Transcript

00:00We start with the first head coaching job that was filled a reunion

00:04Mike vrabel makes his way back to foxborough where he won the marty trophies as a player and got some of his coaching starts

00:12Under bill belichick last year with gerard mayo

00:16Who was kind of the scapegoat if you will after only one season and a 4 and 13 record

00:22That was the mark for the patriots

00:25It's 140 to 1 to win superbowl 60. So not overly optimistic. They are going to have immediate success

00:32But they have the fourth overall pick this upcoming april

00:36Nine total picks in the nfl and all of these salary cap numbers provided to us by our producer extraordinaire

00:42Joe friso are from over the cap 120 mil for the pats the rs

00:48That is the most around the national football league this off season

00:52So with all of that money and a promising young quarterback in drake may

00:57Question number one for mike brable and new england. Where should the money be focused in free agency?

01:04All on offense t. Higgins

01:06By the way, t. Higgins should be a new england patriot like tomorrow if that could be a possibility

01:10Which we know it isn't in free agency

01:12If you have a young quarterback, it's proven here

01:14You want him to last which means you want him to get through his progressions and have guys that can make plays for him

01:19To help him out nothing beats a 70-yard slant that turns into a 33-yard play. They don't have that on the patriots

01:25So you have the top four pick understand how I would spend it

01:28You don't want to blow through the 120 because there's not it's not a great free agent class

01:32And that's not the vic the way you get to victory

01:34And from a head coaching position you want to set that foundation, but the foundation has to begin with drake

01:39May he signed t. Higgins and maybe with the fourth pick there

01:42Say, you know is is travis hunter around if he's not you trade back to get multiple draft picks you add at least two more

01:48Quality wide receivers that are young in the draft the veteran t. Higgins two young playmakers and you say, you know what kid?

01:54You have enough there in the tank. You'll get the defense straight

01:56You're going to sign those defensive tackles and defensive ends

01:59Maybe on the cheap because you have to understand this you have a lot of money to spend

02:02But you are going nowhere next year, you know spent a lot of money last year

02:05They got nothing back on it the tennessee titans. They said, you know, let's bring in quality football players with a bad quarterback

02:10We're not ready to win rebuild this thing the right way, but you know what doing it the right way is

02:14Take care of your quarterback so he can progress. That's my only thing. I need to see from new england patriots this year bet
