Bill Belichick is unquestionably off to a great start. But there is much still to do.
Here would be (at least for me) the perfect scenario that sets New England up to completely dominate the NFL for the next 3 or 4 years.
1) Sign Dont'a Hightower. Obviously.
2) Do NOT trade Malcolm Butler. If he walks after next year, so be it. Having two elite CBs -- even if it's just for one year is worth the risk of keeping him.
3) Trade Jimmy Garoppolo to Cleveland for a 1st (#12), and a 2nd (#33) in this year's draft. I realize New England might actually be able to fleece Cleveland for more (tackle Joe Thomas perhaps?), but this package is probably what would be required for New England to accept the deal.
4) With #12 & #33 target defensive help, specifically, DE (pass rusher), LBer, or perhaps even another safety. I'll throw out a few possibilities:
Pick #12 -- Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee. Perhaps best pure pass rusher in the draft.
Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama. After draft combine meltdown, he could slide.
Pick #33 -- Hassan Reddick, OLB, Temple. Elite athlete, could be a monster in NE scheme.
Tim Williams, DE, Alabama. He might lack in some areas, but he gets after QBs.
5) With the rest of the draft, make it a priority to find a really good RB. Perhaps even move up a round and give up some late picks if necessary. Here are a few suggestions:
D'Onta Foreman, Texas -- A big, physical back (6'1", 250) fast enough to make big plays.
Joe Mixon, Oklahoma -- Baggage? Yes. Talent? Yes. Perhaps best RB in draft.
6) Sign a vet QB to be Brady's backup while Jacoby Brissett continues to develop. Actually, I've got the perfect guy. He's an unrestricted free agent: Ryan Fitzpatrick. If Brady were to go down, Fitzpatrick could step in (with all the surrounding talent) and lead New England to a Super Bowl victory.
7) With all the quality TEs in this draft, select one. More insurance for Gronk. Suggestion? How about Jordan Leggett from Clemson. Big target, nice hands.
That's it, ladies and gentlemen. Pull these final few strings, and the Patriots and Tom Brady are set up to DOMINATE the NFL and win multiple titles in the next 3 or 4 years. 19-0? Very possible.
Is Belichick truly going "all in?" If he makes these moves, there will be no doubt.
Feel free to leave you dream scenarios as well.
