Patriots Player Departure Marte Mapu Released [UPDATE: Traded to HOU - Mapu+7th for 6th]

[TheRainMaker]

There aren't any brainless management toadies out there who still insist that 2023 was a good draft, are there?

That draft was atrocious and why BB got fired. He needed now players, but barely got any production out of it.

I don't think there are any left, but there are still some posting here who believe the problem was not BB when it came to the draft

Yep; Gonzo was a BPA no-brainer once ****tsdirt took OT Broderick Jones after the trade-up (which really should've yielded us either #80 or #120 Plus a 2024 4th); so I ain't gonna shower him with praise or anything for that one, except for a hearty Thanks for Not ****ing it up like the Deadskins did... BootyTime & Poop Douglas, to Bill's credit, were the best value picks of the draft, though Poop was a surprising not-muchofa-factor from the Slot position like I had hoped he would've been in Skippy's offense last year...

Oh Bill was the problem all right, because - among other reasons - he had incompetent toadies whispering sweet nothings into his ear during draft weekend, starting with ol' bud Mike Lombardi pimping Domonicked-up Easily as a 1st-rounder in the 2014 draft...

And let's be real, BB got lucky to get Gonzo, he almost effed that up too.
If he knew he was going to be this good, no way he would've traded back.
He did so cause he was comfortable with Forbes or Gonzo, whichever the Skins didn't take.
Lucky for us, they took Forbes.

Cap is spot on as you are as well DD.. Lombardi is one of the biggest ball washers ever.. guys has gotten fired from ever NFL job he's ever held. Who's taking serious advice from him when he talks he sounds like a auctioneer.. he worships BB.. also is Forbes still in the league?

Forbes was with someone last year, I remember watching him play...
Now I have to google who that team was.
Just googled, Rams.

Actually had 3 ints and 18 passes defended and played all 17 games.
Maybe he's actually serviceable now.

Ok! Thanks for that info know he was drafted by Washington and I remember the talk of how he was supposed to be this generational HOF type caliber player.. dude is garbage.

Ok! Well I had felt he was garbage. Maybe he's moved up to JAG status now!

Definitely has been a bust compared to his draft status and the fact that he was chosen over Gonzo, but looks like he at least belongs in the league now. Might be a career backup, but that's better than how he looked his first couple of years.

Yeah. It could be that also being drafted into the tangled web at the time as what was going in with the commanders and owners all the dysfunction in the organization could have affected him as well.
