I guess we'll take it in order. This is gping to be a long one.
1. You think taking a WR in the 1st kills the season. I dont. Im open to a number of possibilities, none of which kill the season. Youre not. Your view is clearly the narrow one. Not mine.
You aren't open to jack s**t. Which is why you posted such blathering buffoonery and made s**t up that wasn't actually stated.
2. Where did I say FA is the only way to improve? I stated that locking up key positions in FA opens up different possibilities in the draft. I have also been against trading picks, because we have a number of holes. This also happens to be the draft forum. I clearly understand the value of the draft.
You need to sit down and work on your reading comprehension. I never claimed that you said FA was the only way to improve.
3. I am not ignoring the LB position. It could use an upgrade but it absolutely is not a glaring need the way Edge, WR, LG, and S are right now. Thats just simply a fact. Its a secondary need. Calling LB a bigger need that WR is just ridiculous. We'll leave at that.
Yes, you are ignoring LB . You've not said a damn thing about it.
Since you're severely lacking in understanding the game, the Pats Defense had a HUGE issue with their linebackers. As I stated previously and you ignored, the LBs outside of Spillane FAILED to go to the correct gaps on running plays far too often. They also were horrible at covering TEs/RBs out of the backfield. Spillane is also going to be 31 this year. Having a LB to pair with Spillane is a bigger issue than having a 6th WR. Unlike you, I fully understand that having someone to START at LB next to Spillane is imperative. Having that player be ready to take over from Spillane is also imperative. Especially with how much time Spillane missed in 2025.
4. "Solving" Edge may not be the best term. If you dont have a star or a long term youngster, you can always improve. However, adding Jones to Chaisson is unequivocally addressing and upgrading the edge position. That means we have filled the gaping hole for a starter, but also added another body capable of playing legit snaps. This doesnt preclude the team from adding an Edge in the draft but it certainly lessens the priority of it.
It's funny how you made the assumption that Chaisson was coming back. My statements were made with the understanding that Chaisson returning was not guaranteed. Signing Jones did NOT lessen priority of adding an EDGE in the draft. I understood that. You, on the other hand, seem intent on making foolish assumptions continuously.
5. My post was made before Kolar signed. Same for Edwards.
No. It wasn't. Both were gone by the time you posted.
6. Its just ridiculous to act like taking any position in the 1st would derail the season or put a limit on how good the team can be. Taking a talented player at a position of need does not hurt you. Taking an RB in the first would not be a grwat usage of resources. But it wouldnt remove the team from being a contender.
Says the guy who is making claiming everyone else's takes are ridiculous and outrageous despite his own significant failings at understanding the game and the needs of the team.
7. You cant address every need with a single drsft pick, so this might be your most ridiculous point of all.
That's you not comprehending what is stated. I never said nor implied that a single pick could address every need. Why do you feel the need to make s**t up that is easily debunked?
8. RT is not a glaring need. We have am above average starting RT who has been very durable in his career. Could depth be added? Sure. A potential long term solution drafted? Absolutely. But its not as big of a need as other positions for '26
Yes. RT is a glaring need. You thinking otherwise is just you being DUMB. Because Moses is 35. There are only question marks behind Moses currently in Bryant and Metz.
9. If the team viewed C as a problem, they wouldn't have traded Bradbury. Whether you like it or not, Wilson is the starting C. Brown is the backup. Putting C as a need over WR is another outrageous take. These are piling up.
Tell everyone you don't understand how bad Bradbury was in 2025 without telling everyone you don't understand how bad Bradbury was in 2025. The Pats are moving Wilson there, yes. But that doesn't guarantee anything.
No, putting Center over WR isn't an outrageous take. It's understanding that the OFFENSE is predicated on the O-line being upgraded. Something you clearly have no f'in clue about.
10. WR, Edge, S, LG are the glaring needs right now. We need starters there. I dont see how anyone can argue that. Secondary needs include TE, LB, developmental RT, developmental CB. A swing tackle if the developmental RT cant do it. Maybe even an upgrade at 3rd S depending who the starter is. The team has to utilize FA and the draft to plug all these. Whatever they address in FA will impact the priorities with pick 31. But acting like a rookie WR is the worst thing in the world is ridiculous. Everyone would like a vet but things dont always go according to plan.
WR was not ever a "Glaring need" after the 2025 season. Even after cutting Diggs. And certainly not over LG, Edge, LB, C, or Safety. You have repeated NOT read what was actually stated and just fabricated BS with your responses.
