Slightly OT:

 
I said AJ Dillon and Antonio Gibson combined would be 7-8 mil a year. No brainer. Add in a mid to late Rd pick and the floor is a dam good backfield
 
Good Lord. Patriots wire(USA today) just posted a mock draft where the patriots get Justin fields and this is what they give up
2024 3rd and 5th AND 2025 2nd and 5th!
I **** you not.
If I'm the boss that Jack ass gets fired immediately. At the very least the mock draft duties is going to someone else, that person can get coffee and mop the floor

I’m guessing that was a mock from Chad Reuter, and you are right, it is batshit crazy.
 
Edit: Depends on the money. Elite, but has been oft-injured lately. If healthy, would immediately help solidify the OL protection for the young rookie/FA QB.

I don't think so.

He wants to play for a top QB.

Nice Saturday breakfast of fried roasted red peppers , crisp bacon and over easy eggs cooked together and layered on top of buttered oatmeal toast with thin slices of colby cheese.....and then a light dolop of thousand island dressing. Plus grapec-ranberry juice and a cup of hot tea. OK now I am ready to do battle.


Cousin, So what your saying is Evans believes Mayfield is a top QB if not elite? He should be a pretty good judge playng with TB12.
Some of my other Cousins on this forum would beg to differ.
I, on the other hand feel he is a top 15-17 QB and ascending.

Here is the QB predictions for 2024 by Zimmerman.. Interesting

Arizona Cardinals- Kyler Murray


Baltimore Ravens- Lamar Jackson


Buffalo Bills- Josh Allen


Carolina Panthers- Bryce Young


Chicago Bears- Caleb Williams



Plenty of teams call up Ryan Poles to see if they can grab the number one spot, but in the end, Poles decides Williams’ talents are too special to pass up.


Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow


Cleveland Browns- Deshaun Watson


Dallas Cowboys- Dak Prescott


Denver Broncos- JJ McCarthy


Sean Payton decides to work on developing his next quarterback, and he snags McCarthy with the 12th pick.


Detroit Lions- Jared Goff


The question is, what kind of contract extension do the Lions offer Goff this offseason, who has just one year remaining on his contract?


Green Bay Packers- Jordan Love


Love is going to be in Green Bay for the next decade, and he’s going to get a contract extension north of $45 million a year, perhaps even north of $50, this offseason.


Houston Texans- C.J. Stroud


Indianapolis Colts- Anthony Richardson


Jacksonville Jaguars- Trevor Lawrence


Kansas City Chiefs
- Patrick Mahomes


Las Vegas Raiders- Justin Field


The Raiders decide to make the move for Fields. Whoever ends up running the offense will think he can move Fields around in the pocket, roll him out, and focus on him throwing the ball deep. The Raiders trade their 2024 2nd-round pick and a 2025 4th-round pick.


Los Angeles Chargers- Justin Herbert

Greg Roman with Justin Herbert? Really, Jim?

Los Angeles Rams- Matthew Stafford


Miami Dolphins- Tua Tagovailoa


Minnesota Vikings- Kirk Cousins


Cousins pokes around in free agency but decides that he wants to stay in Minnesota to finish his career.


New England Patriots- Jayden Daniels


The Daniels QB2 train is real, but in the end, he’s the third QB taken and the draft matches the 2021 draft with 3 QBs taken with the top 3 pics.


New Orleans Saints- Derek Carr


Although don’t be surprised if there’s a developmental QB behind him


New York Giants- Daniel Jones/Bo Nix


The Giants draft Jones with Nix developing behind him, but it doesn’t last the season, and Nix takes over in October. They draft Nix with their second-round pick.


New York Jets- Aaron Rodgers

Philadelphia Eagles- Jalen Hurts


Pittsburgh Steelers- Ryan Tannehill/ Michael Penix


The Steelers are ready to move on from Kenny Pickett. They contemplate trading for Fields but, in the end, decide to go the route of the veteran Tannehill and the rookie in Penix with the 20th pick.



San Francisco 49ers- Brock Purdy


Seattle Seahawks- Geno Smith


Another situation where the Seahawks could try to grab a developmental QB behind Smith.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Baker Mayfield


Mayfield doesn’t even make it to free agency. He likes the addition of Liam Coen as his offensive coordinator and sides a multiyear extension prior to the start of free agency.


Tennessee Titans- Will Levis


The Titans invested a second-round pick in Levis and want to see what they have in him this year before making any major decisions at quarterback.


Washington Commanders- Drake Maye


The Commanders would love to get the hometown kid in Caleb Williams but the Bears aren’t budging, they have hours of debate between Daniels and Maye but in the end, they decide to draft Maye and keep Sam Howell as their QB2.
If you are better than 15 QB (at this time) in the NFL and have brought your Team to the Playoffs you ain't too shabby. You threw for over 4,000 yards , had 28TD's and a 94.6 QB rating on a mediocre Team, that ain't too shabby and only 28 years young.
So the formula with Mayfield is to build around him. Sign his buddy Evans. Pick MHJ. Draft OL in the next couple picks, resign Big Mike and Henry, maybe Jonah Williams and Ridley in FA........then you have a three year plan that has a reasonable chance to make the playoffs pending injury and luck...........OR ......we can Draft "a box of chocolates" QB at pick #3 and hope for the best in say.......2026? Nice.

I have a hunch it's gonna be another DT
Chris jones, Christian Wilkins, Justin madubuik

I'd lean toward the latter 2 due to the money.
If this does happen I see the pats trading godchaux. He would save 8 mil

More of an attack style D
Baremore with 1 of these guys on the inside with judon wise and keion white on the outside
Pats can probably get away with just rushing 4

He's 33 isn't he? Not saying he's the answer but if he's willing to take 2-3 years this team could do a hell of a lot worse. Health permitting of course.
Love the player, but he hasn’t been healthy in about 3-4 years.
