If Andrews, cajuste and frodholtz are coming back healthy, then it is doubtful any are resigned unless we need cheap depth players.
if Andrews can not come back, then we need to draft the Wisconsin center in the first round and draft van Lenin the Wisconsin left tackle in the fourth round and move him to left guard.
An o line of Wynn, van lenen, former Wisconsin center, healthy mason and cannon and we can run the ball on anybody, while protecting Brady reasonably well,, Cajuste, fradholtz and maybe ferentz and newhouse and we are set on the o line.
Sure, we could use a comp3rd or a 4th on a RB. It does seem unlikely. I see OL, WR, TE, S and LB as higher priorities. Obviously, we might be drafting another QB.I am assuming Dante will retire. This means that no longer can Pats turn JAG OL taken off the scrap heap into capable quality starters.
The rebuild should start by focusing on getting a Physical and big overpowering OL. That will probably take 2-3 more years between draft and integrating last year's draft picks into the line.
- I would like to see 1st round draft pick either a LT or a Center to start.
- the TE position is a complete mess. Izzo and Lacosse will both be hopefully gone, but I hope BB decides to invest 1-2 draft picks on a couple of dynamic TE's. The draft is deep this year and hopefully they can be picked up in the third round. I can not se e Pats being competitive for top tier UFA tight ends this year given their cap situation.
- I would definitely keep Sanu, even if we have to pay him 6M. For next year I doubt we will get any top tier WR talent and we gave up a 2nd rounder to get him. Too early to dump him now. I do not see Harry as developing into a #1 receiver that is for sure. They need to look for some savvy inexpensive veterans who can run routes off the scrap heap
- We need to get a big bruiser running back, someone like Blount. I would look for a low priced FA here or 3rd day draft pick. I am not sure Develin can come back long term from the neck injury. If not Jakob Johnson will be in play.
- I think Thuney is good and very reliable but he is not the 2nd coming of the messiah. If he gets better offer in FA then Pats can afford I think we should let him go.

FA.It really depends on what they think of Harris. If they don't think he's an NFL back, they will have to look for one somewhere.
Derrick Henry is a free agent. Just sayin’.It really depends on what they think of Harris. If they don't think he's an NFL back, they will have to look for one somewhere.
Can’t see Karras getting starter $. He’s a good short term back up, but I wouldn’t want to intentionally make him a starter. Thuney is solid, solid, solid, but I’m not sure he gets a huge contract offer.I think Dorsett is the only “maybe”. Especially if Karras gets starter money. I was really disappointed in Dorsett this season. I thought he’d be more of a contributor. Didn’t expect Hopkins, but did expect more.
If there was ever a running back to open the wallet for . . . . But I bet he gets franchised if not signed. I don’t think the franchise tag for RBs is huge.Derrick Henry is a free agent. Just sayin’.
I can see Karras getting starter money. Just not from NE. You forget just how dumb many GMs there are.Can’t see Karras getting starter $.

Newhouse was ok filling in at RT?Newhouse could be brought back for depth behind cannon. He did ok when filling in at rt.
Dorsett if there are not multiple better options brought in, i dont mind him but it’s probably not a good sign if hes back.

I think our definition of suck is differentHe didn’t suck at RT
When you say “blow up our entire offense”, who do you replace from the starters and where do these replacements come from?
Not sure if it’s legit or not, but there was a stat line going around regarding his last 6 games where he didn’t give up a sack or a pressure.I can see Karras getting starter money. Just not from NE. You forget just how dumb many GMs there are.
