    2024 NFL Draft NO SPOILERS MAYE DAY NO SPOILERS

    Not sure whether Penix or Nabers are stranger picks for their teams, and I like both players. They should test the CO detectors in Atlanta's draft room.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    If I'm Maye, I want people watching my ass as much as someone who will get open. If there's a legit tackle and a guy like Corley, that's something to work with.

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    Complete fabrication is a possibility. Eyeballs stave off unemployment.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    Pats trade back into the first round by giving up future picks and not only get the QBOTF but also bookend starting tackles.

    Chase Meidroth

    Been a fan of this kid for a while. Some of the older or underhyped guys who can't stop being productive are super fun to watch. Glad to see him hitting the ground running again this year.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    We are aligned. I give Luka shit because I think that dropping a couple of percent of body fat and expending some non-zero effort on defense would elevate his prospects of winning basketball games and can't fathom why someone wouldn't want to do that. Look at Lebron's physique at his age...

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    I had "73 wins or less" in the pre-season poll, and I'm starting to think that I went too high.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Yeah he's not going to be able to guard any of those guys. Good defending PGs struggle defending those guys credibly. I just mean if he is serious about maintaining an effort level at that end like he did in this game, to me he suddenly becomes a real problem. A guy who can make offense like...

    Yeah a Luka who plays even net neutral defense is in the conversation for best player on earth. Maybe that guy is the conversation.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Regarding runs, I'm inclined to go with the flow on this as well, rather than trading up. It would be awesome to check all of the boxes in rounds 1-3, but the team has so many holes on offense that whatever guy we get at 103 is probably going to play. If there's a run on either WR or OT, then...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Yup and yup. If we stay at 3 and draft the QBOTF, and there's a huge run on OTs before 34, maybe all that's left is developmental guys. That would suck but is possible. I'm going to continue to wishcast that the demand on OT and WR in deep drafts for both is somewhat constant and that we're...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This reminds me of the stellar work that Philly did on the main page on the hit rate on MLB first rounders vs. all of the other draft slots. IIRC, he used bWAR or fWAR. It was staggering. You raise a good point about WR hit rates being more spread out than the OT one (and everyone knows the...

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

    Williams/Maye gone at 3, so I accepted a trade down to 7 and the Giants miraculously took JJM (I was expecting to trade down again and load up on next year). Dropping from 3 to 7 got me 38 and my second tackle and still got an X and possible difference makers at TE and RB in the 3rd and 4th...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Probably an example where internet consensus is pretty accurate. Unlike meniscus injuries, TJ, rotator cuff, etc, bones are bones. More or less any broken bone you have, doc is going to tell you 6-8 weeks (assuming the broken parts still touch). Ribs are weird because they never stop moving...

    If the draft turns out this way, a lot of men in New England will need to see their doctors four hours later
