If the Pats let go of Bennett...

.. What are the chances we go after him?  He can block and catch, and it would instantly upgrade our offense.  If we drafted Fournette as well, our offense would be very physical and formidable.  I like it, and we would probably have money yet to sign some defense.

 

What do you think?

he was clearly the most talented receiving option on the field for the Patriots and didn't really do that much in the Superbowl. Now Atlanta may have game-planned around him but no thanks- he's going to be asking for a truckload of money that we need to spend elsewhere (see DE, LT)

 

I'd rather draft a TE with potential and have Greg coach him up than a guy who is coasting off a Superbowl win and a fat contract.

The guy blocks like a beast, he's basically like having an extra lineman.  With him and Fournette our offense would be really good, then we could spend a mid round pick on OT and dump the rest into defense.  

 

Personally, I really hope we get either Bennett or DeSean Jackson, our offense needs another weapon

I mean its not like he's Ray Rice or something so maybe it was an exaggeration. but he is definitely an outspoken, me first kinda player. kinda like a steve smith. but smitty was an exception because we drafted him and he was a part of so many special seasons that really put this team on the map. the likely-hood of us signing him would be pretty slim imo. though I was surprised when we signed Finnegan.

Oh I see. I think he's more of a Sherman type than Smitty tho. I give Bennett some credit tho. He uses his platform for good and he speaks out. But he's a beast tho. If we signed him he would arguably be the best route runner we have besides Greg.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
