Guessing we will see a couple “opportunity” signings this week.

Doesn't matter, people on Pats fans will mash them because they are not All-Pros
Like that's all that matters with 53 starters...:Rolleyes:

I don’t think people would if we didn’t have a ton of cap to Better the team.
And we reportedly are playing hardball with Left tackles that could be the difference of our best asset picking himself up from the ground or not,

Who? WHO is an "All-Pro" that is sitting there WAITING to be signed?
Diggs? loser fkn douche that's a little b!tch that will be a problem.
Who ELSE do you want them to sign?

Let’s be honest. We haven’t invested at all into the two most important positions (LT, WR1) designed to aid our best asset

 

[mike_usagisan]

Great signing

he is proven in the league, we need one interior lineman like that, considering Mike's struggles

And gives us some flexibility to put Strange at LG. Really, LT is the big question mark on the line right now and they're probably going to address it very early in the draft.

 

[Huckleberry1]

People are mocking the Bengals here while the best player in our whole offense is Rhamondre Stevenson

The best player is Drake Maye

He apparently thinks Cam Robinson is a big difference maker. And if you want double digit pressures he’s definitely the man for it.

I think this puts 4 starters in place . From left to right. LG Strange, C Bradbury, RG Onwenu, RT Moses. Left Tackle remains to be filled.

Lowe's still sleeping fine

I’m starting to feel good about the OL assuming we get the LT.

Assuming we draft a LT in round 1 we look good at T, have Wallace as a developing backup and can keep Lowe in the T4 spot.
IOL Strange Bradbury Onwenu is fine.
Robinson is developmental depth. Schweitzer is a decent vet sub
Draft IOL or 2 on day 3.

This will give us at least a capable OL that isn’t a massive liability

After starting 3 practice squad guys most of last year, we will be starting 3 1st round draft picks

Right, but as we’ve seen, a couple injuries (or random walkoff) and we’re in trouble. But that’s the same for most teams.

The difference is last year we stunk if everyone was healthy. There is nothing you can do but have depth and realistically, the depth could be ok.
Wallace and Robinson should be decent backups in year 2. Schweitzer is a quality veteran reserve. Lowe is probably within the top 25-30 backup OT.

That reminds me.

Women's Words

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES

If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING

This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD

This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.


Almost forgot "Whatever"...(it's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!)

You left out a few wifespeak warning phrases

IF YOU THINK SO: This is a trick, she has no faith in your judgement in that moment. It is quite possible she is now convinced marrying her was the last good decision you made and you may be about to pay for every decision since. STOP and discard whatever thought possessed you as you may well be playing with your life.

OH REALLY: Intonation is almost as important on this one as who it is being said to. Said to a child or an acquaintance, it is usually (but not always) an invitation to expand on what they're saying. Said to a husband 99 times out of a 100 it means you really need to be quiet, NOW. If you were mansplaining something that ratio jumps to 1000 times out of 100.

WE NEED TO TALK: This is a lie. Only one of you needs to talk, the you part of 'we' NEEDS to listen like your life depends on it. Because it probably does

 

[Ring 6]

They've now replaced 7 of the 22 starters from last year.

I'm..not sure you can overhaul a roster much more than that a week into free agency.

3 more to go, LT,WR1, WR2

If they take Hunter at 4 then the WR room looks decent but the LT position is still very unsettled. It would be good to trade up into the late 1st for a tackle.

If they take an LT at 4 then the OL as a whole will be pretty well taken care of, but WR is still iffy. Trading up for a WR may be prudent.

If they can swing Hunter plus a trade up for LT Simmons, that’s probably best case scenario - though Simmons will take a little time. I wouldn’t be too disappointed with a small trade down, Will Campbell, and then just going best player available with your extra 2s and 3s. A solid OL around Maye will create offense even if your receivers are not electric.

Trade down from 4, to middle of the round and take a LT (Simmons, Campbell, banks). Take some of what you got in that trade and trade back into round 1 for the WR.

I like the first part (getting the tackle) but not totally beholden to drafting for need (WR) with the rest. The team needs good players all over and I would somewhat rather just make more high picks taking the best player available.

 

[Love The Drake]

Teams offering trades for Kirk Cousins, this could impact our change of getting Hunter or Carter.

We’ve added 7 starters and a bunch of reserves. The “need players all over” thing is waning.
The need at LT and WR may be more important than all of the other remaining needs combined
