Of course we could fail to launch, and the offensive plan could backfire again. If Brissett doesn't last, or stinks, and/or if the rookie QB we pick is not ready. If AVP and his hodge-podge of NFL castoff coaches don't coalesce another sub-par talent team, we could go 3-ish wins. A lot is yet...

I don't know, I don't see a super killer schedule. I mean, no "gimmies", but a lot of middle of the pack teams. I don't think the Dolphins & Bills are going to be as tough. We could split. +2 Jets are likely to be better, but not SB contenders like people think. We could split. +1 The...

If they can use JuJu's recent snapchat fiasco as reason to negate his contract, then ya, let's try to swing Aiyuk . Who'd say no to - Aiyuk, Douglas, Osborn, Bourne, & 2nd round Rookie.

He's as good as any option we have. Only knock is his age (being thin isn't really - look at Brady, Brees, Cunningham - perfect comp) But truth is, he could start later this season. If it was Maye, not likely.

This is actually an interesting way to frame the #3 choice. I've been so back and forth on Maye & Daniels. But, if the question is: who is more likely to bust - I just commented on this yesterday that Daniels seems like a long shot to actually bust - at least in the first 3 years - due to his...

I think Daniels busting wouldn't be known for a while. Meaning, because of his talent and mobility, he could compete enough to be productive for several years in that "growth" period. So it's doubtful he'd be labeled an outright bust. JJ is also athletic, but could be more a Zach Wilson level...

Dugger is good, and hopefully can become great (especially with that price tag) Let's remember, BB picked him where everyone bashed it. But he's now being paid as one of the top Safeties in the league. So, lets give BB his due - he did know how to find & develop defensive players.

It's getting to the point where I waffle back and forth from being worried of missing out on Maye, to being terrified of picking him and him turning into a big and shiny piece of crap. And maybe Daniels is all natural talent, but won't survive the pro game. When I saw Nix's interview, I...

That's wild. Texans are legit. They are stacked, and don't really have a weak area. We'll see how Stroud can do in his 2nd year, but they should be seen as a lock for a playoff spot in the AFC.

It's all smoke right now. Wolf may be young and have a different pedigree than a life-long BB disciple, but he ain't stupid! Also, the eligibility rules in college are getting crazy. Why do we have THREE 24 year old QB's in the top of the draft? If we pick Daniels, we'll probably want him to...

Mike Dussault nailed his mock draft Deuce's Mock Draft 2.0: Pats Strike Twice in the First Round Gotta take swings this year. We're talent poor, and you never make 'em if you don't take 'em. Pick a QB, pick a OT, pick a WR (or 2), pick a TE. I even love the idea of Edge/DT to keep depth...

So much said, so much prognosticating. The ONLY factor that separates whether a top round QB will succeed or not is his mental makeup. That includes: X's & O's processing, mental toughness to handle pressure/adversity, and work ethic/determination The first one teams can somewhat evaluate, the...

But it's 17 of 28 including those labeled "Starters" - the likes of Tannehill, Mayfield, Herbert. If we pick either Daniels or Maye and they turn into an average of those 3 - we should be thrilled. Because it's never only about the QB, any one of those guys has what it takes to win in the right...

I've changed my tune from the "trade down club" to - pick whoever is left at #3 If it's Maye - then he'll certainly sit the year and learn (but we might have the antidote to Josh Allen for the next 10+ years) If it's Daniels - then he may start by mid-season, and we'll have a Lamar (but may have...

For those knocking Daniels as a QB pick, just go back to last year when most Pats fans were screaming to see Malik get playing time because of his mobility and explosiveness. Daniels is a polished passer (better arm than Mac & Zappe by a mile) AND the wheels of Lamar.
