Pats release Greg Lewis, claim UDFA S Bret Lockett (Browns)

That makes sense for a strong safety who is expected to play special teams.[

A poor man's Sanders?

yeah, but probably not that good.

Belichick has carried five or six safeties in the past with the idea that safeties, especially free safeties are often great special teamers. I wouldn't expect Lockett to get reps other than on special teams. However, if he is any good, he could make a career at playing special teams. Perhaps in the future he could be a backup safety, perhaps even enxt eyar of McGowan doesn't stay.

Some here already think Sanders IS a poor man's Sanders.

BB completely wasting draft picks is getting annoying now

Then go follow the Broncos or Chiefs or Raiders..

Then package the 5s and move up to the 4th round or something instead of trading them for known crappy players that you know wont make the team.

Known crappy players that you know won't make the team? WOW. I guess you expect BB to be clairvoyant or something. How the hell could he possibly know that Smith and Lewis wouldn't make the team. Also, Lewis initially made the team and was cut 2 days after cutdowns. When he was cut, the Pats added a Safety who is an excellent special teamer since they have one who suffered a pretty serious hyper-extension of his elbow. Heck, the swelling might just starting to go down so they could actually take a proper MRI of the area.

You're just a contrarian! This was a great way to get rid of an overpriced 5th round pick and get a much more affordable 7th.


In BB we trust!

I don't mean to be contrarian and all, but how many picks have we now thrown away this offseason? I count at least three off the top of my head.
