Talib signing was an upgrade from last year?
For this to be a good free agency, Vollmer has to be re-signed (very unlikely)
and a couple of wide receivers have to be signed/re-signed. Tom Brady's
well being is in jeopardy if Cannon is the right tackle. Forget about Sanders,
Pittsbugh won't let him go even if he signs an offer sheet which is very unlikely.
No significant free agents are going to be picked up after June 1st. This date
no longer means very much. With regard to the draft, we picked a poor year
to have very few picks. I'm sure we can draft a couple of good players if we don't trade away the picks.
This team didn't improve themselves one bit. All they did was replace Welker with Amendola.
I thought the overall grade of this year's draft is considered well below average?
Talib for a full season and Adrian Wilson are going to improve our defense.
Brady restructured the deal to keep the Patriots competitive. Without that restructure, it's unlikely the team can offer extensions to the identified players. That's something you would be wise to remember next time you feel like complaining about the MO. Furthermore, there's 3 stages of team building yet to be completed. How about waiting for those to unfold (as has been pointed out)?Please don't lecture me. Hind your own advice. I left the names of talib, wilson out for a reason. Yes they are upgrades but not pieces that are going to bring us a superbowl. That should be our goal. Brady left money on the table so we can spend it on AMD, Wilson and talib. Not
With Danny Amendola, Gronkowski, and Hernandez, I think it's a stretch to say the Pats are in big trouble at receiver. That's a pretty good nucleus and a LOT of catches.

Vollmer. The question there is whether or not he's ever going to be able to play with his back problems. The Pats know a whole lot more about his limitations than any of us do. Chances are that's a chronic situation and, if it is, you don't want a big dollar long-term contract. If the back is an issue, the Pats would probably rather wait and get him on a 1-year deal. It's not like other teams seem to be beating his door down with offers early in free agency. I have heard that he's even gotten a whiff of interest.

Leon Washington is a big addition to this team. The Pats haven't had a kick return threat in a long time. And, Belichick has a proven track record of getting good production from veteran 3rd down back types (see Kevin Faulk).
Yes because herding anyone who disagrees with you into their own corner leaving all the people who refuse to question the FO to gloat how good the team is based off regular season records promotes discussion.
Might as well ask the mods to ban all the dissenters and then turn the forum into a BB Kraft shrine where people can pay homage.
