Poll: Will BB trade for a WR, or TE, or both, or neither... before the deadline?

[Triumph]

19-0.

65 IQ rating.

Same as a 3rd grader.

Does bill ever do what we think he's going to do? He'll probably trade for a defensive back or d lineman

 

[GorBelSer]

Ah, the magical "someone else". Who is this magic person? Will he pick up the system mid season? What will the Patriots have to give up to get him? Why is he available in the first place if he's an obvious upgrade?

If he is good, they will find the way to integrate him into the offense in a matter of weeks. It is obvious LaCosse cant be trusted to stay on the field, he is injured every other game. TE position is a glaring weakness of this team, the best player in the group is 38 years old while the other two options could end up on the waiver wire without anyone in the league paying much attention to it.
Personally, I would give up 2nd round pick for a good TE, since it will be wasted anyway, but our salary cap situation prevents us from making big splashes.

could happen

SCENARIO ONE
Chung or Jones could be hurt, and we could be picking up a DB who will help us this year, and also next year when we are likely to lose a couple of defensive backs. If value is there, I would think that a safety (replacing Richards) would be a fine acquisition.

BTW, such an acquisition would have little effect on decisions to pick up upgrades at other positions.

SCENARIO TWO
Bennett could be replaced by someone who better fits the defense.

Wait, so we’re not adding him before the deadline?

 

[Patstastic]

I don't think the kicker position is getting enough attention. This is a huge issue moving forward. Every time the Patriots are faced with 4th and 3 or less at the 38 yard line, they are going to be faced with a difficult decision.

 

[venecol]

Need to get running plays working better, so whatever we need to make that happen (OL, FB, TE). Ben could take care of TE part. Don't see need for WR at the moment if Harry will be back.

In fact, BB could be @oldrover or @mosslost and is using polls to make personnel decisions.

Oh, cool, I’m being compared to mosslost... excuse me a sec...

That’s not a difficult decision. They’ll go for it in a close game or punt at the end of the game with a lead. Over the past 10 seasons, there have been 11 FG attempts, 11 punts, and 53 offensive plays from the 38 with 1-3 yards to go.

Maybe he's split into good and evil like Captain Kirk was and the evil half is now posting as captain stone.

That’s scary.

Huge overpayment unless you're getting one of a very short list of TEs, none of whom are available via trade.

since it will be wasted anyway

How do you know this? Psychic Hotline?

LOL, no, ah, er, you’re being compared to BB.

You can move it up to the 28 yard line and they’ll still have the same difficult decision. It is what it is, but Nugent isn’t going to be drilling too many 45 yarders, let alone 55 yarders like in your scenario.

Word

Shaky Nugent has taken BB right out of his normal game day management.

 

[Double TE]

I am still hopeful for Vernon Davis.

Deus is relieved. He always has had major concerns about Boldin’s ability to separate.

Point being Nugent is a liability out there.

 

[jimnance]

What's your prediction?

Talking trades only here... this would not count him picking up any of the free-agent flotsam or jetsam floating around the league... or, uh... um...



...yeah...

Huh? Are you "allowed" to post a poll?
I thought only mosslost could do that.

 

[n1997y]

WR is the biggest need.

Then Kicker.

Disagree. OL
