More on Pats and Mike Washington:



Washington at 95 (unlikely) would be very exciting, possibly a better addition than any available WR.

31. Max Iheanachor
63. DDS or Gabe Jacas
95. Mike Washington

Then some combination of WR (Fields, Lance), TE (Roush, Delp, Bentley), LB (Louis, Elarms-Orr), S (Payne, Wheatley) and CB (Moore, Demmings, Davis, Peysock) with the next 3 picks.

Delp is now in the conversation for TE2. He met with the Carolina Panthers and is getting a lot of interest from the New England Patriots.

Another Woohoo!

Receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, who blistered to 4.36 seconds in the 40 during combine workouts, much faster than scouts anticipated, had another terrific showing in front of league decision-makers. The big wideout timed 4.34 seconds in the short shuttle and 6.9 seconds in the three-cone, an outstanding mark for the 6-foot-2, 207-pound target.

He ran smooth and fluid routes during position drills, directed by the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars, and caught the ball extremely well, which he’s done his entire college career.

Stribling told me that even though his receiving yardage was down a bit this season (811 yards in 2025 compared to 882 in 2024), he had fewer targets with more weapons around him. He also felt he played at a higher level this season in the SEC.

He has official-30 visits with the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A really well-spoken person, Stribling’s performance in the predraft process has locked him up as a Day 2 selection.

Offensive lineman Jayden Williams measured 6-foot-4.5 and 36 pounds, timed as fast as 5.03 seconds in the 40, hit 29.5 inches in the vertical jump, and completed 26 reps on the bench. He looked good in drills and is receiving looks as a swing tackle by teams. Williams met with the New England Patriots on Wednesday,

Thank God for Tony Pauline!

You know my feelings on him.
Does he get to the 4th? I don't think he gets out of the 3rd, but we'll see.

Makes sense, but makes me sad. Booty was a draft binky of mine

I just don't think he's getting a second contract if we have Brown and Doubs.

I'd rather keep Doubs, Boutte and the Draft picks

I’ve been wanting a power RB picked around 3rd round. If we can get a good power back and develop the OLine.
Then play action and Drake would be unstoppable

30 visit for Oscar Delp. That's 7 of the 30 allowed.

Sadiq
Stowers
Roush
Delp
Klare
Trigg

Shaping up to be an interesting TE group, even though the bedt one stayed at Oregon.
