Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season: Free Agency, Draft Part II

[CDJ]

If they don’t pick a WR here in round 2 just remember the rebuild will not happen overnight

I don’t know why they just don’t take a WR here.

Sure but it’s a WR heavy draft and it’s an area of need… why galaxy brain it.

They’re not the best fits given what they already have (outside of Keon Coleman). They need talent so just pick who they think is BPA

 

[GatorMike]

Patriots are on the clock.

Sounds like a trade is in the works.

N'Keal Harry has left too many scars for me to like wrs like Keon Coleman. Lazy comparison without me really watching him but big, slower wr who don't test well on agility drills feel like one dimensional players at the next level.


Trade down and add some middle round picks. Something like 34 and 180 for 43, 109 and 143 from Atlanta so the Falcons can get DeJean who fits a Raheem Morris defense. Give me Patrick Paul and Jalen McMillan from Day 2.

Coleman is the better athlete, kind of comfortably.

He set the fastest speed in the last 2 years in the gauntlet drill at the combine.

[wintersej]

Ok that’s fine

 

[KrejciMVP]

so chargers wanted McConkey enough to trade up

 

[EverettMike]

No issue with that trade.

Some real good value on the defensive side.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Bill Belichick just had an orgasm on air over the Patriots trading this pick

Draft a rookie QB and do very little in free agency to address weapons/OL and then trade down in the draft.

Ladd McConkey is a good enough weapon for Justin Herbert but not Drake Maye?

 

[CDJ]

Move down 3 picks to move up 27 later? Sure

 

[GatorMike]

According to the Rich Hill Trade Value Chart, the Patriots "win" that trade 195 to 191.

Atlanta just traded up... probably for Spencer Rattler.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

What are the odds 110 pans out v 137? Meh. Guess they don't want a WR.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Weaponize the offense = Full throttle

Weaponize the offense my ass

 

[GatorMike]

What are the odds 110 pans out v 137? Meh.

Analytics would tell you that the there's typically a significant drop off in the odds of a pick making a roster once you get past pick #125 or so.

 

[Mione134]

Not sure where they go

 

[KOZ37]

Not sure where they go

Maybe they trade back again lol

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

McConkey didn't make sense for the Patriots. He projects as a slot guy in the nfl and Douglas looks like a good weapon in there already. Move down 4 spots in the second round to make your early 5th round pick an early 4th rounder is an alright trade. 103 and 110 gives them the ammo to move back up if someone they like is still there

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Should have traded with Atlanta.

 

[EverettMike]

They might have five wide receivers all graded exactly the same and just got value by moving back to a spot that can still grab one.

Even if they just have five players period like that it's a good move.

 

[GatorMike]

Back on the clock at #37.

Why don’t folks like Mitchell? I’m a half assed football fan. He is an X with speed and they need an X.

He has diabetes and is apparently not the easiest to coach
