It’s going to be really interesting what direction the Pats go in day 3. I’ve loved what they have done so far and really set themselves up with a ton of options on the final day. I think they likely go defense at 106 with either a pass rusher or DT. Like most draft fans I love upside so I...

Give me Jared Wilson or Bradyn Swinson

Will Johnson is clearly the highest rated player remaining, however, CB isn’t a major need and I question his scheme fit with a Vrabel defense. He isn’t a great press man corner and where he excels is playing off, keeping the ball in front of him and reading the QB and the WR (similar to Travis...

I know these mock draft simulators aren’t very accurate but I love this haul. I’m all aboard the double trade down for Josh Simmons idea. I think he is the best pure LT in this draft. Donovan Jackson would be an upgrade at LG and could fill in at LT if Simmons isn’t ready to start the year, just...

While I agree with this, my one exception at 38 is Tre Harris from Ole Miss. He is my top WR in this draft and I think he could legitimately be a #1 WR in the NFL. I just see a little bit of Dez Bryant in him. His production last year was off the charts, even though he missed a number of games...

If Ronnie Stanley hits FA I’m doing whatever it takes to sign him as our LT for the next 2 years. That would hopefully give us some time to develop one of these 2nd tier OT’s on the right side before swapping them to LT in 2027 (in a perfect world). The two OL I would love to target would be...

My dream scenario would be to trade down twice, move around a bit and end up with two picks in the 20’s to take an OT and Jihaad Campbell. He is my favourite player in the draft. To me he is the clear #1 off the ball linebacker. He is big, freakishly athletic and is fantastic against the run...

I think after 2023 that evaluation would probably be spot on, but I think he made huge strides during the 2024 season. The thing the Texas coaches have praised him for the most this past year was his improved consistency. He has always had immense physical gifts but it’s taken until 2024 for him...

My guy in this draft class is Alfred Collins from Texas. 6’5” 320lbs and he plays everywhere from the 0-5 tech. If this were 2006 Bill Belichick would take him #1 overall as a two-gap 3-4 DE. Right now he is projected as a mid-late 2nd round pick and maybe has the highest floor of any IDL...

Patrick Ricard is an upcoming free agent and the Ravens will have some tough cap decisions to make. I know they want to keep him and he wants to return, but we have an enormous amount of cap space and maybe we could make him an offer he can’t refuse? I know $5mil a year for a fullback isn’t the...

I’m a huge fan of Jared Wilson. To me he is the clear #1 C in this draft. The combination of strength, athleticism and intelligence is fantastic. He has shown a really good anchor against some quality DT’s in the SEC. His athleticism and fluidity are off the charts. Some are predicting he will...

I am firmly in the never draft a 1st round TE camp. Over the past 2 decades I think it has been the worst return for any position drafted in the first round. It’s the slowest position to develop, you get the least return from the rookie contact and most of the first rounders that have gone on to...

My pound the table guy at RB is Kalel Mullings from Michigan. He’s 6’1” 233lbs and is a big, physical, violent runner. He started his career as a LB so he has good vision and understanding of running lanes from both sides of the ball. He has excellent acceleration and burst, nimble feet for a...

My initial reaction was I want nothing to do with Josh McDaniels. I wanted a fresh start and a clean break from the dynasty. The more I think about it though, the more I think he is the right guy. The thing that swayed me was listening to Patriots Unfiltered the other day when they mentioned...

I've been a proponent of trading for Justin Fields so I will give my justification. Firstly, I don't think Justin Fields is a franchise QB. Having said that, I don't feel like any of the players that will realistically be available are franchise QB's. My interest in a Justin Fields trade is...

The 2018 Colts-Jets trade is the one I have been basing my mock trades off. The Giants this year have very similar draft picks to the Jets (6, 39 and 47 compared to 6, 37 and 49). That precedent gives you a really good starting point. Trading down to 6 still puts us in Joe Alt range and gives...

Obviously you need 2 teams to make a trade, and while MHJ might get a few more teams interested in #3 I think it’s the QB needy teams most likely to make the trade up (NYG, ATL and DEN). I think the best trade partner would be NYG at 6. Daboll needs to do something to save his job and a...

This is exactly what happened in Detroit with Ben Johnson and Jared Goff. How Ben Johnson Fixed Jared Goff and Became the Next Big Thing in NFL Coaching That is why my preference for OC is Tanner Engstrand. He was a part of that process and the development of the Lions scheme. I would hope he...

I posted this in the draft forum about a week ago but it seems to fit here. Unfortunately my plan has already had to change with Zac Robinson signing with the Falcons. I’ve been going back and forth about which is the best direction for the Pats to take depending on how the draft plays out...
