Which was odd to me after all the O weapons brought in during 2021 FAcy. I thought Parker trade would be it on O (aside from addressing OL). Having 7 out of 10 picks on offense blew my mind. I don't get it.
Harris moving on after this year (heck, maybe this year), White is a big ?????? at this point. JJ didn't get it done, apparently, although I heard he added some bulk and he was down in Tampa with Mac. So they added a speedster and a bruiser for future, maybe sooner than we hoped, needs.
They needed a starting LG, they got one. They're trying to build some consistency and depth on the OL, so there will be camp fights for the 4 or 5 spots behind the starting five.
They only have Parker and Bourne signed for next year, so they added a potential X replacement - and could it mean they try to trade Agholor this year? There's the $10 million they need. I can't believe Josh wouldn't like him back with the Raiders, given his work with Carr in 2020. Agholor (with a QB that likes to bomb and can hit him deep) and Adams, with Renfroe and Waller is a pretty sick.
EDIT: I'm not saying I want this, by the way. I think Agholor's pretty good and it was more a bridle on Mac than anything he did or didn't do. If I heard the Pats had extended him for two more years, lowering his cap hit and keeping him around, I wouldn't be sad. Having said that, as with Mason, look at every dollar saved if they trade him as saving the cap for next year, when I expect a splurge.
The Pats always like to have a QB in development and trading/cutting Stidham seems obvious.
One of 2 things for the D: Either it's put up or go away time for a lot of rookie contract guys, and/or the Pats have already talked with a couple of FAs. Hicks and Flowers would be the obvious go-to's here, but there are others, as well. The offense looks like it's set right now other than a tweak, but the D is certainly a WIP.
