Day to Day
There was some discussion this morning about the Patriots roster and the guys on IR. They were talking about who would be here next year and who wouldn't. It was pretty much agreed that the team was in pretty good shape with just the 65 or so guys who would active come July 2018. The question was who does Belichick look to draft what will he do?
So I decided to put together my own roster by position and look at what the Pats will look like.
If I was BB, the first thing I'd be looking at is OT. I don't know what Garcia's problem is, because it's considered a non football injury. Will he be back or not? None the less, it's a problem and in yesterday's game against the Bills, Solder had a boatload of problems. He was supposedly sick before the game and didn't warm up with the team, but played, but didn't play well. Time to get younger. Next is a true center, not a versitle guard. Then a quarterback. Hoyer will do as a back up for another year, but I want a kid who can play the position when/if Brady can't. Finally a cornerback who is taller than 6'0". Maybe Bill can get a Richard Sherman clone.
Looking at this roster, I think he will again trade out of the first round and pick up a few extras.
