    NFL Draft - General Notes and Buildup

    I bet Thomas Jr goes in the teens, but the rest of this looks pretty good.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    Krafts intervene and overdraft JJM, assign him jersey #13 because he's the continuation of the Michigan Man legacy with the NEP.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    I can literally hear those words coming out of Kraft's mouth. It's frightening. If it's JJM, then the uptick in trade chatter the past few days would also make sense. It may be more palatable for Wolf if they can trade down and still get JJM plus another R2 OT/WR prospect (at least) versus...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I agree. Either get the ridiculous deal or stay put. I think it's much more likely MINN trades 11, 23 and a later round pick in 2025 to LAC to move to pick 5 for JJM. (Another option is to trade all those picks for Herbert. I think LAC would at least listen.)

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I wanted Mac in SF just to see if Shanahan could do anything with him. Maybe that will still happen in 2025. Jax seems like a gap year for him, which is not the worst thing. He needs to go away for a while. I still think he's done as a starter, and he'll be on my shit list forever, but he's...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    What is the case for Daniels? Is there one? At this point this board is fairly unanimous for Maye, but Adam Peters is a sharp guy. If the rumors are right then what is he seeing?

    Rank the WRs

    Thanks, this is really informative. It would be really great to come away with 2-3 of these guys out of this draft. If they go OL in R2 that would probably require some creativity and spending next year's draft capital to move around the board, but I think it's worth it.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Agreed. He'll get smoked in this offense. Poor line play (likely) and very limited weapons, especially at the throws he excels at making.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Tillman time. But really, if the Knicks make the ECF it could be a fun series but they wouldn't worry me much.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Could also be a coach in the NFC East that is blowing smoke. Who knows. I kind of think all of this stuff is BS and gamesmanship.

    Three day out check-in

    If the goal was to merely make the playoffs, then yes, roll with Jacoby, draft OL and WR, and maybe you get to 9-8 or 10-7 and back in with the other dregs of the playoff field. But if the goal is to ultimately compete for another ring, they have to draft a QB, probably subject us to another...

    How do we feel about Matthew Slater announcing his retirement?

    This is great and I think a much better fit for him than ST coordinator or something. Frees him up to do different things. He's probably been doing a version of it the last few years as a player with Bill.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I would be concerned that a trade would not net the three R1 picks in value that we'd hope/expect. You'd basically be relying on LV or Minn to make that trade. The market would not be huge.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I'm going to tell myself it's good they drew the Heat because there will be no let down. LFG.

    The Krafts

    It's obviously not the worst thing, but I'm not sure I'd put that Kraft's column as a positive. Players have short careers and literally risk their lives to play. Mandatory time commitments to charity would be one thing, but requirements for $ contributions is a bit much for me. Kraft is...
