So they just signed Hudson to be a swing Tackle. Does that mean Bryant is gone? I have a hard time thinking Lomu would actually step into LG - especially this year. Curious. Because I was really hoping for Faulk at 31. I wonder if we'll be moving up in the 2nd to try to get Howell or Parker?

I wasn't too worried about this whole issue until today... But I am very disappointed. Everyone can act with bravado about our culture's digression into infidelity as the norm, or that celebrity earns you the right to be adulterous without loss of virtue. But Vrabel has always presented his...

I think we all value Boutte way higher than the rest of the league. I really want to love him, but mostly because he's a good story. He suffered through the BB doghouse, the Mac Jones slop-house, the Mayo chaos-house, to evolve into a starting caliber WR. BUT - he's only been that because in...

I'd love Pats to trade our 2nd 4th rounder to move up in the 3rd. AND trade all of our 6th's for a 4th rounder. We don't need bottom development bodies, we need a handful of guys who can play right away.

That will be tough. Which proves that your first sentence is true. The ends of both sides of the LOS is a need. But, IMO - the DE/Edge is a more critical need, and tends to be harder to find - relying on superior physical traits than RT. The Patriots have been able to find very competent...

I want Pats to take best available EDGE in the 1st. Then, either Delp in the 2nd, or Klein in the 3rd/4th (if he lasts that long) I don't think we're that desperate for OL. We have some depth pieces to develop already, but should be able to get someone in the 3rd/4th for OT and OG to groom...

Discuss priority of the first 3 rounds, considering positions of depth in the draft and need of the Patriots roster.

THIS JUST IN... Every NFL offense spreads the ball around. No WR gets all the targets. Shocker.

FA losses & replacements: Tonga - on the team. Farmer & Taylor will replace Hawkins - on the team. Byard, *Saunders & Pettus will replace. (*dark horse to become a dude) Chaisson - not on the team. Jones replaces Landry. Need to draft EDGE1 in 1st round. Hooper - not on the team. Hill is...

Worthless FA signings: KJ Britt, Mike Brown, Kindle Vildor, Niko Lalos Potential Backup FA signings: Julian Hill - better blocker, more versatile than Hooper, not as good as a receiver... yet. James Hudson - physical & tenacious, could replace Lowe if coaching fixes his brain Jesse Luketa -...

Chaisson is getting the "ex-girlfriend" treatment - we remember him a lot better than he was - because of 2 things: 1. he was the only hint of a pass rusher we've had here for 3+ years, the best loser doesn't make you good. 2. he had a few big plays in big moments, but the vast majority of his...

Thinking about DE/EDGE today. I don't trust Landry has enough left to start or last all year. Jones is better, but same role as Landry. Ponder can sufficiently replace Chaisson (both are essentially 1-trick ponies). Luketa seems a slight upgrade of Jennings, but not a starter. Swinson may not...

Mods - Can we have one place where we discuss the state of the roster, all the positions, and all the transactions.

Well, just remember - we all hated Lowe with a passion last year. And he was terrible. Then, suddenly filling in for Will, he was quite competent and stable. To the point where some thought he'd be a sure FA re-sign. So... sometimes coaching and OL teammates matter. At least the guy has...

Is a bit odd that Boutte didn't join Maye and the boys in their throwing session. Could just be that the others were noted as already being down there, but the fact that Pop was involved (and he's most likely not to return) shows that Boutte might be assuming he could be part of the trade for...

Ya, I can see this being Boutte's last year. And we probably already saw Pop's last year last year. But, I will not stand for us taking a WR in the first 2 rounds. It will be a bust, no matter what. We need an EDGE and either OL or TE in the top rounds. Maybe mid-round WR, but rookie WR's...

The idea of AJ is great, imagining him with Doubs, Hollins, Williams. But, 2 major issues arise in reality. 1. AJ costs a 1st rounder & a massive $$ for a guy with a lot of wear on his tires. 2. AJ makes Boutte irrelevant. They play the same position & style. So, we'd have to either trade...

I'm starting to reconsider. If it is a post-June trade, the 1st rounder for AJ would be in '27 right?? I think we can get a TE3, EDGE3, LB4, OG4, OT4 in the draft. But having AJ Brown / Doubs / Boutte / Williams / Hollins / Chism - would be legit.

That's odd for Broncos to be so desperate for Waddle - to give up a 1st? I mean they have Sutton, Franklin, Mims & Bryant - what's up with those guys? I do not, I repeat - DO NOT - give up a 1st rounder for any WR that's not named Jefferson, Chase or Nacua. It seems Philly is stuck with AJ...

At first glance I felt disappointed about letting Hawkins and Gibbens go. But, then realized it was more about their paper-potential - they both have prototype size and looks, and made some big hits and splash plays... However usually it was because they were constantly out of position and late...
