But yea I can't wait to see what they will do in the draft, and maybe they pick up another free agent or two.

Exactly. It's at the end of the 1st round, so they could trade a couple spots down into the top of the 2nd round and get another couple picks in later rounds. They only have 5 total picks in the whole draft, which is very abnormal for BB.

They signed Michael Jenkins from the Vikings, but he probably won't even make the final roster. The FA's I'm looking at for us are Emmanuel Sanders from the Steelers or John Abraham from the Falcons. I think both would do well for the Patriots next season.

If anything, I think they are shopping their back up QB Mallet for couple round picks.

From what I'm reading, it's more like they want to keep him. If a team wants to give them a 1st or 2nd round pick for him they will gladly trade him, but this isn't likely.

HMM Interesting..well only time will tell about what will happen..
What are your thoughts on welker leaving btw? Im pretty sure you talked about it on the thread already..but just wondering. It was pretty much a Welker-Amendola swap.

I didn't like it, I think they should have matched the Broncos' offer at least. If Amendola can stay healthy and build some good chemistry with Brady, it could be an upgrade over Welker. That's a big if though.

Yea, the chemistry between Welker and Brady is not something you just build right away. It takes time, but hopefully Amendola and Brady can just get in sync right away. However, keep in mind that Amendola is not going to be the #1 WR so as long as he is decent he will be okay. Pats have so many options they even have Hernandez go up on WR sometimes.

Actually if he goes directly into Welker's spot as expected, he will probably be the #1 WR. He's the best WR that's currently on the roster......

Well, unless they get a better receiver between now and the start of the season. But Patrots will figure it out. Edleman might compete for the spot you think?
