Fritz, I think the general consensus among GM's (maybe with the exception of Belicek) is that next year's draft is way worse talent-wise than this year's.Originally posted by FritzAnd Belichek also traded his third to the Panthers, I think - for their second next year. He's deft at stockpiling picks and rolling them into better picks the following year. It's the one thing TT has not quite gotten to - yet.
People on this board have also commented on how damn many picks he has and how maddening it is to have NE picking all the time and stockpiling talent. But it wasn't too long ago that there was a lot of derision of TT for trading down and stockpiling picks. Lots of barbs about TT loving 7th round picks more than anything else. This year Belichek has a load of seventh rounders and many people seem envious.
Weird how the grass often seems greener on the other side.
I wonder how badly TT wishes he had a pick in the 4th. Or if he just goes off and takes a nap until the beginning of the 5th round.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I agree with some of that...with the 4 picks we have left, I would not be surprised to see any of these: OLB, QB, RB, TE, CB, or maybe OL.Originally posted by FritzI think there are openings in the following places:
DE
OLB
CB
S
RB
TE
P
QB
So I'd say there are eight openings on this team, yes. A third QB, someone to take Montgomery's spot, Poppinga's spot, Bush's spot, 4th safety spot, Ahman Green's spot, Krapinos's spot, and someone to duke it out with Donald Lee."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murraugh

Add to Fritz's list Special Teams! God they were awful last year. Don't forget about that. A dependable, dynamic punt/kick returner is a #1 need.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Maxi mentioned above that there will be a point where the undrafted guys will have as good as a chance as the drafted guys. Chances are BB knows where this line is, he's got the ammo to cross the line if he wants or not have to fight for guys as UDFA's. He gets the rights to fringe guys he wants with 7s, and fights for more guys as UDFA's. Picks are currency this weekend as BB is rich as hell. Picks gives you options.Originally posted by FritzAnd Belichek also traded his third to the Panthers, I think - for their second next year.

The thing is they are always competitive and picking in the 20s, that's where we are now, hopefully we've arrived. The thing is they always have that extra 1st or 2nd round pick that gives them the built in edge to do what they do every year. They picks are currency they use those, extra's pay off with interest. Give TT an extra 1st or 2nd and he's pulling off the same moves."When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time" Max McGee

We also need a new Special Teams coach. Can we draft one today?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

Well, were those three TD's scored by your team or by your opponent?Originally posted by ND72I was the special teams coach last year for my school....3 Kick Returns for Touchdowns...can I apply?

Then I'll decide.

that's why I don't think he trades down. Just not enough openings, and why draft kids who aren't going to make it anyway.Originally posted by ND72I will not be surprised to see Teddy move down with our 5th or 6th to try to grab a few more picks....yet I won't be surprised if we stay pat and take what we got. I'm not sure how many open spots we truly have on our roster right now. If we end up with say 8 guys, do 8 guys even have a chance to make the team as opposed to 6 guys?www.ccso228@twitter.com
