So will the media be locked out in knowing who's getting the Starters reps??

Fashanu looks great, sure - but there are several very good OT prospects coming out.

This would irk me, a lot. Harrison Jr. is top-top-drawer. if the Pats wound up with the #1 pick and took him, I wouldn't complain at all.

I am super curious if Mayo would keep Steve on if Bill leaves... or if Bill would want to take Steve with him. Bill might think it's better for Steve's long-term career to work apart from his dad and establish himself if Mayo will keep him on. Steve is a weird dude but Mayo and him seem to have an OK thing going. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it if Mayo was the HC.

I wouldn't only throw my TV's out the window but would also jump if we pass on Harrison for a Left Tackle.

Guess BB is sticking it to somebody before he leaves this won't end well here.

It's the bye week practice I wouldn't read too much into it.

Or maybe the benching happened because BB didn't like what he saw from his QB's body language and demeanour after the pick. That's a reason to shut it down. I'll be surprised if he starts the next one, I think he should sit and cool off a bit and come back fresh.

IMHO Harrison is the best player in the draft by a considerable margin. If Arizona winds up picking 1st I expect them to take him (I think they are keeping Murray) and if Chicago (from Carolina) goes 2nd then it obviously comes down to where they are with Fields. I could see them keeping Fields and taking Harrison if he is there or if he isn’t then trading the pick for someone to take Caleb Williams or taking Alt or Fashanu (to give them “bookend” 1st round OTs).

Of what I’ve seen so far I think Alt is the better prospect compared to Fashanu. Fashanu may have more upside than Alt but I think he is lacking in strength, exactly what the Pats can’t have next to Strange who is the same way. If the Pats were picking 3rd and Harrison and Williams are gone I’d go with Alt over Maye or anyone else.

I actually watched all 3:49 minutes. Pretty funny.

Hold the Mayo please!!!

Yes. I would think Kraft would like to tank and Bill does not.
If Zappe or Grier starts against the Giants...I think this absolutely means Bill is leaving at end of season.

Pretty telling comments. He's plugged in.

I agree with you about Harrison.
However drafting a WR at 3 is very very high for a position where injuries are so common.
I think if they have a top 5 pick you either go QB or LT.
Pats need a 10 year plug and play choice that will anchor their offense for a decade.
