What if a guy like Love or Herbert falls to them, or they draft a Jake Fromm in the first few rounds and decide to just roll with that and possibly a Free Agent addition. If they could get a Newton or Winston on the cheap (if no one else signs them) I could see them going that route,

I see Fromm as about what they have in Stidham, who has had the benefit of a year under Tom in that system. 

A number of folks have said that they don't see Winston or Newton as fits for NE, and I agree with them.  Team fit is everything to that team.  Although everyone will talk playoff record and numerous other issues with Dalton, I think he fits them very well.  He just has to be willing to renegotiate his deal and the Pats need to clear some cap space. 

Dalton and WJIII to the Pats for Gilmore would put the Pats about $7 million over the cap but if Dalton were willing to negotiate a new deal...

Who knows.  But it will sure be interesting to see what the Pats will be doing on draft day.  I would be shocked if they went with Stidham, Newton, or Winston.
