These two dudes just be yappin especially baldy
There was also a case that the pats could have traded down 3 spots with the giants and they would have gotten the 6th pick and next years first. That next years giants pick could easily be another top 5 pick given how trash the giants are
So you want the Patriots to hold they can get a Qb next year.. when the QB class is terrible next year? Also Drake Maye would have been the number one pick in almost any other draft class especially based on his redshirt freshman year tape.. In my opinion
Elliot Wolfe came from the Packers, I'm going to trust he knows a thing or 2 about WRs and project Olineman. Bourne is solid, Osborn is solid, Hunter Henry is nice, Rhamondre and Gibson can both catch, and the slot WR Pop Douglas is actually very good he just didn't play until like week 4 and also missed a few games. If just 1 of Jay'Lin Polk or Javon Baker hit, then they'll have a nice core. Not elite, nothing flashy, but a bunch of guys who can produce and have a monster game any given Sunday
This is a horrible take .. How do these guys make money saying such stupid things ?
Im not sure how anyone could think trading out of a qb when you need one, and there is a qb with Mayes potential there. The only way this draft matters is if you hit on qb. Getting 2 extra picks but no qb doesn’t help. And thinking they just grab one next year negates any extra draft capital you got and it the same as saving the 2 pointer for the very end of the game.
Vikings wanted mid round pick swaps on top of the 3rd pick…trading down from 3 to 11 does not mean they are getting three 1st round picks.They are downgrading their own pick all the way outside of the top 10 and only getting an additional 1st (23ovr) with a future 1st. In that context when the team desperately needed a qb thats a trash offer, esp for someone with mayes upside
I think people are really underestimating what Kendrick bourne can do when healthy.
I honestly believe that Jackbh Brissett should start this year over Maye. Brissett is a solid vet and Maye could probably use a year to learn. He has a lot of raw ability, but he's missing some fundamentals that'll he should learn before being thrown out there to fail.
Jacoby is starting the season at QB1
QB is always the most important part of a rebuild! Specially when there's a special talent like maye! I don't know if he'll be a good nfl player but the guy has all the tools to be special! So yea you take him
There are reports that the Vikings wanted Pick 3 and 2 middle round picks for their 3 First rounders
I don’t understand the “they should’ve traded down” take. Maye may or may not(ha) be a top QB down the road, but you have to take the shot. Without a QB, your rebuild is already dead. Maye is(as of now) leaps and bounds better than any QB coming out next year, if you have a shot at a potential stud, you take it, no questions asked. Trading back would be an idiotic move
This is not intelligent analysis.
I will love what we did IF we sit Maye 95% of the season, spend all the cap next offseason, draft a tackle in the first round next year, and be extremely aggressive and maybe trade multiple firsts for a guarenteed #1 WR. Not only should Maye sit because of the talent around him but also for the guy calling the plays. If AVP's system isn't good, then maybe looking for a new OC next offseason should be on the table.
Drake maye went top 3 this year. He’s Huge and he has all the talent in the world. Strong arm and mobile call him a tanker truck. I don’t like the talk about sitting him I think he should start now but I understand the patriots oline isnt solid. But give him that exp.
So happy the pat's didn't play games at qb.
How many picks would it have taken to trade TB12? I am NOT saying Maye is Brady, my point is Maye is the franchise QB, for me it would have taken 5 1sts or 4 and a guy like Justin Jefferson….
Really like the players they came out with in the draft. One or two reaches but there was plenty of sound logic to the picks & trades and plenty of great value picks too.
The receivers they chose had clean injury histories, extremely qb friendly (particularly Maye), and fit the two needs to get by and develop for this year. Baker was huge value at his spot.
Overall they added high character, motivated and healthy players that will provide a foundation to build on.
Drafting the franchise QB should always take prioirty over getting picks. This is is the first draft where i've heard this ridiculous narrative about passing on a QB because your roster isn't ready for one. No one made this argument when the Bengals and Jaguars drafted Burrow and Lawrence even though their rosters were terrible.
