Bradford: Baker Mayfield a Patriot?

[rochrist]

You know, I’m thinking jimmy does come back after Tom retires. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. And there is a prescident for that. Marty b came back

The problem with that is I fully expect he'll be signing a (at least) six year deal with the Niners.

I'm a big fan and have brought up that idea many times. All for it!

Lamar Jackson & Kyle Lauletta are really intriguing. Esp in the 2nd.

frankly, it would be a surprise if belichick didn't draft lauletta or sign him as an UFA:

First, there are the football traits that this lesser-known prospect possesses. He's a quick processor and reader of defenses. Lauletta moves his feet well and delivers an accurate, catchable ball. For those doubting the FCS level of play, Lauletta did perform well in two matchups against ACC teams — Maryland in 2015 (zero turnovers, a rushing TD) and Virginia in 2016 (when Lauletta played a brilliant game, leading to a 17-point win over the Cavaliers).

On top of that, Lauletta's reputation suggests that he possesses strong leadership skills (he was a leadership studies major, for what that's worth), works hard at his craft and reportedly has strong football character.

Lauletta was a bit of an unheralded football prospect coming out of high school, with only two FBS offers — Toledo and Old Dominion — both of whom offered straight off his tape. But Lauletta strongly considered chasing his other passion as a prep: lacrosse.

"I was a big lacrosse guy, absolutely," he said. "For a while I thought I might enjoy playing that in college. I just enjoy football more. I think it’s a better team sport. But I’ve always grown up a lacrosse guy. My dad was an All-American in high school. My uncle played in college."

We can only assume that word has trickled back to the Death Star on this one. And if somehow it hasn't, Lauletta can pull at Belichick's sometimes cold heartstrings with this incredible nugget that hits even closer to home: Both Lauletta's father and uncle played for the Naval Academy.

...

Joe Lauletta, Kyle's father, was a quarterback for Navy in the mid-80s. His uncle, Lex, was a punter in the late 1970s. Dollars to doughnuts says Belichick has broken down both of their tape. I mean, a punter at Navy, are you kidding? Belichick recently held a dissertation on the finer points of punting on a Patriots media conference call that stretched out to the 25-minute mark. We have a feeling he could have gone on longer than that.

And for all of you who still harbor serious doubt about the Patriots' decision to trade Garoppolo, consider this: The quarterback whom Lauletta has most often heard his game compared to is ...

"Jimmy Garoppolo, an FCS guy, a guy I’ve been compared to a few times throughout the process," Lauletta said. "He’s a great guy to be compared to; he’s doing really, really well. That whole system they have, the success speaks for itself.

"You look at the quarterbacks they’ve taken over the years, and I think I fit that profile as far as a guy who processes information well, good football IQ."

The Bills, Jets and Dolphins are all meeting with Mayfield.

What great news.

Hope they draft him. My wife was a professor at Richmond for over 30 years.
