I don’t really think BB is as much of a calculating genius as some might. His balanced approach leaves the door open to pounce when guys get released or are available via trade, especially if they’re willing to take a team-friendly deal to come to New England.

Will something like this happen this year? Hard to say. I’m not just going to run down every team/possible player who might fit.

I do think the position to watch is at guard, not cornerback as many might hope. There’s nine corners on the roster currently, and if the front seven progresses like they should, especially with how they’re able to get to the quarterback, I think we’ll be fine coverage-wise.

But at guard, where you only have Wendell, who isn’t really even a guard, I think making a move might be very necessary, especially if Connolly doesn’t come back. 

Seems like Connolly returning was just a foregone conclusion to most of us, but now that there are other teams interested in him, it makes this an even more critical area. I could see a rookie starting at RG if Connolly is back. But Wendell and a rookie at left guard is a little scary.
