This is why I fought with you at the draft Funky. You like Rick trading down and I hate it.

We still bring the same positive purple passion though 🕺🕺

It should be obvious that more moves are coming - there is no way they go with 2 safeties Week 1.

Except most of those "trade down" guys made the team. Gladney (of course) Wonnum/Lynch/Hand/Osborne. Willekes will probably be kept on IR and you have figure Stanley and Brandel will end up on the PS

You are right. My mind is now switched, we need to trade back from shots at impact players to get more opportunities at fringe/PS/cut draftees.

2 safeties?

7 WRs?

11 DL?

No use getting bent out of shape over what is clearly a rough draft. If I were Ameer Abdullah (who I like), Hercules Mata'afa (who I don't), Chad Beebe or Jalyn Holmes I wouldn't be signing my new lease quite yet.

Chisnea has to be safe, or else you would not bother have putting him on the roster at all. As for giving a purely Special Teams guy a roster spot? Matthew Slater has been in the league 12 years and never caught a pass and I doubt anyone in New England minds, Steve Tasker has a devoted following thinking he's worthy of the Hall of Fame. If Chisnea has a career a third as good of either of those guys it's a roster spot well spent.

Not bent out of shape as I know there will be changes. However we only have 7 days until week one....
