    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Man, seeing these poll results and knowing how inaccurate the general public is on this stuff...I can already envision looking back on this thread in 5 years and shaking my head...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Anyone worried about Daniels being too skinny needs to go back and look at all the concerns people raised about Smith. "Nobody under X body fat", "Nobody under X weight"...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Obviously they want to cross the T's and dot the I's so its probably nothing, but a small part of me wonders if they just received that Godfather offer for their pick. Not sure why they waste their time after clearly not prioritizing him along with the other QBs in his tier.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    This is the thing Im torn on. I felt like Maye was the no brainer #2 pick until about a month ago. I try not to let the draft frenzy recency bias affect me too much, but the most recent tweets about Washington pretty much settling on Daniels gives me pause. Im still going to guess Maye goes...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    There's some very real things that could pop up in the near future that could make traditional scouting obsolete. For example, I saw a video recently where AI learned human brain wave patterns. People were then asked to imagine specific things - a giraffe walking through the Serengeti - and the...

    This is basically what the draft outlook was 2 months ago, then the circus happened. I think it's an accurate prediction.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I dunno man. He's been a highly sout after prospect since he was 16 and went to a top D1 program. I don't think there's any magic juice an NFL training program is going to give him. Not to mention big muscles doesn't equal arm strength (at least the football throwing kind).

    While Id much prefer a more well rounded QB, in today's world of RPO offenses, teams can still score plenty of points with a QB who has a limited ability to read the field.

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    So good. This core is a fucking wagon. You keep it around for whatever it costs and ride it as long as you can. Awesome awesome awesome job not letting him get to free agency.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The media circuit is littered with former NFL scouts who weren't good at their job. I'm not sure why you would listen to someone like Daniel Kelly just because he scouted poorly in the NFL for a few years. I mean, there's a lot of advanced analytics/scout guys who never touched a football that...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    See, this is my issue with the "trade back and draft a QB later" idea. It's easy to look at these guys as 'prospects' and not actual people. Trading back to take a slightly worse QB prospect while gaining picks makes sense in a vacuum, but how often do these second tier prospects actually work...

    Dugger WITH AN E is back With the Pats (4 years 58M)

    Ok, but whats the point? Duggers coverage numbers were "fine" in his first 3 seasons, but he also played in the box at a more than 5-1 ratio. When he was asked to simply play coverage 40% of his snaps, he became one of the worst coverage safeties in the NFL. If your point is that he's better...

    Dugger WITH AN E is back With the Pats (4 years 58M)

    Where did you find this data? The free safety is generally responsible for larger field coverage. This year, Dugger lined up as a deep safety or in the slot on 48% of his snaps. Peppers was at deep safety or in the slot on 59% of his snaps. He also had some of the worst rates in the league for...

    Dugger WITH AN E is back With the Pats (4 years 58M)

    Misread his value, misread the market, misuse of the tag, misuse of the cap. I like Dugger, but (without seeing the details) this money could have served the team better in a million other ways.
