Jeff Fisher saying he had an offer for a 1st for Bradford but would rather have Foles than that pick.
Thats like a double victory for JABEE.

Pats new philosophy of outscoring teams is coming together. It's going to backfire if they can't though.

Wait, we signed Fairley too? Not sure if I should be excited or annoyed that any talent we acquire on defence will be wasted by that fraud Gregg Williams.
Please don't be Pace.... I'll take DBG over Stills
It's written in the stars. It's time for your quadrennial loss to the Giants in the Super Bowl.
It's March 13th. The games don't start until September.

God damn. Saints just got Ellerbe, a third and C.J. Spiller? I like it.
He's a solid deep threat. Catches everything that comes his way practically. I like him a lot and he's going to make some serious plays in Miami.
Lol I thought the same thing. I mean that's some painfully obvious shit anyway

Speedy inside receiver with almost 1000 yards and 3 TDs in reception last year. Solid slot receiver.
Are the fans really that salty about Andre? The guy gave his best years to the team and in all of those years, they couldn't give him one decent QB.
Trailer was cool though. XD
Wow really?! Thanks for the heads up! Thank God the corner market is LOADED right now.

Wow so Chip probably wasn't lying about being offered a first for Bradford.
Are you under the impression that signing UFAs is the only way to add players to a team?

Bush visiting the Pats today.
Not worth it unless he's cheap, <$4M
No, I am however of the belief that the market had some decent options, and they've all but dried up, forcing the pats hand into trading for a corner. Their chances are dwindling at this point, but I'm hoping for the best.
According to Peter King the Browns offered Chip the #19 pick for Bradford.
He will be significantly less than that. I didn't get to watch Helu much, but I was more interested in him than Bush. Bush can be electric, but he's getting up there in age, and he struggles with injuries, and from what I hear pass protection is an issue as well.

He has to be much less than that, otherwise they probably would've just kept Vereen.
The Patriots play the market. Cornerbacks are making $7M+ APY on the open market, being paid of out whack, incommensurate with their level of talent. Brandon Flowers isn't a $9M CB. Byron Maxwell isn't a $10.5M CB. Antonio Cromartie isn't an $8M CB. Cary Williams isn't a $7M CB. It is what it is. There are cheaper options, there is the draft, there are UDFAs, there are roster cutdowns, and there are trades. Super Bowls are not won or lost on March 13th.
Good, I wanted him!
I would love Bush on the team, especially on the cheap. I think he'd be killer and he's a better runner out of the backfield than Vereen.

Well, the offer may not be off the table for Chip at this point.
As a dolphins fan I do not want Bush to go to NE; I'm surprised Jaguars haven't thought about grabbing him on the cheap as a weapon for Bortles.
When was the last time the patriots drafted a decent corner? I think Flowers deal wasn't bad at all. If we're relying on the draft or cuts, there will be a serious problem in the secondary. Seasons aren't won on march 13th, however, no matter how much Kool-aid you drink (and you seem to have had a lot), you need talent on the roster.
As of right now, Arrington/Ryan/Dennard/Butler is the unit they'll be trotting out there. Can that change? Absolutely! But as the options dry up, I lose faith, because they've done it before, and it's the "patriot way"
I agree with this. I've said this before, but given the pre-draft stock on vereen I pictured him as a beefier danny woodhead. A guy who can lineup anywhere on the field and be competent, and a guy who could have a huge impact in the screen game. Don't get me wrong Vereen was great, very clutch, for the most part sure handed... however his running really wasn't any more effective than Danny, slightly better. Bush in the hurry up could do some damage, it'll be especially helpful in the play action.
Bingo. This is a pretty typical move on their part. Corners are becoming way overvalued on the open market based primarily on the success of the last two SB champions. And I think the Pats once again are reading this trend. I expect to see another pass rusher signed as well as that is clearly a better place to spend money right now.
Now I have to admit they are trying my patience a bit but someone will become available.
I'm not drinking Kool Aid, I'm just not overly reactionary. It's MARCH. The games don't start until SEPTEMBER. How do you not understand this? You were just bitching about the Dolphins giving the season away by getting rid of Tannehill's weapons then, oh wow, they traded for Kenny Stills and signed Jordan Cameron. I guess they realized the season doesn't end 2 days into free agency, which you can't seem to grasp.
Yup. This draft is going to be interesting, for sure.

Ridley's a free agent.
Yeah, Vereen never impressed me as a runner; though he wasn't terrible I'm not even sure he was any better than Woodhead. Never seemed to break long runs as I figured he would. Bush has come a long way in that regard the last 4-5 years.
Falcons-GAF,
Am I crazy for thinking if Gurley is there in the 2nd we might want to take him?
I've said this before, I was judging the AFCE based on what had been done. Admiditly I don't know the dolphins cap situation, I didn't think they could afford to bring on all the guys they have since then- Cameron and rumblings they're bringing clay back, and now stills. With Suh and Wallace on massive contracts, how can they afford to keep their young talent? Doesn't tannehill need a contract soon? That being said they're stacked now and I changed my rankings accordingly.
Am I reactionary? Hell yes, never said I wasn't. Am I concerned right now? Hell yes. Do you need to respond? NOPE. The market is dry now. Is there a trade partner? Definitely possible, but it's less likely as the days go on, period. You know why the dolphins have improved? Because they went out and got free agents, AND utilized a trade. Pats are getting down to a point where they won't be able to utilize FA to beef up their decimated secondary, I really don't understand why they've handled it the way they have.
Don't think Gurley will be there in the 2nd. I think any of SD, HOU, DAL, or NE will jump on him in the back half of the 1st.
Ah, right. Not thinking he's worth resigning then. Bad ball control
Vereen's real strength was his slot receiving. Agree he was no explosive or super impressive runner
I doubt he makes it out of the first round.

No one thought signing Revis and Browner would work out. In Bill We Trust.
I think he'll come back on a cheap deal.

Fairley know he will look good playing next to all those other guys. He's down to 280 and needs to add weight. I think he will be really motivated this year so he can get his megadeal next offseason
