I think this is the difference between GM for a day and a mock draft. While closely related the intent here was to pull the trigger on your move as a GM. Then wait 2-3 years and say damn I moved up to get so and so and he underachieved. If I did x,y or z, I could've gotten such and such a player...
Yes we need a #1 WR. That would be MHJ. Arr you content with that?
The point about making it a GM thread was to see how many of you want to bad mouth the decisions by the FO yet only speculate on what they should or shouldn't do.
Basically the intent was to put up or shut up.
Call it what...
Since, we've all proven that we are expert arm chair GMs, let's put our money where are mouths are.
Let's set the conditions. NE doesn't do anything else in FA. They also don't make any trades during the draft.
It will be fun to bookmark this and look at it 2-3 years from now and see who...
Unfortunately, you may be correct. Maybe Pops has a breakout year. New system and new QB.
The way this FA period is going, I see NE taking MHJ at #3 unless they trade out. Then taking either McCarthy, Pennix or Nix with their next pick. I'm feeling ok if that's what they decide? Pennix would be...
Are players not signing in NY, CA, PA, DC... I'm not claiming to be a tax expert, but there are things that make you go hmmmm.

I hate everything NY. I don't think you can be a true Bostonian sports fan and not. Mangina just cemented it. One of the most chicken shit things ever.
Cross another one of the list. Tyron Smith signing a one year deal with the hated Jets. Could reach $20M with incentives. Full details not available. But, I'd have to think the incentives would deal with # of snaps/games played considering his past injury history.
A FA QB or a drafted QB? Are you all in on using #3 on a potential starter?
I think the D will be as good or better. Mayo has watched and learned. His smarts is what made him the player he was. Plus Stevie B is still there. We'll learn quickly enougb what he learned from pops.

Now this kind of hurts. Only a 4th rounder.
He did say he would only play for a few certain teams. No mention of who those teams were. Nor what his contract is worth?
I agree. Diva WRs very rarely take their teams to a SB. A couple decent WRs couple with one or two good TEs make the difference.
We were very spoiled with what BB put out there for so many years. Amendola, Welker, Troy Brown, Ben Coats... all made huge differences.
Granted they had the best...
I'll go back to my previous post IF NE
could land OT Tyron Smith ( adding Mekhi Becton to this list) along with one of these WRs; Marquise Brown, Mike Williams, Tyler Boyd, Michael Thomas, Hunter Renfrow. Would you @molsaniceman consider this a succesful off season? Trent Brown was terrible...
As I mentioned in a previous post Austin Hooper isn't who he once was. But he was only targeted 31 times and had 25 catches. He was targeted less than twice a game.
Gesiki 29 of 41. I almost can't even remember him being on the field.
Yes I believe Hooper is better. Now it comes down to the...
Okafor did lose his job but it was to a 1st round draft pick. Not some smuck. Anything is an upgrade to the turnstyle they put out there last year.
Austin is better than Giesiki.
They added depth at RB considering they had none.
Got rid of some cancer opening up other spots.
They didn't lose...
Yep, no big splashes but picked up some nice complimentary players. Let's hope Hooper finds his groove again.
Still some nice FA talent out there. As of now I probably give the Pats a B or B-. Could possibly move up to a B+ for me with a couple good pick ups.
If we could land OT Tyron Smith...
A lot of pressure on that #one pick. Not a far trip from the windy city. What else do they have to do anyway?
Just doing their due dilligence while possibly setting a smoke screen. Maybe to see if other teams are thinking like you? See exactly how much they can drive that price up if someone...
I'm more of an Uche fan this morning. Read another report where he took less because of Mayo. He's another player saying he'd run thru a wall for Coach Mayo. This D is going to be fierce is Judon and Gonzo are healthy.
Quite surprised he took a one year deal.
We knew Miami was in it to win. I and others said this crash was coming. You can't spend all that $ and collect all those draft picks whose contracts all come due at the same time. Dolphins soon back to flounering.
