Dirk Diggler Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 With Vollmer playing so well in New England, Matt Light could be available for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. He made the Pro Bowl after the 2006 and 2007 season. Would you be in favor of that move?

Dallascrushers Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 there has to be some reason why he is on the bench...I think we should go with youth and get a tackle in the draft and resign levi jones to keep depth (unless Samuels returns then I don't know maybe move Levi to right tackle and still draft a tackle in the first round) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss...http://www.nfl.com/players/mattlight/profile?id=LIG425673 I thought about him (light) myself, then thought about Vollmers upside . Why not trade our 1st (probably high) for Vollmer and their 1st. That would give them 2 high draft picks and we would still have a 1st and our LT for years to come. He is massive and played REALLY well v/s Freeny. Then hopefully Jordan Shippley, Ingram or Tony Pike is there. Then if not Ingram, Legarret Blount from Oregon will fall to top of 2nd to grab, he reminds me of S.Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallascrushers Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 why is their even a wide receiver on the wish list...as well as tony pike...I know pike is good, but he isn't the future for this franchise...I do like the ingram idea a lot...he is a monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 there has to be some reason why he is on the bench He wasn't benched, he got hurt. But Vollmer is playing so well, Light might get Wally Pipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 there is no way New England would trade vollmer at all Exactly. If Vollmer continues to play at this level, he's a top 5 LT. And you don't trade those dudes for all the picks in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shippley is an awesome route runner always gets open, faster then you think and awesome returns. I wouldnt burn a HIGH 1st on him but if we trade back he could be BPA. I just threw out names , not necessarily in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurry and make assumptions? I've known that Light has been in the league for 9 years for a while. There are few players that are worth a 2nd or 3rd round selection. Light simply isn't one of them. NE may fleece the Raiders for a bonehead selection like that, but this team needs to get younger and more talented at every spot on the O-line. A 2nd or a 3rd can get you a 10 year starter, not someone that will last a few years at best. At this point id rather have Jones at LT and have the team use its draft selections wisely and selecting young, talented O-lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flock53 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 yea but we need to get younger you know? GOOD IS GOOD and if you dont have to worry about that for 4-5 years. You could still draft young (in later rounds) and groom them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins-Canes-Mounties Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Would I recommend signing him if they cut him? Yes Would I recommend giving up anything better than a 5th rounder for him? No. He would be a short term fix only. You should be drafting a quality 8 year starter for a first or second and a solid player with a third.

How do you put him top 5??????? And yes you do trade. He was 2nd rd #58, if you give a top 10 and they still have Light to use and find another in 2nd or later rounder, it makes since. In the stock market (or fantasy football) its called buying low selling high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam291 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I know people who are Pats fans, and none of them thought Light was very good, especially after last season. They were thrilled when Light lost his starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but the new england FO didn't just get off the short bus. you're talking about a rookie LT that shut down dwight freeney and has been a beast since he stepped onto the field. Vollmer has shown the athletic ability to match up with nearly any DE and the technical ability to shut them down. vollmers trade value would probably be a 1st and a third alone. Light on the other hand should probably go for a 3rd or a 4th,maybe more maybe less depending on how well he comes back from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've already heard talk that the Patriots will consider moving Light to RT when he comes back from his injury and keeping Vollmer at LT, if he leaves the bench at all. He's just lost a step over the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
