BB will probably frustrate me by reaching for about four defensive backs and ignoring the tight end and wide receiver positions. His UDFAs will be absent any players we can recognize.

Late round hell. BB will pick him as his 2nd round binkie bust.

Don't be surprised if the Patriots trade a couple of picks for veterans and dump the rest of the picks into 2021 and 2022. They did this in 2007. With the pandemic, they have not been able to prepare as much as usual.

I like your enthusiasm but I will temper my hopes until I see the pieces in place at tight end and wide receiver. Also, the offensive line will take a big hit if Thuney is traded before or during the draft. The defense that carried the Patriots last year has lost Collins, VanNoy, Roberts, and...

Last year's practice squad was weaker than normal because the better players were pirated by other teams.

The Patriots have 0% chance of extending Thuney. They want a huge hometown discount and his agent would be crazy to accept. No other players are willing to lose money by extending either. Kansas City with $177 cap space does have players willing to restructure.

Time to re-sign Ferentz.

Do nothing.

Based upon last year, I hope BB has seen enough to draft one.

Our current salary cap situation buys us about one minimum salary player like Ferentz. I expect to see a trade soon for Thuney for a #3 pick at most. for the best of the team.

Harry was a big body who was supposed to be able to break away from much smaller defensive backs for extra yardage. The games I watched him play, he was dominated by the smaller player.

It remains to be seen if he is a complete bust. Twelve catches for 105 yards over the regular season.

Did you really expect the Patriots to spend even moderate bucks on a wide receiver? Same for a tight end. Don't expect them to invest high draft picks on pass catchers. Brady had to leave the Patriots to have decent pass catchers.

The difference between Tom Brady and all of the other Hall Of Fame quarterbacks is Tom threw very few interceptions.

No great loss but his departure makes a lousy corps of receivers even worse. I fear they may exit free agency without adding a significant wide receiver or tight end. They may also fool us by not drafting a receiver or tight end. I keep looking for a trade for someone on a rookie contract.

You've answered your own question. Fans on this forum place an unrealistic value on players that the Patriots acquire.

James Ferentz will eventually be re-signed. I don't think there is a brisk market for him. Not even the former Patriot head coaches.

You give BB too much credit for drafting Tom. If **** Rehbein hadn't been bugging him, BB would have passed on him like all the others.

enough Thus far, we have three safetys that are special teams players and not much else.

You may not need superior talent to win, but you have to have wide receivers and tight ends that can get run the right route, get open, and catch the ball. Last year group could not.
