Obviously his clock is ticking, but I think he'll play more than two more seasons. This is too early and too high unless Brady is almost done. Then I'll have something else to be pissed about.
No, not equally. This was the highest pick and therefore had the best players passed up. This pick is going to help the team win games less than a lot of picks made after it.soxfan121 said:
It's going to be completely fair to compare Garoppolo to all the second and third rounds picks after drafted after him. Chances it looks good have to be low.
Just so everyone's aware, there's a new thread for the Garoppolo discussion. Poll included.
If a mod can move the mountains of posts from here to there, that'd be great. (Nip's request).

I had a long, long post detailing everything I think was wrong with the pick and I just deleted it. It's not worth it. Anyone who follows college football should be able to know it was bad as they watch immediate impact players get picked one after another while we sit around with our thumbs in our ass. The Pats are SO DAMNED CLOSE to winning a Super Bowl right now, and this pick did nothing, not one thing to help in that regard. If Tom Brady gets hurt and JG plays a game this year, the Pats aren't winning shit. If he gets hurt and JG plays next year, the Pats aren't winning shit then either. Had they filled a couple of the holes that they needed to fill and caught lightning in a bottle, they could win the Super Bowl. That's the bothersome part.
Man, normally I love BB's trolling. Fucking love it. It's one of my favorite things about him having him as our coach. I've questioned maybe 2 moves since he got here, but this one hurts today.

I don't get the love for Nix, he didn't dominate in college, he has huge weight and conditioning issues, injury issues last year and into the spring.
Admittedly I think I only saw him play 4 or 5 games this year but he seemed to lose his feet easily and was SLOW in chasing down runners, I wonder if he's a good enough athlete for the next level.
Not all that shocked he continues to drop.

That's a door, not a window. I hope you don't have this same sort of confusion of openings in regard to C-sections.soxfan121 said:
Remember when the pats were the team wheeling and dealing all over draft boards? That was fun. Watching San Fran move around is making me sad.
If Garoppolo isn't Aaron Rodgers, it seems early to prepare for 2018. And it hurts to have been so close to Ealy.
The 49ers came into this draft with a million picks they almost had to move around with deals. They almost couldn't use them all.( . ) ( . ) and (_!_) said:

Patriots source explained on Garoppolo, they need to find Brady’s replacement at some point. He’ll be 40 during Jimmy G’s deal. Is this it?

In a lot of ways this discussion is similar to the GFIN threads, where I sometimes wonder whether people who purport to be Pats fans have paid any attention over the last decade or so. Kraft and BB are not ready for this run to be over when Brady is eventually done. Is this new guy the heir apparent? I have no fucking clue. But I also have no issue with them drafting QB early if they think he might be the guy. They have a 36 year old starter and a backup in the last year of his deal who won't be back. QB makes a ton of sense if you are looking long term versus 1-2 year window.
I know. The miners are kind of taking it to an extreme this year but it still makes me miss the years when the pats had ammo to wheel and deal. It was fun times.Rough Carrigan said:

And for those not paying attention, turn on the Sox game now. Even if you are taping it.

I don't think it matters if he's good or not. Good QBs are taken almost every year. It doesn't help now, and he may never start a game. That's the problem. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brady played through Graoppolo's contract, or if a great positional player was drafted just after him.
Jurrell Casey and Julius Thomas were drafted just after Mallett. How'd that work out?

Why? What's so special about what's going on in that game? Is it something interesting or rare?
Dude, you are on IE and earlier you wrote the words "Marshall Faulk just made a good point". -2Deathofthebambino said:
The most generous take on the Garoppolo pick is that Bill is planning to burn high picks on QBs over the next few years to increase the odds of getting a legit Brady heir. Unless, of course, they hit with Garoppolo.
At some point in the near future TB is gonna hit the wall, like most late 30 athletes do. Even Jetes got old and fell apart after a strong year in 2012. I got no problem being proactive on this front drafting a possible successor to TB. Whether JG is the right guy is another question.DrewDawg said:
So sick of this stuff. Wouldn't not making them fight in pointless wars be a good way to honor them?
Athens, Georgia? The other option is Mike Mills' garage.Dollar said:
Aaron Murray is still on the board, just waiting for BB's call.
By the way, who watches the draft in a Denny's?
Deathofthebambino said:
I agree with you on the pick itself----there's legit players who could help now out there. I realize Pats are always thinking about the long-term, but I'd have needed to see a huge value in order to like a QB pick in the second today.
