In fairness, I thought he was going to be a stud here but boy did he suck.

Remember the hype with Pennel and how the board got really offended when the media suggested he’d get cut?
Why do you insist on rambling like this? It's already been prove that Stange was NOT going to be there at #85. He wouldn't have been available at 50 either. He wasn't getting past the Vikings at 42. Hell, it's unlikely he was getting past TB at #33. So how the hell would you have started lookng at him at 85 when he'd have been long gone?For the same general reason that most of these reaches occur: Bill's attempt to show the league that he's the smartest guy in the (draft) room, when in fact he's one of the least-informed.
And just to be clear, again, my criticism of the Strange69 pick at #29 has little to do with his ability as a starting-caliber LG on a legit contender; it has mostly to do with his availability at a later point in the draft so that #29 could've been spent on one of the CBs or DE George Karlafits (and #54 on Travis Jones), positions where I feel we needed the most help...
#85 is where I would've started looking for Strange69... same as the HC of the reigning Champion LARs... and if he was unavailable then oh well there are other fish in that pond too...
Pennel? The guy who couldn't hack it on the team a few years ago? ROFLMAO....Pennel is >>> Carl's Junior Davis; and for the money is > Godsmack too.
Huh? Bowles talked about players they were looking at #27 still being available so they traded back into Rd 2. They were always going Defense w/ their first pick.It's already been prove that Stange was NOT going to be there at #85. He wouldn't have been available at 50 either.

Not sure if he's got anything left.
Damien Harris trucking him was fun to watch.2nd hip operation. He's done.

I liked Pennel and thought he could have contributed but I don't think he bought in to the Patriots Way. I believe he had a decent year at some point after his min-stint with the Pats.Pennel is >>> Carl's Junior Davis; and for the money is > Godsmack too.
Pennel teams in each of the last 5 seasons have been 21st or worse in run defensePennel is >>> Carl's Junior Davis; and for the money is > Godsmack too.

Bill go get this bad MFer.
Wgaf about the cap. Pats are loaded next year, push it forward.They would have to do some major restructuring of his contract. Quinn’s base salary each of the next three years is about $13-14 million ($12.8 million this year). Even with 18.5 sacks last year, that is a crapload for a 32 year old LB /DE who has been inconsistent throughout his career. When he is on, he is a stud. But he has had many years where he has underachieved.

Judon-Quinn would wreak havoc.
Consistent isn't the right word. He's always been a consistent performer. He's just the definition of "injury prone" and has a rep or its understood you have to really take care of him during the week. Days off, lots of self-care to get himself right. Which really isn't a big deal. Every team has a few of those guys. If he plays he's producing. It's just getting him on the field and making sure he's healthy that's the big part.They would have to do some major restructuring of his contract.

I am not against it per se. I would be a little worried about Quinn’s consistency and age. But if Judon can go back to what he was before the bye last year and Quinn can repeat his last year, at least in theory, they would be one of the best outside rushing duo in the league, if not the best. But I am just stating there is a risk that the Pats get the underachieving Quinn.
The Pats do have two draft picks in each of the third and fourth rounds next year along with the comp pick they will get for Jackson which most like will be a third (obviously they can’t trade that since they won’t have it until next year, but it makes it easier to give up several picks they have). So they have the draft capital for a trade.
Parker and a mid 5th rd pick.We traded one 2023 3rd round pick for Parker.
