Dangerous game. If the world ends tomorrow you are better off. You’re much better off longer term if the Patriots extend their high-performing players.

I’d guess all the receivers are cheap AJ Brown insurance. The lack of investing draft capital suggests it’s likely. The wealth of udfas suggests it’s not certain. Just look at the Maxx Crosby deal - handshake deals without a contract are not certain.

Well, comparing official draft weights, Williams was 284, Barmore 290, Durden 290, and Farmer 305. Taylor 304 and Pharms 274. Tonga was 325. Tonga definitely played more of a pure Nose than that group, logging around 40% of the snaps. So a different profile. He played 40% of the snaps in the...

Third RB needs to return kicks. His ability to hold RB3 will depend upon his return capabilities. He has some kick coverage experience but I don’t see kickoff return.

Surprised that there’s no Tonga replacement. Many mocks had the Patriots taking a nose in the first round.

Still need a NT. Corleone please!

I’ll admit I enjoyed the annual “we won the Super Bowl again “ threads.

The late round draft should work like the team Hall of Fame. The team selects three players and then lets us vote online.

Coverage LB. Sorta Mapu profile. Special teams experience. Good speed for ST coverage. Addresses a need, as much as you can at this point.

Could really use a NT. Zxavian Harris or Don Corleone?

No one of any value has been drafted after 198. No big deal.

It’s a bunch of scouts crowding around the 40 line with handheld timers comparing notes on hundreds of a second. The difference between a 4.3 and 4.5 is enormous in a draft guide and human variation with handheld timers.

Yeah. Thanks for the one data point. If Moss only could have stopped the Giants on that last drive, they would have improved beyond 18-0… Most of the recent Super Bowl winners had an elite #1 pass catcher demanding defensive focus. Seattle. JSN Philly. AJ Brown KC. Travis Kelce LA. Cupp...

Is James Hudson II available?

More >$10M average annual value players? Probably not. More third RB, ST coverage team, fourth safety? Probably. I wonder if they are strategically planning to spend below cap again this year to roll money into the future for the Gonzalez and Maye deals. Those two could average close to...

Really interesting analysis. I think the premise makes some sense. I don’t agree with the superlatives. Rabid describes AVT as a “straight up mauler.” He may be the only one. Most reviews are similar to Evan Lazar who writes “he’s more of an athletic blocker than he is a true road...

I agree. Surprising. Disappointing. You can argue “so-so” but some of those “so’s” were game-winning plays. He far exceeded his prior deal. There was some vague reference that he wanted to play for the Patriots. A more than fair deal. Plenty of cap space. Knew the system and avoided...

Diggs’ contract guarantees $6M for 2026 on March 13, yes? They would need to release him ahead of that to avoid an additional $6M of cash spend and dead money. Regardless would be dirty to tell him he’s being released but not actually do it until after all of free agency and the draft when cap...

The Dre’mont Jones signing is interesting. Vrabel absolutely had a type of Edge on the 2025 Pats. Chaisson 255 pounds. Landry 252. Ponder 261. Swinson 255. Traded away Keion White at 288 for very little return. Then goes out and grabs Jones immediately who was listed at 280 for 2025.

Sorta surprised they went with Vera Tucker at $14M rather than Edward’s at $15.5. But they have a starting offensive line. While Vera Tucker has been injured a lot it’s been two torn triceps. That must be easier for a lineman to recover to full potential than knee injuries.
