, but again was it him or did he benefit from Allen and Williams.
Pay the price ...... two 1st round pix 2010 (28th) and 2011 (32nd). Oh, and his salary, which, because he's coming out of a Franchise Tag could be in the range of Wilfork.
Haloti Ngata ..... at RDE. Cunningham will/could/might have 15 sacks as a result. Also, as when we had Seymour, running to that side would be in our favor.
Marcus Spears plays in a 1 gap system IMO he would not be any better then Brandon Deaderick or Ron Brace will be next season
Me too. God, I want Hali here so bad. An absolute perfect fit for this defense.for Tamba Hali I'd pony up a 1st and 3rd
I'm stunned on the Lamarr Woodley comments.. Last year people wanted to stay away from Brandon Graham because he wasn't big enough.. But people want to shell out big bucks for a guy 6"1 260 pounds.. Really surprised..
I remember last years predraft party for season tkt holders.. Bruschi said when he slide outside, it lasted one day.. He couldn't contain the edge and hold the play in front of him..
I'll lean on Bruchi and say Woodley isn't coming here.. He doesn't fit our system..
Spears might work, because of his experience with Parcels.. Of course, not top $$
The level of BBs involvement in FA is EXACTLY commensurate to the cap room he has available.Personally, I could see the Pats making a big splash in free agency this year especially since there is the potential of two years' worth of free agents available because so many players who should have been UFA last year were RFA and only played for the tender this past season.
Contrary to popular beliefs, the Pats are not opposed to making splashes in free agency (Colvin, Harrison, Thomas, etc.). With most if the team coming back, the return of Bodden and Ty Warren, potentially plenty of cap space, tons of picks to fill holes; it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that the Pats take a pass at one or two marquee free agents.
My guess if they do it will be on the defensive side of the ball and probably a pass rusher or a d-lineman. I would say Hali or Woodley would be the top two picks, but both may be franchised depending on the new franchise tag rules under a new CBA.
260 is plenty big. Brushci was really somewhere between 235-245 (really 235 IMO, but listed at 245)I'm stunned on the Lamarr Woodley comments..

Its a mistake IMO to think a player is his measurables.It's a combination of things. Ideal bulk and average length (Cunningham) works. Cunningham is 1 7/8 inches taller and has 7/8 inch longer arms. TBC is basically screwed if the OL gets his hands on him, hence him being an ideal situational pass-rusher and nothing more. Bruschi was short and lacked bulk (but I don't know about arm length). Therefore, we can say that Cunningham is a better scheme fit than Woodley, who is a better scheme fit than Bruschi, but none of there are Mike Vrabel.
