00:00If you're going to go all in and build through the trenches,
00:04get your hog mollies, your big uglies, your hosses,
00:08that's your plan.
00:09I think the better route to do that is free agency.
00:12And I think the way I would phrase
00:14it is the top free agent target for me is not T Higgins.
00:17And I would love them to get T Higgins,
00:20but I think there's a lot of options at wide receiver.
00:22We've talked about them.
00:23You could trade for DK Metcalf, Cup, Samuel.
00:26There are receivers in the draft,
00:27not that this organization has a good track record of that.
00:30So I think the number one free agent target for me
00:34is Ronnie Stanley.
00:35And getting a blindside left tackle
00:38who has had injury issues, but he's
00:41been a high level player for a talented and successful
00:46organization, I think that's where I'd start.
00:48That would be the ideal fit this offseason.
00:51If the Patriots are going to make a big splash,
00:53drop some dough, T Higgins I'd be very excited about.
00:56I'd like a shiny object to get the jersey.
00:58You're more likely to get the T Higgins jersey than the Ronnie
01:00Stanley jersey.
01:01But if they don't get Ronnie Stanley,
01:05then I'm starting to wonder, well,
01:06where is your franchise left tackle coming from?
01:09Is it the draft?
01:09I'm not sure.
01:10Is it another free agent?
01:11I feel like that's, if you're talking
01:14about scarcity out of position, that's
01:16the one I want to go capitalize on.
01:17Yeah, I'm torn on the draft just because I don't
01:20want one in the first round.
01:21I want one probably in the second round.
01:23But then you're saying, well, if there's
01:25nobody really liking the first round,
01:27what are the chances of somebody really liking the second round?
01:29And we've seen it work both in their advantage
01:32and not in their advantage.
01:33The Patriots drafted Joe Tooney and Shaq Mason
01:37not in the first round.
01:39And those guys at a time were two of the best guards
01:41in the NFL.
01:42Guards.
01:42Guards, yeah.
01:43No, you don't want Tooney playing left tackle,
01:44but they were two of the best guards,
01:45but still solidifying your offensive line.
01:47I would say Dickerson and Beckton,
01:49pretty good for the Eagles.
01:52So there is an avenue there.
01:54But then there's also the two guys you took last year.
01:56You kind of took that similar approach.
01:59The two guys you drafted a year ago,
02:01and maybe you were going to play one of them out of position
02:03or whatever, but those guys you could have looked at,
02:06you're like, oh, that's similar draft capital to Tooney
02:09and Mason.
02:10So it's all about finding those guys
02:12and then sort of developing them.
