Assuming you are not being entirely serious and are just poking the bear to get a reaponse so i will go equally over the top in my example. If you had the choice of micah parson, aaron donald, drake london, or isiah wynn who are you picking? Because thats the problem with doing no research and not getting at least a general idea of who is available and where they are worth drafting. The best WR this year wouldnt have been drafted top 20 last year. The best LT might not have been a first rounder. None of the best offensive players at positions of need are worth a top 5 pick. IF they trade down to pick 6 thru 10 and get an extra 2nd that might be worth it but picking at 4? Has to be the DE or DT no questions asked.

Good assumption, its friday right?

But are they this good or are they just the best of the defense? Micah has amount to nothing and Donald retired. Since then, ate there many championship winner defensive players being taken that flip the scales? Jets had the best corner since Revis, and then nothing


When the Draft period trully begins A OT will rise and there will be a run for wrs early. Ita been kinda like this with bets going for offense for early picks

But i do agree that, if we trade down and get the best D player available, id be ok ig we invest heavy on offense later

I am a huge fan of Tet and Banks as well. I just don’t see the value of them at 4 when Carter and Graham are there. Would I be upset with any of them, hell no. Tet might hit the combine and light the **** er on fire and prove a value at 4. When I see Abdul Carter, I’m thinking Micah Parsons. But I will be happy with whomever is picked….probably

Read above pretty much

But let it be known that you "lost" bc you didnt continue the gif story

I don't think you need stud olinemen. Decent Oline with good coaching and winning mentality.

I am sure our existing Oline would improve over last year considering the continuity last year and second year jump from rookies. And if they avoid penalties we will be much superior and not shoot ourselves in the foot.

I see LT as a pressing need whilst rest can be filled to an average level with existing roster.

If we have better screens and slot receiver routes, pressure on Oline will become lesser . We will start to see an improvement .

Anything around 7 wins is a positive improvement this season and I am confident we will get that.

I think 7 wins is about the top of reasonable expectations. I think that would be in keeping with my (and others') projection that they are "a couple of years away" from actually competeing for post-season wins.

Am I overreacting that I find it concerning that the new QB coach, Tony Dews and Riley Larkin are Vrabel guys rather than McD guys? It might be possible that Josh and Vrabel discussed it and McD was like whoever is alright.

One of them is a John Carroll alum

Riley Larkin is from John Carroll. It was reported that McD spent time at OSU last year in his journey to modify his offense. So does this mean we might have some Chip Kelly, WCO and EP influence.

I would be much more confident in Josh returning if it wasn't for the same feeling 2 years ago when BOB came back. And that was a worse year than '22 with Matty P.

But, optimistically - it seems JMD has all the signs of "coming back better", being out for a year, learning from college, re-energized by a new brand of the Patriot Way, with a new young star like Maye.
The big thing you're getting with Josh, that can't be ignored, is that he's been the designer & play caller that made it to 5 SB's, going 3-2. Yes, he had Brady. But, both Brady & BB have given a lot of credit for Josh's part in that.

 

[signbabybrady]

Fact: No Patriot team has won a Superbowl without Josh.

 

[jdlboot14]

With Josh in '21, the team was not very talented either, yet they made the playoffs.
Now, before the draft & FA, the team is better at these positions than in '21 - QB, TE, RB.
And worse on OL & WR (close).
With those positions being addressed, we should have a better roster in '25 than in '21.

Dear sweet baby Jesus with the Golden Fleece diapers not again...

I thought we were finally through with the John ****ing Carol gravy ****ing train here. Guess not.

What was that again about entitlement, Mike...?

 

[Jackson 2]

Me neither.

Although it wouldn't surprise me to learn his reading level was at a middle school/grade school level.

It also wouldn't surprise me to learn it was right on appropriate grade level all the way through his educational experience. His failure as a rookie receiver was dismal, but in the absence of reliable information indicating it was due to reading/cognitive problems, I'll assume it was due to other things. Perhaps a lack of effort? Immaturity? Not taking his responsibilities serious!y? Anyway, I think the reading problem reason is an excuse he doesn't deserve. Just my take...

I'm sure it has nothing to do with it.

Christ, he could be a Mensa candidate and still have trouble running routes.

Yeah, I guess that's my point, LOL. I wasn't trying to denigrate anyone's opinion, but I just think his failure is likely due to his effort shortcomings rather than a lack of intelligence/reading abiility.

My brother-in-law is a Mensa candidate
I tell him
“You can invent the light bulb but you can’t screw it in”

But this kid shows me a immature kid who has a really big feeling about himself without even proving anything
His videos prove it

I think so, too. He's coddled.

He'll either be here next year or he won't.

How the hell did he get into College

The Redskins had Dexter Manley, a defensive end who couldn’t read, and he thought England was where Canada is. Then again Jared Goff believes the sun rises in the west.

Micah Parsons is a great player.

Dexter Manley you just say #go kill #12#
Baker has to read a playbook to understand routes and calls
That explains alit about Goff

Yep; and while I know he isn't the brightest bulb on anyone's chandelier, I think his main problem with the whole NFL WR thingy is mostly that he's just a piece of **** ******* whose name was Completely Off 2/3 of the league's draft boards...
