Name them. I mean trade up for a top QB when you have no resources to trade sounds absurd. Name the QB and what you wanted to give up for them.The mismanagement is not putting any true top dollar resources into the offense. Trade up and get a blue chip QB or receiver or trade for one of the 2 or 3 legit number 1 receivers that seem to be available every offseason. Sign a real tackle in free agency. Not Riley Reiff.
As for receivers, those guys suck. Hunter Henry and a few flashes from Bourne are the only ones out of that group that produced. Stop looking for deals and pay up.
WRs leaving their current teams because of contract squabbles always agree to new contracts BEFORE they're traded. Which is why the trades happen in the first place. Tyreek and AJ Brown weren't coming to new England. Who do you think we should have traded for?
I mean it's very easy to say, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT ALL-PRO. Making it happen is another story. You need to be specific about who you would have traded for and what you would have spent.
Let me give you one example: The Dolphins traded two #1 picks and a #4th for Jaylen Waddle. The picks for Waddle were the 12th in the draft and the 13th in the draft plus a 4th. The Patriots were picking at #21 and last year at #15 (though with Waddle we may have won an extra game and had a #20 pick). What would the Eagles have preferred? The #12th and 13th 1st round picks plus a 4th? Or what New England had to give? Maybe we would have given 3 #1s for Waddle, they "might've" taken that, but I doubt it. I still think the Eagles got more than what the Patriots could've given with 3 #1s.
