Wolf has made worse GM decisions than post Brady BB

[Ian]

How does drafting a QB at 3 when you need a qb go against everything he has ever expressed? When has he said QBs don’t matter?

I don’t know who he would have taken, I can’t read his mind. You are the one trying to do that. The only point in guessing at that is to try to create a positive spin on Wolf taking the guy everyone knew he should in order to try to cover up that every other thing he has done has been awful. “Yeah if we kept belichick we wouldn’t have Maye” just isn’t being serious.

I'm assuming he wouldn't have taken him. You're arguing why he would have - which means you think he might have. Which is fine. I don't think he would have. I'll take it a step further - he's never used a top-15 pick on an offensive player.

Ever. Until Mac Jones.

And you can argue, "Well, they never picked high that often." True, but when they did, they took guys like Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Jerod Mayo, etc.

And as I said to @sb1, had it not been for Saban, maybe he wouldn't have taken Jones and would have done what he did with Garoppolo and others and targeted someone further down.

But I do think if he had the #3 pick and wasn't 100% head over heels for Maye, he absolutely would have traded down and potentially taken McCarthy or Nix, or whoever.

Belichick loves draft picks and he was coming off a season where they were embarrassed and had a lot of holes to fill. He would have done all he could to give them the best chance to do so. Especially if the guy sitting at #3 wasn't a "must-have" guy in his eyes.

Again, just my opinion, but previous history tells me that's what he would have done. Although, at the same time, McCarthy wasn't terrible and neither is Nix, and we won't know for a few years on Maye. Hopefully, he's "the guy" we all believe he might be. But I think Belichick would have played it the same way he always had. And yes, I'm being serious.

I’m not arguing why he would have. I am saying it’s ridiculous to say he wouldn’t have taken him because you have no way of knowing that and 90% of the football world would have.

He NEVER would pick a WR in the first, until he did.

He never had a Qb need until 2020 when there was no viable Qb to draft, then 2021 when he used his 1st on a QB. Did you expect him to use a first in a qb when he had Brady? Or instead of Seymour when Bledsoe just signed a 100 million contract?

His previous history is that he had the GOAT and kept him here 20 years. As soon as he was gone he picked a QB in the first round. Before that, when he arrived, he locked up his Qb to a 100 million dollar deal.

Yes hr didn’t draft a qb in the first round when he had the GOAT. What is that supposed to prove?

After last year there is no question that getting a qb would have been his top priority.

Should have just kept bill.

@Boomer B that wasn't a serious post.

Ok, so you think he would have taken Maye #3 overall. Cool. Again, I don’t think he would have.

I agree Ian I don't believe he would have either.

Not even a question in my mind that he doesn't take Maye.

Most likely trades down and takes McCarthy or Nix if either are available. Both are polished which is what Bill likes.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I would say his evaluation was not glowing. If you came away thinking Maye was his first choice worthy of the #3 overall pick, you and I absolutely view it differently.

Anyone who wants to pretend that Belichick would have picked Maye is smoking crack.

I agree....

...O'Brien would have done a lot better this year with Maye

My guess he would have traded down expecting to take Nix or Penix and would have been left holding the bag when both went higher than expected.

Agreed I'd assume he's take McCarthy especially during the draft saying that Drake needed alot of work and pretty much projected him as a project. They both are solid rookies but the ceiling and potential is no where near Maye daye.. we are watching Josh Allen as a rookie with better control each week with Drake.. the kids has everything around him shot to **** and still makes the most of things. He wows me each week with at least 1 or 2 plays that not many QBs can make.

I wanted McConkey too but if you look at his scouting profile it's hard to blame teams if they hesitated on picking him with all the injuries he's had. Some of them sound chronic.

LOL isn’t that what some said about Keenan Allen? Meanwhile, Allen’s college tape and production was off the charts better than Dobson’s.

He absolutely would not have taken Maye. He made it clear he didn’t think Maye was anything special and dissed the pick. Anyone arguing he would have is just making **** up.

I don't understand why we are discussing something that someone would have done for this team when they are no longer with this team. BB had some great qualities and some **** qualities, but discussing his tendencies and applying them to the 2024 draft is ridiculous.

One of your better posts lately.

Edit: You shouldn't have edited it. The original was way more intelligent and thought provoking.

That's how they hate if you haven't been paying attention they do it in every thread.
