Patriots trade for WR Mohamed Sanu, for a second-round pick

[DaBronxPats14]

So 2 more good post season runs and it could look a little more like

(1) Julian Edelman
(2) Jerry Rice

Yes because we don't celebrate Number 2 around here lol

I wonder where Edelman falls on that list..

Edelman lines up at both split end and flanker too.

I hope gordon sticks around as well. Bring him back for philly. I still think he can be a factor in this offense despite the disappointing start.

Add Sanu for Cleveland, Harry for Ratbirds and Gordon for the Iggles. Profit.

I'm not the only one who figures that the Patriots are burning up the lines and looking for someone to take Bennett, am I?

 

[nextsuperstar]

Trading Bennett is how you recoup some of the draft capital and open up cap space. It makes too much sense, especially since other players fit better in this defense.

Nothing is ever guaranteed.

Except for the Patriots winning SB54.

Who exactly is this? Asking for a friend

 

[Keyser Söze]

Belichick’s had his issues in recent years drafting in the 2nd. That pick for a #2 WR that we desperately needed is a win. Edelman, Sanu, Gordon. Dorsett and Harry soon. BB is definitely maximizing this window.

Whats Gunner on pace for this year?

#8 in punt return average now.

I'm sure that someone's already gone over the whole "Kraft cutting AB has now cost the team..." portion of this, so I'll pass on that for the moment...

I like that the team has addressed an obvious positional need. I'd, personally, have preferred either a Patriots-style slot or outside speed, but I'm sure that McDaniels will enjoy finding ways to work in all the WR parts, and Sanu will add to the overall level of play. When you add Sanu in the mix, along with Watson, things seem to be much more settled. The team might still look to add another TE, if they don't think Thomlinson is a long term solution, and the team needs to find an RB1 who's playing like an RB1, but Wynn should solve a lot of the OL problems.

So, adding Watson, Sanu, and Wynn should stabilize the offense at all "levels" except RB, and (barring more injuries) RB1 seems as if it's going to be the final question moving forward.

I'm willing to give Michel the benefit of the doubt based on last year, until we get Wynn back and gain some continuity at the TE/FB (if we have one) spots. But I agree, at the least he's got to meet those improvements halfway too.

 

[Deus Irae]

WR depth chart determinations, both overall and by "position", should be interesting moving forward.

 

[Kasmir]

No I didnt.

Gunner is no better than Berrios, but Gunner players with the GOAT HC and QB and Berrios doesnt.

Gunner 9.0 yds/returns >> Berrios 6.6 yds/return.

Nope. That should be expected at this point. Maybe we can trade him to the Raiders. Think he will want to play in Vegas?
