The CAT will lead us!!!

[SammyBlueCat]

Actually, I think we're on to the draft at that position.

Quite possible. Keep in mind that we do not have a lot of picks.

I think Oliver would be a good signing

Oliver ...??

Promising rookie season in 2014 -
14 games/7 starts ... 160/582 (3.6 YPA) and 3 TDs .. 271 receiving yards.

Then not so much in 2015 before missing the last 8 games on IR with a toe injury.

Then he missed all of 2016 with a torn Achilles.

Since his rookie season -
16 games total (3 seasons) .. 66/191 .. 138 receiving yards .. zero TDs

In 2017, he was apparently a healthy scratch for 8 games and posted a 2.4 YPA when he ran the ball.

Not seeing the attraction.

Ouch, the CAT might be out of our price range...

Well, have they "reached out" to anyone else besides Bolden yet?

 

[VJCPatriot]

I'm thinking the Pats will prioritize their dollars on fixing that defense first.

If they have cap left over, they will feel out whether Lewis can return for a palatable price tag.

Wow. A HIGH priced Cat... Who would have thought?

I think it’s finally time to hit the draft up for a RB.

If so, I'll be there to coach em up.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I hate to say it but we will likely lose dion lewis. We will concentrate on some free agent defensive players and likely resigning solder.

With what draft picks?

 

[maust]

With what draft picks?

One of the handful that will be generated when one of the 2nd rounders gets traded?

I'll need to look more closely, but so far I don't think this RB class is nearly as deep/strong as 2017 was.

 

[supafly]

With what draft picks?

I suppose one of the 6-7 that they’ll have on draft day. It’s a position that needs some youth on a cheap 4 yr rookie pact.

RBs can be had as UDFAs, Corey Clement being the latest example.
We need to use At Least 4 of those 6 picks on defense, preferably by the end of Day 2.
I would then use the 2 Day 3 picks on OT/LT and on TE...then sign the 1 or 2 best RBs
available post-draft.

Looks like they met with 6 RBs so far, and 2 OT.

Thanks! I just saw that before going to bed last night.

I just went looking to see if anybody at NEPatriotsDraft had started a pre-draft contact list. Apparently not.

But I did find this:

Scouting Report: Darrel Williams, RB | NEPatriotsDraft.com - 2017 NFL Draft

I'm guessing there's more in the Draft Talk forum?

 

[captain stone]

His defense is a national disgrace, yet Bill is interviewing...RBs. Typical.

Let's hope they start meeting with D lineman and lb's soon
