Free acquisition, contract doesn't matter for this exercise. It certainly would be harder to do if we had to take contracts into account. The Pats are the beneficiary of a weird new expansion draft where every player on every team is exposed, and the Patriots get to pick ONE player from the rest of the NFL to be on the Patriots. In exchange, the Pats have to give up a starting player at the same position, so it's not like NE can add, say, Pat Mahomes as a backup to Tom Brady.
Which player from the rest of the NFL would you pick, and which presumptive starter (knowing that not every "starter" is in the books in NE's depth chart currently, so do your best) would you give up for this player?
You can decide if you want this as a GFIN now move to help get BB/TB another ring before TB retires. Or maybe you decide you want Mahomes to replace Brady and maybe set the Pats up for the next 15 years. Just give your selection and your reasoning.
