No it's not. DropKick calls everyone a bust.Although people get mad at you for bringing this up a lot, it’s quite alarming.

I do think Brown would have shined here. But would drafting them have brought Brady to OTAs?
I don't think Floyd oversaw drafts. He served as more of a mentor to Caserio on the business side (contracts & cap) of GMing.There’s also the more alarming fact that Floyd Reese oversaw the drafts from 2009-12, which saw them draft almost every star player of the 2010s.

You waaaaaay overestimate Josh's role in making picks.Not true. I call it like it is. I can be a pit bull at times but only when it's the right point. For the record Belichick HAS been good at drafting. In fact I'd put up his draft record against anyone in the league the last 20 years. And nobody finds all-star undrafted guys like him too. But it's FACT that the horrifically bad offensive draft bust picks have happened with the exact same offensive coordinator from 2005-2008 and 2013-now. fact.
It was a sign of where he was at mentally, and that was not a good place.Literally nobody on the planet outside of the team coaching/management should still be silly enough to think Brady attending, or not attending, OTAs was an issue with regards to playing ability.
That's the one way this whole situation makes sense. BB doesn't have to waste his time finding best value. Put the agent to work and Bill can just sign off on the trade.I'm betting that's what happened. Back in the late winter/early spring BB sent some feelers out trying to get a sense for Harry's market and after being offered rocks, he stood down.
BB told the agent/Harry if he could find a deal the team would accept, to go for it.
Ok, if BB got a Shamrock shake out of that deal, he won the trade by a mile.He was just traded to McDonald's for a Filet o Fish, 2 small fries, and a shamrock shake. I think BB should have held out for a Happy Meal toy, but both sides are celebrating the deal.
Watch him start winning Employee of the Week awards all of a sudden. Good for them if they know how to use him.

You think Michel was a horrifically bad draft choice, so there's that...Not true, I don't call everyone a bust don't exaggerate. I call it like it is.

The Patriots need a new offensive coordinator, not one who only looked good with Tom Brady and was a failure at 2 external places without Tom.
Because he also got 1.6 million in CAP space with the shake (since he won't have to cut Harry), so yeah.Ok, if BB got a Shamrock shake out of that deal, he won the trade by a mile.
It's irrelevant to whether or not the team would have been a SB competitor. It's ridiculous to think that missing a few hours of half-practice in June torpedoed an entire season that started off 8-0. Stop with that nonsense.It was a sign of where he was at mentally, and that was not a good place.
If the Pats had said, "Okay, we've got three shiny new WR (rookie) toys," do you think that would have made a difference?
Asking seriously - and I'll add, if it were me in that room the weeks before the 2019 draft, I'd have asked Brady which rookie WRs he wanted, in order, then drafted the highest available with picks 1 and 2. I also would have signed Brady to whatever and however long a contract he wanted way back when. He should never have left New England, and if that meant s a couple of bad years, so be it. "You want to play to 45, Tom? Okay, show me the numbers that gets it done...."
Yes, I would have done that. But then, I'm still traumatized by watching Orr limp around in a Blackhawks jersey.
But that's in the past and I'm still a fan of the team above any player.
You think Michel was a horrifically bad draft choice, so there's that...
BB has a long track record of empowering players to find their trade deals or market. This is nothing new.That's the one way this whole situation makes sense. BB doesn't have to waste his time finding best value. Put the agent to work and Bill can just sign off on the trade.
Yeah, because that's all that I said. You have this grand ability to reduce any argument to the sound bite that suits you. What are you a lawyer or something?It's irrelevant to whether or not the team would have been a SB competitor.

The timing here is bizarre, because nothing truly noteworthy has happened since the Agholor, Bourne, Henry, and Smith additions in mid-March. A high draft pick could have immediately pushed Harry off every roster projection, but instead they were ready to pass on the entire WR draft class until Ernie happened to pick one. None of the backup WR candidates really stood out during open summer practices, which is when the little speedy guys are at an advantage because the defense can't play press coverage.
It wasn't a great look for Harry's name to make the rounds among the aggregator sites this morning in response to Reiss naming him as the Patriot veteran most on the roster bubble, but being mentioned in an ESPN article can't possibly be a big enough deal to make them pull the trigger on a formal trade request...right?

You are the one who pointed to OTAs when the team started 8-0. Brady being in "a bad place" is irrelevant to the discussion about Harry v. other WR possibilities.Yeah, because that's all that I said. You have this grand ability to reduce any argument to the sound bite that suits you. What are you a lawyer or something?
I do think Brown would have shined here. But would drafting them have brought Brady to OTAs?
