Pats front office at the deadline

It'll be awkward when the Pats don't make any trades and guys like Osborn find they're just stuck here. Lol
If they aren’t able to trade him I think they will just release him
 
I'll give him kudos for trading Judon and acquiring Ben Brown under the circumstances.

Resigning Henry, Barmore, Onwenu, Stevenson, Dugger and Peppers were good moves too.

I don't think we can fault Wolf for Pepper's off the field issues.

Chucks was a flat out miss in FA and can't defend that, but he was a low dollar signing and there were some contingencies (albeit less than solid) in place.

For the most part I understand his strategy in the 2024 draft.

Round 1: Maye was a no brainer. Anybody who still thinks we should have passed on Maye at pick 3 is fooling themselves.
  • Round 2: Prioritizing getting Maye a weapon, especially given the depth at WR in the draft was a good idea, Unfortunately Polk has made a significant regression that is counter to what was more or less a consensus on his positives - hands and character. (I know separation is an issue too). Legit to question if OT Paul or Suamatia were the more prudent picks in round 2, but neither one of them has proven to be legit NFL starter caliber as of yet.

  • Round 3: Given the run at OT, I think Wallace was the next best off the board and a worthy pick in round 3. Wallace has a long way to go. May never have the chops for LT and it remains to see if he's an NFL worthy RT. His pass pro needs serious work. Its worth noting though that very few college offensive line players can come into the NFL these days and be solid in year 1. Lack of contact practices in the NFL is delaying development.

  • Round 4: If Robinson doesn't develop this will be disappointing and calls into question Wolf's strategy. We've invested so heavily at the OG (Strange, Sow, Robinson) position with so little in return definitely worth a second guess with a 4th round pick given other positional needs.
Round 4: Baker is a potential WR play maker with upside. Worth a 4th round gamble

Round 6: Dial - not bad being a special teams contributor as a rookie 6th round pick

Round 6: Milton - worth it for preseason entertainment value alone.

Feel free to disagree.
Ben Brown got exposed, he’s not a starter. If Wolf has done anything right on OL acquisition it was Jacobs… a gift on the waiver wire.

Prioritizing a WR in the 2nd was a horrible idea. He’s a rookie QB, get him vets who run professional routes. Osborne was a smart signing, now they want to trade him so we can watch the worst graded WR in the league in Polk.

The rest of the draft and free agency stink, this is why the line stinks. Simple.

Better than Jake Andrews, who can’t even get on the field.
 
I betcha that the Pats will instead try to scoop up some vets who get cut from other teams and are now subject to waivers that otherwise wouldn't have been prior to the deadline.
 
Just like Mayo staring into the void doing absolutely nothing on the sideline on game days, we have Wolf sitting on his hands at Gillette. This franchise is going to ruin Drake Maye.

I was just looking for a blank-stare image to use in a post about Wolf's inaction today. All I could find was pictures of Mayo...
 
all but ignoring OT, Wolf focused on WR.


Took me several minutes to find Polk, he is so far outside the rest of the league.

Also noticed Mingo and Osborn were almost identical on that chart.
