Wouldn't be surprised if this is a very short thread...but I suspect we add at least one more player, albeit likely some value guys.
And I would love if they can keep Andrews...

How about Hudson on a 1 or 2 year deal with a plan to draft either Humphrey, Dickerson or Meinerz (my favorite)?Hudson's going to be 32 this summer and Andrews is only going to be 29. Andrews might be the safer bet.
Maybe in a few years but I’d rather have Hudson for the next two, at least. He’s a much better player.Hudson's going to be 32 this summer and Andrews is only going to be 29. Andrews might be the safer bet.
Back last summer, ESPN polled a group of 50 NFL folks comprised of team executives, coaches, scouts and players about the best interior linemen in the league. Hudson ranked 6th overall among all guards/centers.That's fair. I'm not especially familiar with Hudson. Hope they at least get one of them.
It would also be nice at this point if they retain whatever core guys they can. They have to incorporate a lot of new faces in important spots, the guys who have played for Belichick for several years already will help reinforce the culture for those incoming guys.Hudson's going to be 32 this summer and Andrews is only going to be 29.

The flipside is that the upgrade from Andrews to Hudson would mitigate any downgrade from losing Thuney in the interior.It would also be nice at this point if they retain whatever core guys they can.

Karras?What's "Plan C" if they lose out on both Hudson and Andrews? Seems like the group of C's in this year's draft isn't particularly overwhelming.
They're very different players, Agholor was brought in to be a deep threat, Samuel isn't really a straight line field stretcher.Mixed feelings on the reports they'd consider bringing in another receiver. The overall talent level is still pretty low so they could definitely use one, but I'm really not all that enamored with anyone in this free agent class. Golladay is very good but the injury stuff last year was weird (I also can't imagine he wants to be in the same building as Matt Patricia again). Samuel is a good player they should have signed instead of Agholor but he's not a #1. Juju hasn't been incredibly impressive without AB across from him. Fuller looked fantastic last year so I might be underrating him - during the Hopkins years I thought he was a bit of a 1 trick pony. Wouldn't hate seeing John Brown brought in for cheap, but it'd have to be cheap given his health track record. In short I'd like to see another WR brought in before camp but I'd way prefer it's through the draft given what's out there.
But but but...HE'LL BLOCK DEMETRIC FELTON!!!How about Duke Johnson on a cheap deal to fill the James White role?
Nick Martin?What's "Plan C" if they lose out on both Hudson and Andrews? Seems like the group of C's in this year's draft isn't particularly overwhelming.
I think JJ Taylor might be part of the plan there. I know he didn't catch a pass in 2020 and at 5'6" there are obviously size concerns, but his college stats at Arizona were roughly similar to White's at Wisconsin (both ended up ~30 receptions their Senior season), and their combine stats are almost eerily similar (Taylor vs. White: 4.61 40 vs. 4.57 40, 7.00 vs. 7.05 in 3 cone, 8.25" hands vs. 8" hands -- odd that Taylor's are larger, 4.15 20 yard shuffle vs. 4.20 20 yard shuffle).How about Duke Johnson on a cheap deal to fill the James White role?
This is a great point. End of the day, the reason the elite WRs arent moving is because they want "Best in Show" money and they just arent worth it.Is there one?
