I'm always thrilled when the Pats make moves that I suggest weeks earlier. Doubs was my #2 desired addition if Pierce got too expensive, and that's how it played out. I really don't want AJ Brown - I think he'd disrupt the vibe of this WR corp. Doubs is a quiet, thoughtful guy who puts all his...

Brown is a waste of a pickup. Hill seems like a potential darkhorse to actually do something on offense. Not just a blocking TE. But, I still want to see a prototype all-around TE drafted as our future. Top 3 rounds should be: EDGE, TE, OT

I like that Jones is much stouter of a DE than both Landry & Chaisson. He's thicker and has a great low center of gravity - which is better for stopping the run. More like Jennings actually. So Ponder projects to be the Chaisson role - more similar to the longer pass-rusher type. But I expect...

Flat no on Brown - too expensive, too much baggage, and too much extra capital. Hope for Pierce - but very likely we get outbid, and that's okay if he's too costly. Settle for Doubs - and I'd be thrilled with that. He shouldn't break the bank, but could end up a very good answer to a role that...

if we lose out on Pierce, I'd be happy with Doubs. He's not quite as explosive maybe, but is a good route runner and can play the outside, with more versatility. He's like a bigger and faster Boutte.

Ya, but if Pierce has a winning football-minded focus he'd choose Pats. Money & QB will be comparable either place. Just compare the combo of: 1. Jim "loose-cannon" Harbaugh and Mike "loose-marbles" McDaniel 2. Mike "Warrior" Vrabel and Josh "most winning SB OC" McDaniels

Better, Younger, Cheaper... Lan Larison! I really think he could be RB3 - he's a more athletic Rex Burkhead, and JMD could use the heck out of him. He also seems more versatile than Hendo.

We have to stop signing old players based on their 10+ years of prime production. No to Hendrickson (31) Chaisson (27) is not a top-echelon DE, but he stabilized our team with starting caliber skill set. He and another solid Vet (to take place of Landry - who is done) would be nice: like Oweh...

If we can get Pierce, matched with Boutte & Hollins - our contested catch rate sky rockets. Then Williams will be able to thrive as the Z, getting open to use his speed. Those 4 make a pretty good outside core, then add either Pop or Chism as the Slot and we're cooking with gas.

I know we don't much about Devito really, but I was thrilled to get him last cutdowns. Also must say that Dobbs was exactly what we needed in a backup and in his few reps last year. When he came in and escaped the rush and bulleted a pass to Pop for a big first down, that was impressive. I...

I'd love to get Otton as our sure-fire FA addition. I'm not thrilled with receiving TE's in the top of the draft, but I've seen a couple mid-lower round TE's that could be interesting. Royer is ranked 8th - average in all aspects Klein is ranked 12th - but I love him. He's not just a blocking...

Yeah, if they just cut Diggs (after probably his most stellar character/leadership on field season of his life), then they probably don't want to risk another aging potential diva like AJ Brown. Go young & hungry - Pierce with a rising core group of Boutte/Williams and Hollins is still a vet...

Not sure if it's been discussed here, but Saunders has quietly been on the PS and signed to futures deal. He has really good size and toughness. Seems like a bigger and more athletic Chung. Could be part of the mix this season - you heard it here first.

Otton just makes the most sense of all the TE's available. We can either see if Dippre takes a step as the blocking TE3, or draft a guy in the middle rounds. But Henry is overdue for an injury, and has a lot of wear on his tires. Otton would be the best TE1 replacement just turning 27 in April.

DJ Moore is basically Boutte - just a bit bigger and more aggressive. But at his age and with a lot of wear on those tires, I don't think I'd want to pay what'll be necessary to get him. I'd really rather Pierce (or conciliation Doubs) - which is something we don't have right now. And probably...

Maye Campbell, Brown/FA, Wilson/Bradbury, Onwenu, Moses/Bryant Rham, Hendo, (+Lan or Draft) Pierce, Boutte, Williams, Hollins, Pop? (+FA or Draft) Henry, Otton, (+CJ? or Draft) Potentially 6 players in year 2 of system, with a few FA's infused to bolster. That roster would cook.

OG and RB3 we can get in the draft or 2nd round of FA flurry. But WR is something the Pats franchise can only really get in FA. A young but proven guy ready to blow up. TE2 falls in same category this year. If we can spend big on WR (Pierce) and TE (Otton) in FA, then we can grab EDGE in 1st...

I had a suspicion, but now that Diggs is gone, Pierce or Doubs makes a ton of sense. AJ is too risky and expensive. Williams may given a shot to compete for a legit Z role. We may even draft another WR - I just hope not in the top 2 rounds.

This is easy. We need a young but experienced vet ready to blossom with the Pats in the Starting X role (WR1 designation is outdated) Plan A - Pierce Plan B - Doubs

Murray is the longest lasting Madden QB in the NFL. It's the end of the Tebow, Manziel, Tua era. (Tua will be done soon too) I don't think Kyler will be very highly regarded to go to a team as a franchise reclamation. He's not Stafford or Bradford or even Cousins. I could see Kyler going to...
