Obviously Brady and our own FAs are a priority on my list, but you can't keep them all, realistically.

My top FA I want the Pats to sign is TE Hunter Henry. I think he would be a perfect fit for the Patriots. He catches everything, blocks very well, just a perfect TE in the Patriot's mold. Would love to sign Austin Hooper as well, but we know we won't be getting both. Also, would love to see the Pats draft a TE in the first 3 rounds as well. I want that 2 TE offense back.
 
Outside of Brady? Derrick Henry tops the list. He’s Dillon 2.0 and we rode Dillon’s back to one of our titles. Finances might not work out. But if we could he would be my top fa target. We need to replenish mostly via the draft. TE and OL are big needs.

WR... could we get AJ Green or another good vet receiver on the cheap?

Titans will not part with Henry
I would be very happy with Matt Breida.
Is there another Henry in this draft because we need him.

Henry is FA ? I suspect the Titans will do everything they can to retain him. And, if not, another team will overpay for him.

Having said that : it’s the first time in quite a few years that I’d say “yes” it’s worth it to fork out some $ for a RB. If the D can stay strong, and Brady returns, it’d be great to help them both out w a strong RB. Line needs retooling though, otherwise, why bother ?
 
Lots of mention of AJ Green, but I hope we don't go down that road

Very talented WR, but he's always injured and unreliable in that department. We need consistency at the WR position more than anything, so I just get very uneasy about the idea of investing a chunk of our cap room into a talented WR where its a 50/50 coin flip that he'll even survive the season

Corey Dillon had way more wiggle to his game than Henry who’s more like LG Blunt as they are a one cut down hill runners.

You can’t trust any running back in a Shanahan run blocking scheme.
 
True but he runs thru tackles we need someone who can do that.
Maybe it’s Harris
I love Henry. He’s a lot of fun to watch, but his OL deserves a lot of credit too. Look at those holes they open up for him. That’s the best thing you can do for a big fella like that. He gets that head of steam going and BAM!! If he had this years Pats OL, results would be quite a bit different.
 
I agree with Hunter Henry. Get him and maybe trade for a WR and they should help out the offense big time assuming Andrews and Develin return.
 
Jordan Phillips,Arik Armstead as a defensive support. If KVN or Collins leave ( or both of them ) Matthew Judon would be great.
Speaking of offense TE position must be adressed: obviously like most of you said Henry or Hooper would be a nice choice.
Aj Green is worth a look even if he is so injury prone.Robby Anderson as an outsider WR will be welcomed.
 
Austin Hooper
