Patriots/NFL Off Season 2021 - Draft Begins Thursday, April 29

[LouJersey]

Historically, chris simms has been a qb savant over the last 5 or 6 drafts. It's insane.

i guess I remember him being super high on Drew Lock it jades me haha

 

[CDJ]

Chris Simms can get his Trey Lance slander out of my kitchen, I will literally fight him in public if I see him for putting Kellen Mond ahead of him

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

If I’m running the team. I acquire Jimmy G. I draft Kellen Mond. Stidham goes bye bye and Newton is the backup. Cam is your Jimmy G protection if he gets hurt. I even see Cam getting into games for plays. Get crazy with it Josh. Most importantly I think Cam would be a great mentor for Mond. Stick Kellen to his hip. Kellen fits the mold of the Parcells thinking of college quarterbacks. This article explains.

NFL / pat fans...

A long time Dolphin fan who hasn't watched the NFL for years because the disgrace the dolphins became. Any chance I become a fan again? Reading some positives however not sure I should kickstart my NFL addiction of past.

Truly wish I were a Pats fan. Unreal!

No. Real fans don’t give up on their team, no matter how bad it gets.

I haven't given up on them just couldn't tolerate watching them...nobody in their right mind could tolerate watching the dolphins last 20 years.

You just asked if you can become a fan again.

That tells me you’re not a fan at the moment. So if you’re not a fan because they’ve sucked for that long but you’re now going to jump back on because they’re showing positives, then you’re not a true fan. More of a pink hat.

So no, I don’t think you can become a fan again.

Right. Thanks for the insight.

Guess you can throw Parcells QB drafting rules out the window! Brady does not fit his drafting model.
Mond will be available after the first round. Personally, if Bill wants a QB, I trade up to get #7 if Lance or Fields is still around.
I have never been a fan of carrying 3 QB's.

Unless youre absolutely certain you can get the guy you want by movinf up and youre absolutely certain the QB youre drafting is the next great QB, then you have to be careful. Its going to cost a lot to move up and if you miss on pick, its going to set the franchise back. All you need to do is look at the Jets for what can go wrong when you continually butcher trying to draft a QB

We have the assets to make the move, add Gilmore and or Michel with our first rounder and a 2022 first should do it.
I agree you have to be 100% your guy is there to pick.
I watched Lance during his pre draft workout and was really impressed, looked like Josh Allen with his ability to throw on the run.
Has an incredible arm.

I disagree. Sports organizations don’t deserve unconditional support especially if they are running a clown show endlessly. If you do then it goes from being a love of a certain form of entertainment to potentially being an addiction. That may not be good psychologically because of a rich owner not hiring the best personnel. Sometimes it’s best for all to take a break from incompetence and move on for a while.

i dont think any real fans supported jeffery loria in mtl as he sabotaged that team

Wow, you are right. I had to read about him as I had no idea what you were talking about. Talk about destroying something good. The Expos were a pretty good team for years.

 

[Bruinaura]

That looks like something Chara would do

I think you're completely overvauling Gilmore and Michel, I dont think that's enough to move up. The deal would have to be more draft picks, that aside, even if you move up, the highest you can move up to is 4, so you would have the 4th choice out of the 5 QBs available because the 3 teams ahead of you are taking QBs. I dont think its worth it. Maybe if you had 2nd or 3rd choice of the QBs, but 4th scares me

That Henry workout is absurd

i would get hurt attempting

@Smitty93 It's not that I think BB sucks. I give him plenty of credit for being a tremendous coach, I really do. I just happen to believe that while he's a great coach, he's a mediocre GM at best and his failures as the GM have impacted this team in a very negative way with regards to the skill positions.

This is a little much, eh? He only rebuilt the Pats several times over and into a continuous dynasty/powerhouse for 20 years. Let’s not forget he brought in 20 new players through free agency and the draft when he took over much like he is doing this year. Alot of those 1999-2000 free agents became part of the core that won the first 3 SBs. The only criticism he can possibly take is he doesn’t have the greatest track record with 1st round picks the last few years.

Letting Brady go? For me, BFD. Brady didn’t do much to win last year’s SB. Tampa’s defense won that game. Brady did the minimum to win that game. If the Chief's offense didn’t get swamped by that outstanding D, Brady would have walked out of there with his head hanging low. Brady should have his name with an asterisk next to it....*walked into perfect situation and everyone else carried me* How’s that for a hot take?

Michael Lombardi believes Mac Jones is going to be the pick at #3

Michael Lombardi believes Mac Jones is going to be the pick at #3

a lot of smoke about that at this point

that’s wild to me but the miners probably want the most NFL-ready prospect

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

If Fields is going to be there at #4 Bill has to trade up.

In which round?

 

[Smitty93]

If Fields is going to be there at #4 Bill has to trade up.

Lots of talk about the Falcons taking a QB at #4 (Peter King and Daniel Jeremiah).

Things get really interesting after that. Cincinnati basically never trades, so we can probably lock them in at #5. Miami decided to trade up to #6. Maybe they trade down, but that kind of seems unlikely now, especially since I think they'd only consider dropping a spot or two.

Detroit is at #7. If I were them, I'd probably draft a QB, but they've got a bunch of holes, so a trade down would make sense for them. I think there's a good chance all 5 top QB prospects are gone by #7.
