They can be as much an offensive weapon as the can be a 6th OL-man... and if you get the right guy, they can be both
And if you are thinking we need a TE in 2024, we are much better off getting them in the fold now
Both Parker and Bourne are playing on one year contracts so I think a Double Dip is very possible and get two really good players.Immediate needs/ upgrades i see - ot, ilb. wr is there too , but not sure i want another day 2 guy over any of juju/parker/bourne/thornton. if getting a wr trade for jeudy or something else more convincing. P is another obvious need but not for day 2.
Looking ahead to next year - te (henry fa), edge(uche fa), og (onwenu fa), dt (Godchaux fa / replace for cheaper). Ot again (brown fa). I feel like bb wont let dugger go, or tag. Wr again but maybe tomorrow, plus bourne may not be tough to keep around if we want. Kicker may.
Imo team doesn’t have an obvious glaring hole so i say go with quality over need at any position above. I think we do need to come out of today with an ot though.

Would love to but… Haven’t drafted a successful 2nd or 3rd rd wr since , branch? Mostly Just a feeling i have admittedly but hoping we stay away there till tomorrow.
I can also see branch mayer or a otYou can bet it's for TE Darnell Washington I am pretty sure its a Offensive pick BOB hands are all over this.
I see a lot of Potential in these two guys big play abilities galore.
People get on Belichick’s very spotty record in the 2nd round (he’s certainly hit home runs, but a ton of misses too). But on the flip side, his hit rates in the 4th round are fantastic:Why is everyone so hot to use those 4th round draft picks to move up. I, on the other hand, would rather use those picks to ADD another top 100 pick today. I'd wager if we stay where we are we can add 2 players MOST people will be happy with. My goal would be to see us add a 3rd guy.
Still SO many decent prospects left. Groh stated that this was "the heart of the draft"
Among players I'd love to see come to us today. Tucker Kraft, Andre Carter, Blake Freeland Bedard called Kraft the most Gronk-like TE. He also turned down a NIL deal to transfer to Alabama last season
Carter can be a better version of Detrich Wise. 6'7 edge with room to grow.
Freeland is another raw OT prospect. Think Volmer
Tomorrow, when we will have national take a shot day, I want to see us take a shot at the D2 QB late in round 6 and take the punter in round 7.
It feels more like the 4th round picks help compensate for the brain farts in round 2. LOL. But yes the 4th round track record feels better than the 2nd round, even though that shouldn't be the case because you're literally picking later in the draft.People get on Belichick’s very spotty record in the 2nd round (he’s certainly hit home runs, but a ton of misses too). But on the flip side, his hit rates in the 4th round are fantastic:
- 2022 Jack Jones and Bailey Zappe already have shown themselves as NFL caliber, their ceilings are still to be determined of course.
- 2021 Rham
- 2017 Wise
- 2016 Malcolm Mitchell’s injuries did him in, but along with Deion and Givens was the only rookie WR to earn Brady‘s trust and succeed.
- 2015 Trey Flowers, Shaq
- 2014 James White, Bryan Stork (SB starter, career ended by concussions)
- 2010 Aaron Hernandez
- 2005 James Sanders
- 2003 Asante Samuel
- 2002 Jarvis Green
Obviously there are misses I haven’t named, but the hit rate is really high in this round overall, with a lot of good quality players.
So while I’m happy we have extra 4th rounders to move up as ammo if someone we truly like is falling, I’m excited we have a lot of 4th round picks on principle.
Washington’s floor offers something the pats need as an inline blocking TE & a redzone threat. He has the upside to be the best TE in the class.
They could draft him and one of Jones/Bergeron/Freeland via trade up and have a heck of a draft IMO.
Trade the 2nd round pick for Jerry Jeudy....make it happen Bill.
Ok I am gonna punt here.
We gonna trade up 46 and one 4th rounder for 39 with Carolina - Dawaand jones
Trade 76 and fifth rounder to broncos for 68 - Sam LA Porta/ any other TE
Trade 2 fourth rounders to get to 78 - best Player available.
