Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

Do we really think Bill is going to lose to NJY in his last potential game as HC. I don't think NYJ are going to show up, snow game and they have their own significant draft ramifications in play with a win. Ownership already said no changes to the FO/Coaching which is almost an implicit suggestion to tank at this time. I'm sure Rodgers is lobbying for them to tank and grab a top WR or T in the draft. Jets are locked into no worse than 8th with a L, a W and they could end up in 12th.
I didn't think Brady's last pass for NE would be a pick 6 in a home playoff loss either.
Check the draft pick thread. It’s laid out. Even if the Pats win while all of the other teams lose (Wash Arizona NYG), they still have a great shot at 4 vs 5
Edit lol that’s this thread.

Yeah I played around with the simulator, seems like an 80% or so chance they still pick 4th with a win. Only team that has picked lower is NYG and most scenarios they tie in SOS which gives NE 4th via H2H tiebreaker. Only once did NYG slip into 4th, NE 5th but I couldn't decipher what the key games were.
That was probably assuming the Ravens would win. They need two of Texans/GB/Raiders to finish ahead of the Giants.
Honestly the league wouldn't exist, feel like the 30 years of consecutive Cleveland Browns titles would be have broken it
2 is very possible still, coning into the week the easiest way was a loss, Saints loss Pit loss and INd loss.
With PIT winning but IND losing the path to #2 is now...
Lose to the Jets, NO loss and either of LV/GB loses.
Wait, so if the Pats lose, we want GB/Raiders to LOSE (to help with Washington tiebreak)
but if the Pats win, we want GB/Raiders to WIN (to help with NYG tiebreak)?

This article from patriots.com says that the Pats could finish as low as 7th in draft order. I thought that we ruled out 6 and 7. Is the article wrong?

"As for their first-round draft pick, the Patriots could finish as high as second overall or as low as seventh overall, depending on results around the league. The Patriots pick will likely fall in the 3-5 range. But we won't know for sure until the conclusion of the Sunday slate, with the Bills and Dolphins playing for the AFC East title in Miami on Sunday night – we'll keep you updated."

Wow, guess I won't be trusting patriots.com going forward. What an egregious mistake. They have one job . . .
NM ties thing was last week, I don't think even with ties they can drop to 7th
If Washington wins and the Patriots hang on for the loss, it's #2
If Washington loses and Pats lose, it's #3
It is if Pats lose, WAS wins. If they both win/lose, maybe they could be tied in SOS?

edit - actually, I guess they can’t end up “+1 game”.
End Week 18 Sun early games
4-12 WAS - vs. DAL 4:25p Sun
4-13 NE
If WAS wins, NE will have the #2 pick. If WAS loses, NE will have the #3 pick. ARI's result has no bearing.

Definitely takes some of the stress off. Now they just need to get it right.
There’s three great QB prospects. They might be able to pick their preference.
Only if NE wants to give up a ransom to move up 2 spots. Caleb will almost certainly go #1 just depends on who picks there.
I don’t think so, because I think they’ll covet MHJ if they keep Fields and nobody else can give them that.
I can't wait to fire Bill give up or first next year in a trade with Chicago, have the defense regress and lose a top five pick in the 25 draft.
If it requires the 3 and a first next year, probably a no. But you need a QB, and if Williams turns into a top 10 QB, you deal with some regression on D if need be.
After the LSU bowl game, Daniels would be in my top 3. The other being MHJ.
I really hope not. There's so much smoke around him at this point I'm all set with him. He's the most talented and will go #1 but I'd rather either of the other two.
I haven’t seen much of Daniels this year. Does anyone have anything they could point me to where he’s repeatedly connecting on outs/slants/check downs, etc (intermediate and short throws)? All of his YouTube reels are bombs or him outrunning the defense. He’s definitely a human highlight reel, just curious as to how complete of a quarterback he is.
The idiot kicker probably helped more than hurt the tank throughout the year. Made the Denver kick, missed the Giants kick, kick against Indy, etc.
