I believe bb will draft a center in this draft.
the two best, Ruiz and crushenberry will be gone by the third round, but Hennessy from temple blakitz from Wisconsin should be.
OJ, This is a funny Draft class. The first part of the first round seems like "play now" guys. The second tier seems to extend from the middle of Round one to the top of Round three. After that is a crapshoot and no one exceeds the next guy in value sufficiently.
Still believe that BB dumps his picks to move up as
Plan A. The end of Round three is O.K. but no guarantees. If that is the case he is going QB hunting. The bar is set so low for the Pats now, they might as well dip their feet in. The Fan base might even buy into this move.
Here are the possibilities: He has to wait until the Lions pick before he throws down his cards. If the Phins smell a big move they will offer the 5th pick and 26th pick in the first round to the Lions for the 3rd pick and perhaps a Lions 4th (pick #109) back. The Phins can go two ways. They can then take Tua or wait on the 5th picks and take either Tua if available or Herbert.
We go get the Giants pick at a cost through Judge. It would be a haul of picks for the new Giants regime. But they have their QB. It will cost us plenty but if BB smells franchise actual TB replacement not named Stidham, he might bite.
Why the Giants? Because the Lions pick is too costly at #3. Judge can use a plethora of Draft picks.
You could package #23 in the first and your three 3rd rounders (two were comp picks remember) at 1,123 points. PLUS it might cost you 2021 first round pick (ouch). This gets us to near 2,200 points for the 4th pick in the Draft. If Josh and BB think the TB guy is there this year, take a shot. Josh should have a key input as a possible BB replacement sooner rather than later. He wants to anoint the QB....NOW.
Cousins, first round picks on the Pats are usually tradable fodder so what the hell.
We have enough trade wampum in Rounds 4-7 to move up some if there is a
gotta-have-em guy.
We again should have a load of Comp picks in 2021. The first-rounder loss hurts but does not put us in Draft hell.
Or do we gamble we can get Lawrence in 2021?.....Nyet!
If Tua or Herbert come through that door now was it worth it?
Plan B he trades #23 to get into that 2nd round territory BO is in Fan base trouble in Houston with "0" first round picks.
I would trade #23 for Houston's #40 and #57 and maybe throw in one of our 6ths as the Texans have none in that round.
Thoughts?
