    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Sure, but is Luck the exception or the norm of a player (and I used this term lightly as Maye is indeed so young) trending in the wrong direction? My point is Maye being a consensus #2 a year ago does not mean he remains consensus #2 because of some bizarro unwritten rule that says “once you’re...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Because his last year was worse than his previous year.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I wonder how the development of AI tools will affect scouting in the near future. Will the position become obsolete in sports? Why ask a human (generally with a low success rate) his/her opinion on who to draft/how to construct your team when you can leverage tools that are built for...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    It makes me happy to see some pushback here on all the “consensus top three” nonsense going around the media. Because I really do feel both Maye and Daniels have waded well into “overrated and not worth top-3 picks” territory. As I’ve stated already in this thread, both are talented, but they...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The biggest concern I have with this draft is many are assuming there’s a huge gap between Daniels/Maye and Penix/Nix/McCarthy and outside of trusting the talking heads in the media, I’m not sure why. I see pros and cons across all of them, the possibility for all of them to flame out, but also...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    While I agree on some of the analysts’ takes on Maye’s horrible footwork (it really is a mess, so if we draft him we have to be sure it’s correctable), I agree more passionately with the “Simms is a clown” crowd. He’s easily my least favorite analyst out there, followed closely by Nick Wright...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I agree he improved, but Diggs has been a stellar safety net for Allen for a few years. It will be interesting to see how effective he is with (what will likely be) lesser talent. Then again, I thought Mahomes would struggle without Hill, and boy was I wrong.

    Aiyuk? Not sure it would work with the Diggs hit to their cap.

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I mentioned during the season that it felt like the Bills’ window was closed or very close to closed. I took a little shit for that. It sure is going to be nice to see who Josh Allen really is moving forward.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    BTW with all of that said I wouldn’t be upset if they drafted Maye. I just prefer trading back IF three 1sts can be had. But if they draft JJ at #3…

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think what gets me is when people say “if we trade out of #3, next year is a horrible draft class for QB so we’re screwed.” It’s as if in August 2023 the vast majority of draft pundits thought anyone except Williams and Maye would be high picks in 2024. Yet now there are 5-6 guys that may go...

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    I remember being in Baltimore opening day in 2004 and seeing him in a restaurant. I was all of 19 years old at the time. At one point I was washing my hands next to him in the restroom and as I’m drying my hands I turned to him and quietly said “hi Larry, I just wanted to say thanks for…” And...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I don’t know if I’d agree he looked good. Servicable, but his completion percentage the first four weeks were: week 1: 64 week 2: 60 week 3: 43 week 4: 75 (only 12 attempts, played less than half the game before getting injured while running) He threw 3 TDs and 1 INT through 3.5 games. He ran...

    MALCOLM GO...to jail

    Came here looking for a pun. Very disappointed at the lack of “Malcolm, d’oh!”

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

    I am in full agreement with every single word in this post.

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

    This is how the front office should be thinking about this draft (if the trades are there). If Nix doesn’t develop the way you hope, you have plenty of currency to move up in 2025 or in 2026, and that rookie QB, at that point, would have young, but experienced, receivers and an experienced...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Yeah. It looks to me that Mayo and Elliot (and ownership) are thinking about giving the rookie QB a redshirt year. One of the Krafts seemingly leaked the “expecting to be patient” stuff (paraphrasing) regarding the rebuild. I take all of this as Elliot is rolling out the “Packer way,” which in...

    3/14 - Suns @ Cs

    Yeah it sure looks like it. I’m actually finding the game entertaining (Tatum is much more of a beast than I realized), but it was surprising to see guys standing back and repeatedly letting dudes take wide open 3’s. It reminds me of NBA All Star games from like 15 years ago.

    3/14 - Suns @ Cs

    I have to admit, I haven’t watched an NBA game in probably 4-5 years. I’m stunned at how little defense I’m watching right now (particularly in the first half). I’m sure I’m not saying anything new, I just didn’t realize how much softer the game had gotten. It seems like >half of everything is...
