    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I would be concerned that a trade would not net the three R1 picks in value that we'd hope/expect. You'd basically be relying on LV or Minn to make that trade. The market would not be huge.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I'm going to tell myself it's good they drew the Heat because there will be no let down. LFG.

    The Krafts

    It's obviously not the worst thing, but I'm not sure I'd put that Kraft's column as a positive. Players have short careers and literally risk their lives to play. Mandatory time commitments to charity would be one thing, but requirements for $ contributions is a bit much for me. Kraft is...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I wonder if some of the Daniels noise is about Minnesota moving up to #2 to draft him. It's been mentioned here and elsewhere that he's the kind of guy you need to build around in specific ways. Minnesota is much more advanced than the other QB deprived teams. That's not a deal that makes...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    He's so good in these answers. Much better than I would have anticipated given that he's never really worked in media. And already significantly less salty than when he was interviewed while coaching. (I realize that was all intentional but it's refreshing to see him unburdened by it.)

    Rank the WRs

    Doesn't he also give some Keenan Allen vibes? I've seen Allen Robinson thrown out there as well. Draft like you've never been hurt!

    The Krafts

    I didn't put this clearly but my general point is that if RKK wants credit he has to also shoulder blame. To ride the success of BB when things are going well and shit on him when they aren't will not endear him to anyone.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I don't think so. PS2 is about to get real expensive and they have Gonzalez (hopefully). Sutton is...OK. Going back to 12 takes us out of the running for the top WR and OT talent. It would take multiple high picks next year too to consider this kind of trade with Denver. I think they'd be...

    The Krafts

    It's all results based. When things were going well the relationship worked. When things go badly all the insecurities and grievances come out. People are human and flawed. But if Kraft thinks he's going to convince the majority of fans that Bill is to blame for things falling off, he's just...

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    There's no real point but it does get people's attention and eyeballs and build some momentum for the actual draft. The NFL publicity machine.

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    None of this is unusual but I have to say it makes Bill's standard "best interests of the team" line make even more sense. If you establish a general principle like that, then you don't need to say much more. Wolf's general principle of "we're open to it" isn't objectionable, but does lead to...

    These teams both look seriously flawed.

    What is next for BB?

    Interesting that he speaks about "fit" given the comments by Wolf and the expected changes to the Pats' rating/grading system.

    The Krafts

    Kraft did, however, have many warm conversations with Aaron Hernandez, so maybe it's his judge of character and trust that's a bit off. Or he just can't appreciate that Bill is almost certainly on the spectrum and doesn't do warm and cuddly and kiss the owner's ass. He just does his job.

    What is next for BB?

    I may be in the minority but I always like Trey Wingo as the point guard on these broadcasts. He'd play it straight and pair well with Bill. Less schtickey than Eisen, and I can't stand McAfee.
