Am I the only one on this board who didn't like Merriweather as a prospect? Seemed like an out of character pick for Pioli to me.

I do think trading picking up Welker and dropping Daniel Graham for Kyle Brady and over a million in extra cap space were good moves for them.

I think they over payed for Thomas, but I think everyone who made a big free agent acquisition this off season over payed.

As a Pittsburgh fan, I still think San Diego has more talent than NE. But with Norv at the helm and the loss of Wade Phillips I would put you guys as the favorites right now like everyone else.

Merriweather has a ton of natural talent. I do agree he was out of character pick, but the talent is there. I trust bellichek to turn him around.

I think NE has more talent than SD but just bearly. I feel our offense is better as well as our defense, but both are only slightly better than SD. I am much much more worried abut SD than the Colts (altho still somewhat worried about the Colts).
