There is zero evidence that Onwenu is moving to RG, Don't you still want Sow to move to LG? Doesn't this leave a hole at RG where we drafted Robinson?

He isn't going to be good for gadget plays unless he is the active #2 QB, which mean he needs to be able to play every and run the team if the #1 is injured. There are a lot of backup QB's in the league who can run a team if necessary. Let us say that we are playing Game 10 and Maye is...

The bolded are all backups. Bolden makes the 53 as a kick returner and Austin is our youngster who hope is developing. I think that Gonzo, Gilmore, Jon Jones are a fine set of starters, with the punt and kick returners (Marcus and Bolden) as backups. I expect Austin to be a 6th. He will...

yes, we understand that this is your explanation for a lot of what the team does.

And he's back from IR.

Yup. If he is healthy, he should be our kick returner instead of Reagor. Marcus can do other things. Reagor not so much. https://www.patspulpit.com/2023/7/12/23784748/patriots-2023-roster-analysis-isaiah-bolden-cornerback

We need to help Marcus focus. He is one of the top punt returners in the league. Hopefully, he is also learning enough to be the backup NB and future replacement for Jon Jones. He sill be more valuable if he isn't "everything".

This isn't very hard at all. We drafted 3 OL's last year. They thought that they needed an upgrade from Mafi.

we'll sign a free agent RB, probably during camp. We took a RG because the staff saw a much more serious problem at RG than we seem to see.

Yes, and 2022 was his last year, and 2023 so says this board

REPEAT AFTER ME backups aren't worth a 7th or are they?

If Strange is on the PUP list, the team will have time to evaluate Sow before deciding on whether he is the permanent starter at LG. Strange could compete the season on the squad replacing Mafi or he could be traded.

The player is in his 4th year on a team friendly rookie contract, which may or may not be fine. The option will cost the team $22M GUARANTEED for the 5th year. So, perhaps, sometimes it is right not to choose the option...

If Sow is our starting LG to start the season, and the staff likes him over Strange, Strange will be traded.

I think the team is fine with choosing from CB: Gonzales, Jones, Jones, Austin, Bolden, Wilson and Wade (and possibly Jackson) We also might sign Gilmore. Dial is competing for a Practice Squad position.
