You run to the podium accepting the trade down you were offered.

Depends on the offer but that's certainly an option

Multiple Tunsil-ectomies?!?!






I’ll see myself out.

 

[festy1986]

Anybody?

I mean. We do have to do something offensively right?

They can't once again totally disregard this side of the ball.

 

[manxman2601]

Anybody?

6'4", 338lbs

Average run defense grade, average pass rush grade. Only played 229 snaps last season. 934 snaps over 4 years.

 

[Wozzy]

Anybody?

Run stuffer

Baker, just by measurables has something to work with. Seems immature (he was a rookie) and I think we can safely say he got awful coaching last year…could be a useful role player.

Polk…I’m leaning toward bust.

Yes I know the same logic I applied to Baker SHOULD carry to Polk BUT polk had terrible speed/quickness.



Couple late sleepers in the draft I like:

Arian Smith, GA: freak athlete and crazy fast…needs help with hands.

Thornton Jr. Tennessee…huge, fast, could be a nice deep threat for Drake.

 

[TommyD4207]

We've now added a Superbowl ring to the roster. It's progress.

More than one.

I'll be honest. I don't care what those two guys are considered. Spending high draft picks as you are suggesting is a recipe for disaster. Especially considering the picks that have been used in the previous 3 drafts. Unless the guys (Polk/Baker) have committed a heinous crime, you can't afford to give up on them after 1 year. Especially when the previous coaching was utter garbage and you haven't had any front office change-over (meaning you can't blame it on bad scouting).

If you think that Boutte has to earn a spot vs. his to lose, so be it. He's done more than enough to show he belongs.

Not giving up on them you're making them earn it. I really don't see the Pats drafting 2 WRs, but if they did I am for it.

 

[manxman2601]

Run stuffer

Not a particularly good one.

 

[bakes781]

Daniel Jones to the Vikings so Aaron is staying in NY?

That's the most generous way I've seen anyone say 'Can't catch a cold'.

Samoan on roster = Super Bowl

His false starts have been increasing pretty significantly over the last couple of years. For what that’s worth.

I can't speak to where the pressure was coming from for Stroud this past season, but I saw a stat that Mahomes faced less pressure in the Super Bowl than the average game for Stroud in 2024. If I remember correctly, Mahomes faced pressure on somewhere around 37% of the dropbacks against the Eagles and Stroud averaged around 40%. (Over 50% in the playoffs game against the Chiefs)

It would be hard to believe that Tunsil wasn't responsible for at least some of that.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

almost 340 pounds and no good run stuffer?

 

[Steve102]

Anybody?

Nobody wants to come here.

Haha. Oddly, he popped with some excellent hands catches at the Sr bowl. Ot was perplexing as a GA fan.

Many of us suspect there was something about Carson Beck the WR’s hated.

Crazy number of drops last season across the board even by dudes we KNEW had great hands

Daniel Jones to the Vikings so Aaron is staying in NY?

Aaron most likely to be Steelers I would think.
