So Which Pieces on Offense/Defense Are a Part of the Future?

[Joey007]

Like which young players are the ones we need to build around? Which ones are not?

Seems to be very few blue chip players on this team.

JC Jackson is making plays when it matters and is still young..i really like his upside here

 

[Joey007]

JC Jackson is a kid I like. One of the few bright spots today. Huge play late in the game.

Bentley intrigues me as well.

Keep the corners upgrade the safeties.

Keep Hightower van noy and Bentley ..... draft athletic dudes to replace the rest

DL .... replace em all for all I care...but I’d keep Adam butler around....everyone else needs to be replaced or will cost too much.

Keep the ol intact if possible .... need to find slot guys and tight ends

Gilly is a stud. Need DL help BADLY. And need another TE outside of Gronk...his time is numbered

Hopefully flowers, Bentley, Gilmore and Jackson. (Talking next 2-3 years)

With Gronk I’d say basically ask him to either take a big pay cut or he will be cut. Would love to have him around if he did take a cut.

Yeah don’t think it’s happening. He’s already losing money betting on himself.

Defense: Van Noy, Flowers, Claiborne, Gilmore, McCourty (the good one), Hightower. That right now is the core.

Offense: Brady until the wheels completely fall off. Edelman, Gordon, White, Michel, Berkead.

Gronk's done imo. You know when a guy just has that killer instinct to win at all costs. He looked utterly defeated. He's done.

Keep the corners upgrade the safeties.

At Safety: still like Harmon. Devin has declined but is still solid. Would like to take a pay cut. Chung should be upgraded upon.

Then if last offseason is any indication he will likely retire.

It’s looking more and more likely. See how he feels health wise after the year. Life after football for him is getting close.

If he’s gone, then we need to sign a vet TE as well. Rookie TE’s almost never produce immediately.

As far as trades I highly doubt SF parts with kittle. Put me in on the Adam shaheen for a late round pick club. Injured this year but still pretty young, I think his best days are ahead of him. And with burton there he may be expendable.

Replace entire defensive front seven, keep Flowers if possible. There's no speed at the moment

Need to upgrade WRs soon, get next TE as well

 

[maust]

Chung should be upgraded upon.

Chung has aged 10 years this season and seems worse by the week. Unless he is playing hurt he needs to go.

Keep Flowers. Keep Butler. Keep Wise (has been underwhelming but still cheap, better reserved for a backup role.)

Shaheen would be a big get. Has huge size, saw him make some nice plays today.

I’m terms of actual FA, Jared Cook is the only really high end option. Will likely get overpaid.

Hightower might have to go.

Looks like Pats are sitting on 4 mill in cap space not adding in what the league will add to the payroll
