if the Draft order stands as it does today, and McFadden is on the board still. you have to take him. slot him and LM in the backfield and youll instantly have one of the best running tandems in the league. but id be willing to bet the pats trade away the pick for later 1st rds this year and maybe next, to recoup what they lost

I'm up for anything. If they can drop down and pick up another quality player and add more parts, I'm down for it. I'd love to draft Mike Hart out of Michigan, I'd think he would compliment Maroney very well and he could be had later in the draft. That would allow us to draft a LB/LT/CB with the extra pick that we get. But I would be very happy with McFadden. mahalo

hold up. i never said replace Seymour. before the year started, I said Seymour was the best DT/DE (whatever the hell you want to call him) in the NFL.
right now, he is coming off an injury- and i do cut him slack. I will give him to progress and get better
but if you deny that this year, he is not shedding one on one blocks he used to be able to- you are flat out ignoring the truth.
i hope and pray Seymour returns to form- but I am all for bringing in a STUD DT to push him and rotate through with our other D lineman.

But we already have FOUR starting quality defensive linemen. Why on earth would you want five? Would it be nice to have Dorsey? Sure it would be but there are too many weak spots on this team to have four first round defensive linemen AND Jarvis Green who is signed long term when most defensive sets only have three d-linemen. If we ran a 4-3, you may have a point but it's overkill and takes up way too much of the cap to have that any defensive linemen. We have too many other needs that Dorsey is just overkill. Nice idea but it just doesn't make sense for the team right now. mahalo

I really, really think the Pats are going to keep the pick and take Jake Long. It makes too much sense.

After this season, the cap space will be around $10MM, with 40-something guys under contract.
