Interestingly enough, only one of them is a Patriot: #27, K'Lavon Chaisson.

I'd have my eye on LB Quay Walker.

 

[stinkypete]

I'd like to poach one of Buffalo's guards.

 

[farn]

We must sign all of them. Every single one. Let them duke it out next August. Do it.

I hope we sign WR Alec Pierce & TE Isaiah Likely. Though different players, if they don’t want to spend a lot on Pierce, would love to land WR Rashid Shaheed. Could really use his explosiveness on offense, and add in his return abilities on kick offs. I would like the Pats to sign LB Nakobe Dean, I think he’s just touching the tip of the iceberg with what he can actually become as a defender.

TE Dallas Goedert would be a sneaky good signing.

Unfortunately, Goedert doesn't solve the youth issue; he's only about a month younger than Henry. But I'd be down for any of the others.

Henry is going to be our top TE next season, but we do need to get younger and better at the position, so upgrading Hooper should be the short term goal. That could be with a FA like Lively or a day 2 pick in the draft. OR it could be by Dippre developing into a good blocking TE who can occasionally catch the ball as a rotational #3 TE

Whose spot is Shaheed taking? Diggs, Hollins, Boutte, Williams, Pop, or Chiz? How would that work?

 

[DaBruinz]

I'd have my eye on LB Quay Walker.

The problem with Walker is the same problem we have with our current LBs. Inability to cover TE/RBs. II don't know that Leo Chenal or Nakobe Deam would do that either.

DE: Odafe Oweh, Boye Mafe,
CB: Riq Woolen, Nashon Wright
OL: Tyler Linderbaum, Connor McGovern, David Edwards. I prefer McGovern over Edwards because of his versatility.
RB: Javontae Williams, Kenneth Gainwell

Watch the Super Bowl, and see if you still want him.

I’d take him over Pop & Chiz any day.

If I were to splurge I would add Linderbaum and continue to build out the trenches.

I would blank check Linderbaum. Whatever he wants, he gets. Figure out the rest around him. He's *that* good. And he'd be locked in past Maye's option year, and still easily in his prime. Precisely the kind of free agent you actually need to form a core.

 

[scott99]

I agree, continue building in the trenches. Better protection for Maye as well as better run blocking.

I would love to see them improve the line in free agency as well in the draft.

 

[FCB02062]

Someone will offer Chaisson a boatload of cash

 

[p8ryts]

I do like the idea of Alec Pierce but for me it's all about the OL. I believe that if Drake could have one more second each pass attempt, he would tear up the league. I don't care how it happens, but we need to improve the OL. Give me Linderbaum and maybe Edwards.

This is the ONLY reason I haven't made Chaisson my binky, since he could leave next year.

 

[Steve102]

[TheRainMaker]

Hendrickson is my #1 guy if he's reasonable with his demands. If he can irritate a guy like Tom Brady, he's a guy you want on your front 7.

We need better edge setters. Chaisson and Landry get caught looking inside and can't recover/get overpowered.

Linderbaum at C would be a great addition. OL needs to be upgraded.

Alec Pierce would be a nice field stretcher. He's underrated.

We need an upgrade at TE. Henry stat line is decent, but it seems like he drops way too many chain moving passes. He's also another year older. I wouldn't be shocked if McDaniels pushes for Kyle Pitts. I'm not sure why this board is obsessed with Isiah Likely. He reminds me of Julius Thomas - not a compliment.

LB needs an upgrade. Could the Pats right the wrong of not drafting Devin Lloyd over the legend of Cole Strange? He'd be a nice duo with Spillane.

I'm not familiar with the S's but we need better play. I know the names Kam Curl and Jaquan Brisker, but I haven't watched them play much.

P may be a need.

#1 Tyler Lindebaum. Put him right in front of Maye for the next 10 years.
