I'm in if you'll have me. ICEMAN

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28931546/source-eric-ebron-steelers-reach-2-year-12m-deal What exactly are the Patriots waiting for? Didn't they already go down this road last season and shoot themselves in the foot with the TE position? They waited too long with Gronk and then when the music stopped, there weren't any more TE's available. I'll be honest, as a Pats fan, I am pretty much all done with "in Bill we trust." ICEMAN

I hope that Gase has been saving his money, because he'll never work in the NFL again. Not even as an OC. The guys is a flat-lining moron. The closest he has ever gotten to genius was when he was in meeting rooms with Peyton Manning. I think that Gase needs to call Mangini and see what support group he has been attending since being shown the door from the NFL. ICEMAN

This is looking to be a 50/50 split. I think that this is, unfortunately, only going to be changed by injury to one of the players. Whomever is left standing would be a top 10 RB. ICEMAN

Going under the assumption that Lynn was trying to do what was best for the team offensively last year and would want to continue that this year, I think that it is safe to assume that the breakdown of the RB position will be the same as it was last year. Gordon will get about 55%-60% of the work, Ekeler will get about 30%-35% and Jackson will get about 5%-10% of the work. It's pretty clear listening to Coach Lynn's comments over the past 2 days that he believes that Gordon is a significant upgrade over Ekeler. ICEMAN

The Autumn wind is a Patriot...... ICEMAN

My guess is that he fires his agent in the next day or two (after truly misreading Gordon's leverage and market) and he goes back to the Chargers before game #1. If you just take a look at who has enough cap space to take him on, the only two teams that look like a possible fit are the Texans (who now have no first or second round picks for the next 20 years) and the Colts. The Colts seems to be pretty happy with the Mack/Hines tandem, so I don't really see the urgency for them and they would be loathe to give up a first rounder. Their GM loves to build through the draft. ICEMAN

I think that he has a cap on his fantasy numbers due to his horrendous Offensive Line. That line leaks like a sieve and he is going to be running for his life (something that he is not known to be good at) for most of every game. That combined with what appears to be a much improved defense (and the fact that he is not that good at being an NFL QB) should limit the need for him to throw as much as everyone thinks he is going to. ICEMAN

Jason, I'll accept your apology about my WR3 after the season! My decision to take Josh Jacobs at 5.04 and James White at 6.09 in a PPR league will be considered genius, not an "unmitigated disaster," as you suggest!!!! We mock what we don't understand. ICEMAN

Consider this wrapped up. ICEMAN

16.09 - DEF - Houston Texans

I agree with Mike. I would even say that I would prefer pick #3, or #4. There is a large drop-off (in my opinion) after these four players. This also puts you in a posistion to grab one of the top 3 TE's as well. if you choose to go that route instead of grabbing a WR. ICEMAN

15.04 - WR Devin Funchess, IND

14.09 - K Steven Gostkowski, NE

We are sorry that you are here as well. ICEMAN
