Brandon Tate May Be Odd Man Out in New England

To the people saying we need to fix OL, CB, DT, etc: Why can't we do both? It's not like you have to choose one or the other. Right now, WR is a position of need, not as much as DT or CB, but, this is a player that would probably be playing for the 2-year minimum (whatever it is now), has vertical speed in a vertical offense, and is just playing behind a 100 other receivers in New England.

WR could use help, but we gotta fix the trenches first. If our line play doesn't improve dramatically, it's going to be a long, ugly season yet again.

if a WR comes along that shows promise, you would ignore it just because?

If he's shown so much promise as a receiver, why is he being cut from one of the most pass happy teams in the league? He's shown no more than Lafell or Naanee. His best attribute is as a kick returner, which we don't need because A) Mike Goodson and B) the new kickoff rules.

Do you not believe a guy who has spent two years in the league, under a pass offense like ours, is immediately better than Charly Martin, Pilares, etc?

that's a question you'll have to ask Rivera..

doesn't mean he doesn't possess more talent than either player on our team.. if the coaching staff doesn't see enough, so be it.

the point of my question wasn't answered though. . should a receiver come along, are you all saying you would ignore it just because?

rhetorical question, obviously we should take the WR should it be a good match..

No, I don't think he's better than Charly Martin. Martin is a highly skilled special teams player, which we don't have many of, plus he can play a little receiver. Tate is a highly skilled kick returner, which we already have a few of those, and can play a little receiver.

Due to this, Martin adds a lot more value to this team than Tate would.

Should we take a player that has shown more than the young talent we already have on the roster? Of course. Is that player Brandon Tate? No.

Wow. You must be a State fan, right?

Or is it Duke?

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
