A 3rd for a good ol and a 5th?
Sounds good to me.
More things to come I think.

They traded my Luke Falk pick.

So....

1. What the F is our 2018 OL lineup

2. Who are the 9 OL making the team

Ok, so that would seem to be all that's needed along the OL.

Still keep our 2nd rounders. Fine with that.

That was my big fear.

I like Flowers a lot, but he is a technician, not a superior athlete (compared to his peers).

You may not have noticed, but BB appears to have a significant preference for competent and versatile technicians, versus "superior athletes" who are one-trick ponies. Seems to have worked pretty well so far.

Big hole in the draft now between 63 and 143. Perhaps B.B. just wanted a rest.

Maybe it’s nothing more than that we have a high grade on Brown and the fact that he became available was too good an opportunity.

And buys time for the troubled youngsters. Its a one year deal.
Cheap purchase of key time (at worst).

I don't have a problem with it. He's almost certainly better than what you can get at pick 95 and quality depth at tackle is a necessity anyways. I expect the Patriots to end up with a 3rd and 4th from trading back with one of the 2nds anyways. It gives you a lot of options and means you don't have to start a rookie if he's not ready. We were fretting about tackle 6 weeks ago and now it feels like a positional strength.

Well our OL is settled. This is great! Now about that defense....

Maybe a trade down or someone gets moved? Like Mason.

So is Cannon hurt? Is Garcia not ready? or do they plan to move Cannon to LT? None of this makes sense. The only way this makes sense is a trade of Mason, or moving Mason or Wynn to Center.

I think there will be another trade up.

So who’s our left tackle? Cannon? Not sure I like that.

We got like 10 starting o-linemen but maybe zero LTs.

I trust Scar and BB believe a couple of these guys are capable LTs just could be one of several guys that lands the job.

My guess would be Orlando Brown is a draft pick as LT later tonight.. Then you have mountains on the side flanked with Wynn / Mason... Then as Grid say, USE the hole pig!

Release Cannon next season and use "hes" money on Mason ( We are alowt to dream right ?

Wynn started at LT last season. Garcia is a LT as well. Whether they're starting caliber, though, is anyone's guess.

Orlando Brown would be hilarious.

why didn’t SF want or need this guy?
