That's the spirit.

Weird response. You think the Patriots are a Super Bowl contender?

Much closer with Micah.

But ultimately like everyone we go as far as our QB takes us. And waiting for that to be perfect before making moves like Micah doesn't seem like the best team building philosophy either.

Micah Parsons fills one need at a huge premium price for the next 4 years.
2 first round picks fill two needs for cheap money for the next 5 years.

For a team that's not winning a super bowl this year, or next year, and will not be picking in the 30s, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

A single first round pick? I'm still not in love with it, but at least I can support it. You're mortgaging your future for a non-QB making QB money for the next four years if you do what you're suggesting.

And where will be your way if we get both picks wrong?

You said it yourself we need talent. We're talking about one of the most talented players in the league. Proven and still 26. You're not in a place where you should be turning down talent like that.

Bad. If you totally blow first round picks you're ****ed. It should never happen.

They don't need to be superstars, they need to be starters and fill holes. Micah Parsons fills one hole. Makes the entire defense better as a result, but it's just one guy. One guy who's going to be making insane money, and you've got to pay your QB going forward, and Milton Williams is already making huge money for the next 4 years.

Think of it this way. You get Micah Parsons. Maybe he puts you over the top and you get a 6-seed or something this year. Next year, when you still have holes to fill at WR, at TE, at CB, at RT, you're gonna let the first 50 players go off the board the next two seasons.

That's where I am. Maye needs to be paid, assuming he develops into a top 10 QB. Gonzo needs to be paid. That's a chunk of your cap. Now add Parsons, but on a short deal? Nah. I want him locked up until he's 32-33 years old. Even then, they get (in theory) two top end starters in '26 and '27 on rookie deals, while filling out the roster with other talent. Without the picks, I have Parsons and a middling offense where league rules are stacked against the defense.

I want to be on the Hershel Walker receiving end of the deal. Gimme the picks.

Your faith in the draft is misguided and not in line with what generally happens.

Yep, that's where the bullet his the bone. To get a guy you have to pay a king's ransom you have to give up the picks that give you the cost certainty to have that ransom available.

Well that will be interesting.

I'm not surprised you didn't like the signing, at this point I'd only be surprised if you liked one. You should know me well enough to know that isn't what I meant. Davis is a vet, the Pats did bring him in. Do you want them to bring in another veteran corner for you to piss on? I mean there's @ 90 guys and an entire front office available for your urinating pleasure, why you specifically need another vet corner for it as opposed to the guys that are already here is what I was wondering

So on the money. Great post. I honestly don’t know why the guys who are always miserable even bother, if you can’t enjoy a sport then find something else to do. And I’m not suggesting people shouldn’t be able to think critically and make critical comments, but when that’s all you do then what the ****?

Readers note- “What the ****” is as eloquent as I get. I’m no Maust.

Averages are misleading as they include players who fail because of injury and organizational instability (there are a lot of Layden Robinson’s in those numbers; players selected to play a certain system only to have that coach fired and a new coach with different system installed).

Drafting should not be a crap shoot for an established organization such as the Patriots having been run by the same exec and coach for 20 years.

Yeah that's me, an eloquent mf'er.
That 'for your urinating pleasure' line was like freakin' Shakespeare or some **** wasn't it?

It was literally the first article on the subject when I googled feel free to offer whatever else you have on the subject.

Brady should do well in his ownership position. He’s had 23 years of experience in cities/towns such as Pittsburgh, Buffalo, East Rutherford, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Oakland, Chicago & San Diego.
