Welp Rusty, pretty much answered Hetch's statement for me. Amendola is younger and I felt that once Welker went to test the market Plan B (sign Amendola) was set in motion. And yeah I do think that Brady is a better QB than Sam Bradford. Brady may have lost Welker, but he gained Amendola, Jones and perhaps Sanders...all of whom are much younger than Welker. Of course health is, as always, the one caveat, but you can say that about Welker and any other skill player in the NFL. Amendola and Sanders have made catches on the outside, which could, theoretically, open things up in middle where Gronk and Hernandez do most of their work.
Talib is back! (YES YES YES YES YES!)

Great signing. Hope he can stay healthy all year. He is a difference maker who when in the lineup even makes Mayo a better player (though the Rusty's will never admit that).

In response to dapats1281's comment:
Would still imagine cb to be one of the first two picks.
Talib is only locked in for one year, so he could very well play himself out of New England last season.
Back up corner needs to be addressed. If Dennard or Talib are unable to suit up, McCourty or Arrington are back in the outside...and that not only puts them in a bad position, it takes them out of their best positions.
And no, I am not confident going into the season with Ras-I as the number1 backup outside corner
I`m with you, we need to draft a cb not in the first round but we need a corner -

So the same backfield as last year with an All Pro strong safety added...
Where are all the worry worts this morning?
We're one defensive tackle away from a dominant defense, let's get Vollmer back now and enjoy the draft... if the whiners here let us?

he makes everyone on the defense better because he gives the d-line and lb's more time to get to the qb. -

If the Pats were wiling to offer a multi-year deal, it wouldn't be surprising to see an extension, assuming good play and health from Talib, before the season ends.

In response to RidingWithTheKing's comment:
So, who are the top rated CBs in the draft? Could BB deal Mallett to Cleveland for #6 overall, with Lombardi trading back and BB has a shot at Dee Milliner?
Hmm.
Rusty if we get the 6th pick in this trade, don`t you think is better we spend in another position? -

Are you thinking AWilson is an All Pro S? The same guy who was taken off the field in passing downs?Look, I am glad Arrington and Talib were resigned. But other than subbing Wilson for Chung, what makes you think this is an upgrade over last years defense?

Lets lock up Abraham or Dumervil(not likely due to price tag) so we can actually get to the QB this year.
