Teams Doing Great In The Offseason

Direckshun · 03-08-2007, 11:21 AM

Free agency is young right now, but I think right now the top three teams that have benefitted the most are the Broncos, Patriots, and Dolphins. All three have been very active, have made some great acquisitions, and should be contenders next year.

I think the Chiefs have also been one of the most active teams in the offseason, and have done really well considering their resources. We couldn't gnab Macklin or Feeley, but we've already grabbed three solid-to-great additions with decent money.

I'd put us in the top five in offseason performance right now, but I don't think we've taken the leaps and bounds that those three teams have.

The Patriots have been active, but the deal they gave Wes Welker pushes them out of the top 3 IMO.

I agree. I think that was a very big pick up for the Pats. I can't believe that Miami would trade him to a AFC East rival.

I would have traded him to a division rival if they were offering THAT. It's WES WELKER.

We'll see who gets the better of this deal. In 2 or 3 years expect me to drag it from the rubbish and compare Welker versus the 2nd and 7th that Miami has.

I don't feel bad about it at all.

It doesn't surprise me that you don't value your 2nd-round pick that much.

Winning 3 Super Bowls in the first half of one decade tends to do that to a person.

. I know this is only the 4th day and a big deal (Holthus) is on the way. I think your statement is about right for top five..... are there more than 5 teams that have done anything

Also, we have more resources but King Carl is holding back for his annual bonus.

Welker has good hands and he gets in and out of routes well, just what the Patriots offense calls for. Alil too much for him but a good pickup for New England and Better one for Miami.

Oh, and don't forget, WR is a position of need for the Pats. I hav eno idea what is available in the draft (I'm not a draftnik), but I imagine the Pats decided that nobody could fill that slot WR need like Welker out of the draft for them as well, and/or not iwth the 2nd round pick or later.

They need to spend some picks on DB/LB, so...

htismaqe · 03-08-2007, 12:50 PM

IMO, there will be 2 or 3 WR's available at #60 that will be better than Welker.

I like the 49ers offseason personally......nice young team ads good signings with their immense cap rooom.
