Last picks are for stuff like PRs KRs or moonshots. Why waste on a BC utter loser???

 

[Steve102]

No. Let's get pissed NOW!. Bernard's size, strength, speed and athleticism is well documented and exists now! The question now is will he be able to translate that talent into playing football and playing at a level commensurate to that talent. Tell me, Steve, wouldn't you rather have THAT potential on OUR roster, even though you know it will be a year or two before we see tangible results of our very small investment. We had that opportunity in our hands and INSTEAD picked a guy with a low RAS (relatively) and moderate accomplishments and won't be on the team come September.

Now all draft picks are just educated guesses and teams succeed or fail in those guesses for all kinds of reasons. But this one was a NO brainer. All the physical elements were documented and prodigious. The rewards were huge. The risks meager. Why not take the plunge ESPECIALLY when you other option is just so completely Unspectacular

Nope, we are gonna differ on this one. Not getting pissed because some writer agrees with your take on a kid who's a late round possible gem but very likely a JAG or even a nobody. I'm just not interested in getting pissed off at them in the first week of summer. I prefer to analyze what happens and hold them accountable when it blows up in their face. Or doesn't. Recent history here is pretty good. They won 14 and made it to the Super Bowl. I'm not on the MVWT boat yet, but I'm in line to buy a ticket. Let's see how this all pans out.

We could talk me into being a little perturbed about the Jacas situation more than anything else right now.

and for special teamers like Minor last year.

I would note that he was occasionally active, an OK result for a 7th rounder.

 

[Uptown]

Thought this was pretty cool..

[ctpatsfan77]

I will note that James Pearce of the Falcons got caught criming on tape and still ended up with just a one-year diversion program.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

You could argue he's a top-3 QB now.

 

[Uptown]

Bro…you’re supposed to lock up opposing receivers; not yourself…

 

[Huckleberry1]

I'm not sure how to link to it, and don't have the time to figure it out, but there is a video of Mac Jones throwing at an offseason TE program on Reddit where he looks exactly like a tweaker. It's bizarre to watch.

I thought I was a major Pats homer but this is over the top. I expect good things but this is premature ejaculation of assessment.

Look at his numbers from last season, he was literally the most valuable player in football. Does he need to come close to repeating that performance, yes, but he certainly put himself in the conversation.

 

[TheRainMaker]

That music makes it even more hillarious.

 

[RxJock1120]

I thought I was a major Pats homer but this is over the top. I expect good things but this is premature ejaculation of assessment.

Well he was a top 2 QB last year, is putting a 23 year old QB top 3 the following year, with a full year of development, that much of a stretch???

 

[TheRainMaker]

Maye is easily a top 3 QB.

Stafford, Allen, Maye. If Maye duplicates 2025, he will be regarded as the arguably the top QB in the NFL going into 2027. Stafford is getting older and the Bills continue to nerf Allen.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I thought I was a major Pats homer but this is over the top. I expect good things but this is premature ejaculation of assessment.

I said there's a valid argument that he's top-3, not that he definitively is top 3. That said, given his contract and age, there's literally nobody I would trade him for straight up.

Bro…you’re supposed to lock up opposing receivers; not yourself…

Wow.

He’s toast. Very crispy toast. If they have even half the evidence they should get from what’s described they’ve got so much on him that case will be a slam dunk. Four counts of assault, four of kidnapping, and they’ve barely opened the book. They could easily add conspiracy, probably other charges. They’ve got cooperating co-conspirators, who probably have even more charges available (weapons). He may be collecting social security while he’s still in the pen.

Its not like he gambled.
