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

    He can make all the throws. Great arm but can throw with touch, in or out of the pocket. He’s big. He is a great athlete. He apparently has a tremendous work ethic. Sign me up.

    2024 NFL Draft NO SPOILERS MAYE DAY NO SPOILERS

    LOL what? Seems like a normal guy. I liked Kiper’s comments that he has all the talent in the world and a work ethic second to none.

    Put Your Exasperated Guy Takes Here

    We just had this conversation after game 1 and I thought Bam scored pretty easily in the paint. The responses to me were that the Cs had a great strategy of letting Bam try to get his, but close out on the shooters. So game 2 what do the Celtics do? Not close out on the shooters. Why the change...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    Yoshida's ops+ is 102, a tick above average. His career ops+ is 109, decently above average. He's a pretty decent hitter. He can't field, but you don't just jettison a guy like this unless you're getting something pretty decent in return.

    Put Your Exasperated Guy Takes Here

    UConn could have used NBA refs given how many times Bam acts like he's a guard pulling on a sweep on those screens. Good lord.

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

    Two mocks - one keeping #3 and the other trading it away. First, the trade away: And now the one where I keep #3 and draft Maye. I prefer Maye over Daniels, but I think I like the first draft overall better.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Yeah, then you're stuck with Jones and Jacoby as your QB, or you trade back again and get Penix, or you try for your future QB next year and use #6 to draft Alt or Nabers or whomever. No doubt there's risk involved in all these potential moves.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Last year they rotated during the season and then went with Ullmark in the playoffs and it was a catastrophe, but they felt boxed in, I guess. This year they're going with the rotation in the playoffs too. They're up 2-1 (Swayman with two wins and Ullmark played well in the 3-2 loss). Seems like...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Hmmm interesting. Giants give Pats: #6, #47, 2025 1st, and Daniel Jones (Pats absorb his 2024 contract, freeing up $36m for the Giants) Pats give Giants: #3 Giants draft #3 Maye Pats draft #6 McCarthy, #34 WR, #47 OL, #68 OL/WR, plus get NY's first rounder in 2025 and have Daniel Jones to...

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

    I'm getting antsy for tonight. Mostly for the Pats, of course, but also hoping my guy Christian Haynes of UConn somehow sneaks into the first round. As of now, most projections have him in the top like 35-40 guys, most likely high second round, but it would be life-changing for him to be a late...
