Was Ty Simpson worth the #2 overall pick though? I haven't paid attention to early QB prospects simply because we don't need one.

The 2027 draft has a bunch of better QBs. I assume the JETs are planning another high pick in 2027 and go for a QB. Not a bad strategy getting the QB in Y2 of their rebuild.

 

[Brady to Maye]

I am surprised but I think there are some Edge rushers , WR's and TE's that could help the Patriots. Edges like Cashius Howell, Zion Young or T Parker probably won't fall to #63 but could they fall enough so the Pats could afford to trade up a few spots to get one.

I'm in the same boat, there is enough good Edges left that we should be able to land one in rd 2 or 3, prefer rd 2.
The question is how our staff have these guys rated.
Do they have Parker/Young/Howell rated that much higher than Jacas/DDS?
Is 63 too high for DDS (I don't think it is)?
I would leave TE to rd 3/4.

Must admit that I lost some respect for McVey when he laughed at our pick (no matter how bad it turned out to be).

It's all right, the whole world is laughing at them wasting their first round pick when they finally use one.

Why are you refer to Lomu with “their”?

Let the Pronoun Wars begin!

 

[n1997y]

Because it's grammatically correct and not for the reason you're insinuating.

And even if it was who gives a ****. That's what you want to discuss today?

We need something new to fight about. Vrabel is skipping town, those threads will die down. This will have to suffice.

63+125=58ish

We can't afford to trade 95. Howell, Young, and Parker are not falling to 58. But there are still other options.

I’m guessing he was thinking cross town rivals.

At least he didn’t say Mets.

Giants?
