It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Lynch maybe holding our head to the fire for 1 to safe face.The freakin' ransom the 9ers paid is ridiculous. Lynch better hope he hits on this, or he's out of a job. Paid Glass Jimmy stupid money on a handful of starts and he can't stay in the line up. Gave away the future drafts to score now. If his QB is a bust, he's out.
Bill will tell him to go eff himself. Cut him and eat the money. Bill 100% wins that game of chicken.Lynch maybe holding our head to the fire for 1 to safe face.
CAR will likely pick at 4 (or even 2).If we want Mac Jones we will need to trade up, I doubt he gets past Carolina at 8
Normally I would agree with this, but not with the Bears desperate for a QB. If what Belichick wants is Garrapolo back he will have to be aggressive. Offer next years 1st, which is actually 2nd round value, and it replaces SF’s loss of their 2022 1st for them. Belichick would play chicken if it’s any other position, but QB is different, and the Patriots really need one.Bill will tell him to go eff himself. Cut him and eat the money.

I think Jimmy has a no trade clause.Normally I would agree with this, but not with the Bears desperate for a QB. If what Belichick wants is Garrapolo back he will have to be aggressive.

Good to know but I think his contract would be the biggest obstacle, as he will have to redo it to come back to NE. The 49ers are in a decent position with him right now because of the contract and because they can simply hang onto him for another year if they feel like it. I’m hoping the Patriots can swing a deal for him but to this point I still think the chances are less than 50-50, that’s one of thevreasons I think they should offer next years first rounder, as it restores a first they gave up to move up, and that might entice Lynch into making the deal. I do think the Bears will be aggressive in going after him.I think Jimmy has a no trade clause.
BB's free agent splurge also means he recognized the recent mediocre-to-poor drafts.
I expect nothing less than a successful draft. That means getting a very good QB.

Except report was they were in for Thuney until the last moment. As for what people in the nfl think. I don't give 1 single f**k what they think. These were the same people that said Pats only won because Belichick filmed sh!t everyone in the stadium can see and that Brady was a system QB. The Belichick "can't draft' **** is just a meme people whip out. "No pro bowl players drafted" Pro bowl selection is an absolute garbage metric to go by.BB would have signed higher priced FAs - or fewer FAs or kept Thuney - if he just had money to burn and no holes to fill. He didn't. No one in the NFL thinks the Pats have drafted well in the last few years.
I didn't advocate that BB draft Mac Jones. They obviously need a promising young QB.
The TEs were signed because Asiasi and Keene haven"t worked out so far. They were drafted in the third round. It's not like they were picked in the 7th round. BB has passed on other TEs over the years. It came back to bite him.
You list many of the FAs signed and who they replaced. Draftees could have replaced them but didn't. Why? Not good enough. That includes Winowich, who can't set the edge and is often out of position. It wouldn't shock me if he gets traded.
The DL is full of FAs because Easley, Brown, Rivers, Wise, Valentine, Cowart and others drafted weren't good enough.
There are going to be bad drafts and bad draft choices. Even the best have them. But to say that the FA acquisitions had little to do with the drafting over the last several years. doesn't make sense to me.
Panthers will pick Trey, not Jones.CAR will likely pick at 4 (or even 2).
Per Chris Simms of Pro Football Talk says Mac Jones is the 49ers guy!
