Jeff Howe: Larry Fitzgerald Available
Now this would be an acquisition I could get behind. Fitz is 27 (6.5 years younger than Ochostinko and none of the off the field baggage) and clearly would be an explosive playmaking addition to the Pats.
The question becomes how much should the Pats be willing to give up for Fitz? I’d say the 17th pick overall is out of the question. But the 28th and Brian Hoyer I’d consider. We all know that the Patriots aren’t going to pick another twelve guys this year. Some of these picks either have to be traded for players, to move up, or for future picks.
Brady’s not getting any younger and there’s no reason to continually stock up on draft picks. At some point you’ve got to go all in and say “alright we’re maximizing all this value we’ve acquired over the years RIGHT NOW”.
