We have completed the first preseason and the draft (and UDFA signings).
Now, Belichick is continuing to make moves to improve the team, and to bring in camp competition (and camp fodder).
Belichick addresses weaknesses with overkill. We are all aware of the clean sweep at corner over the last two years.
Since the draft Belichick has added a TE and a S. Belichick has now brought in two TE's (Smith and Listorti) and re-signed DeVree. Belichick has re-signed Tank Williams, re-signed Sanders, drafted Chung and now signed McGowan.
We must have a dozen offensive linemen competing for the backup spots.
WHAT'S LEFT FOR BELICHICK TO DO?
A) fullback or running back (there is no camp competition or injury insurance)
B) #3 QB (we do already have camp competition)
C) LB (we've already cut Robertson, cut Ruud, and traded Vrabel; there's certainly room for more competition and perhaps a top OLB that is available)
D) And perhaps there is a player or two on the roster that he wants to cut or trade. There are many potential candidates. Thomas, Watson and Green come to mind.
