    One Draft Hot-Take

    6 QB's go in the 1st round- Williams, Daniels, Maye, McCarthy, Penix, Nix (And Pats trade back into round 1 to secure a LT)

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    I miss the good old days when I had a source in the Patriots and would find out about who they wanted before the draft began. Too bad he had to go and take a job in Washington.

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    I like that draft a lot. My biggest concern is let's say you do the trade with the Chargers and move back to #5. They jump ARI and take MHJ. What if Arizona doesn't love what's left? They put #4 up for auction and you risk missing out on your guy. With teams like the Giants, Falcons, Vikings and...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Maybe click the link and see who Giardi drafted 2nd...it might help you not go crazy :p For me, I've been beating the drum for the Pats to do something somewhat similar to what Giardi did, except it's to move up from R3 back into R2. Take QB at 3 (Maye/Daniels/McCarthy), the best WR or OT...

    SS possibilities going forward

    . LouBob is the one who's hurt, and it looks like it's going to be 6-8 weeks before he's back (link). The White Sox were already really bad, so I'm not sure this changes their approach all that much. But they do have Nicky Lopez on the roster, who has experience playing SS in the bigs and can...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    What would Carolina drafting Bryce Young (instead of Stroud or Richardson) have to do with the Patriots taking a QB this year? Just because they picked the wrong guy and threw him into a dumpster fire of a situation, the Pats should avoid taking a QB because he too could be a bust? And I don't...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Yes, there will be guys that move up into the 1st round next year. The issue is that the draft pundits all seem to be saying the same thing, the QB class next year isn't strong. Could that change? Sure. Could the Pats be picking #1 overall next year? Not likely, but sure. They could have their...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Ehh, I don't think so. If you like Maye or Daniels, don't get cute and just take the one you want at #3. I doubt the Pats have them viewed as equal prospects and are willing to take whoever falls in their lap at 5. They'll prefer one over the other and at that point it's not worth risking...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    QB at 3 and anything else I'm going to be disappointed. Maye, Daniels, doesn't matter. I'm no QB expert, so I don't really care who it is. And yes, I know that's not the best way to approach drafting a potential franchise QB, but that's where my heart is at. If the Pats trade out, I'll assume...

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    Can we make a rule that says you can't submit a mock draft if you trade out of #3 and still take one of Williams/Maye/Daniels? I know the mocks are awesome when you can trade back into 4-9 and still get Daniels plus a bounty, but that's not happening in real life. Those guys are going 1-3...

    NFL Draft - General Notes and Buildup

    I mean, the only way it "works" is if it's draft night and Drake Maye is on the board at #3 and the Pats absolutely hate him and JJ McCarthy. Not only that, they prefer 11 & 23 & whatever else they could get over drafting what looks like the best WR prospect to come out of college in a while in...

    Offseason rumors

    This is how AJ Preller rolls. He knows how to identify amateur talent and he's not afraid to trade it. Their system definitely took a big hit after trading for Soto and Hader in recent years, but he's done a really good job of restocking the farm system. During the past two years he's brought...

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    It's definitely going to be interesting to see how the Pats handle OT and WR in the draft. The way I've been doing these mocks is Daniels/Maye at #3, then best OT (Suamataia/Morgan, sometimes Guyton) in R2 and best WR in R3 (Legette, R. Wilson, Pearsall). Occasionally, one of the higher ranked...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    I'm going to assume they aren't completely done with all FA options. The tweet said the Pats will "mainly" turn their attention to the draft. They took a swing at the top guy on the free agent market and missed, so they're probably going to take a step back and look for value/fit instead of...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    I was just in the middle of making a post when this news dropped highlighting all of the reasons he wouldn't want to leave JAX (weather, taxes, from FL, good QB/roster, familiarity with offense) and it had me wondering how much the Pats would have to overpay to get him to leave that situation. I...

  18. ElcaballitoMVP

    Calvin Ridley, you in?

    I guess it depends. If the plan is to draft a Daniels/Maye/McCarthy and you aren't planning on playing them in year 1, I'd pass on Ridley and look for a younger/longer-term option over the next year. If you're going to hand the job over to the rookie right away or after a month or two, I'd...
