    R2/37 Ja’Lynn Polk WR Washington

    This guy is terrific. Whether he’s an ideal fit for NE remains to be seen but Polk can ball.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Yeah like I said, I wouldn’t have done it but I can at least see what they’re thinking. They must have been completely in love with Penix. I wonder why, then, they signed Cousins to that huge deal if they were going to target Penix in the draft. If they were hedging their bets, that’s one heck...

    This is what it’ll be with Maye and Daniels too. When Maye is in his third year he’ll be as old as Daniels is now.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    I don't think they're planning on waiting that long to put Penix into the starting lineup and jettison Cousins. Someone upthread pointed out that it's not terribly expensive (in terms of cap hit) to let Cousins go after two years. At that point, Penix will be 26 (he's about to turn 24 in a...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    There were a lot of guys last night wearing outfits that made me go....oof. But hey, you're about to become a multi-millionaire, wear whatever suit you want, I guess.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Yeah, I mean, I sure wouldn't have done it if I was Atlanta. Then again, I wouldn't have hired Raheem Morris over Bill Freaking Belichick either. But I can at least see what they're thinking.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    But in their mind, they're not really drafting a "backup QB". They're drafting their QB of the future, a guy they think will be a stud. And maybe they look down the road the next year or two and don't see any QB prospect anywhere close to as good as Penix (in their minds, anyway), and think...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    Maybe their careers turn out similar (I hope not!), but Maye's strengths are like the exact opposite of Mac's. Maye has a cannon (Mac doesn't). Maye throws great off platform (Mac, uh, doesn't). Maye is an elite athlete (Mac isn't).

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    It really is bizarre, Orlovsky's explanation notwithstanding. Cousins is locked in at an enormous price tag for four years. Of course they could view it as a sunk cost, sure, fine, whatever. But if they see Penix as developmental, a guy waiting in the wings after Cousins plays QB for a couple of...

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Mitchell is just interesting. 6'4", 190 lbs (according to his sports-reference page; USA Today has him at 6'2, 205). Big and fast (4.34 in the 40). Totally explosive athlete. But not as much production in college as you'd expect. Lots of 3 catch games this past season, but he had a really nice...

    Mitchell,McConkey and Coleman-the BPA thread

    I think the Pats still could use another elite corner, and wouldn't be stunned if they picked DeJean if he's still there at 34. Stopping all these great WRs is still pretty important. It would give them a really nice group of corners.

    I'll take that under advisement.

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    That's true. For some dumb reason (well, I was driving, that was the reason) I had WEEI on the other day and Jones was talking about the Bruins game 2 loss, and he said that even though Ullmark played well, he's still blaming the loss on the goalie rotation. Sports radio can be soooo dumb.

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    As of now, the Pats could roll out a WR trio of Bourne, Osborn, and Douglas. Definitely not any sort of all-pro group, but I think that's at least a professional quality WR corps. The LT situation is much, much worse, so they probably need that right now. But man I'd love to get a high level WR...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    I'm not remotely "obsessed" with sports radio. It was just my way of saying that there will be lots of criticism out there, but I think the Pats might be wise to do it anyway, despite those chirping on the airwaves.
