Report: Patriots interested in trading for TE Hayden Hurst

[Sfpat]

I believe the Ravens are like the Pats, do what's best for the team. So, assuming the Ravens want to trade Hurst and assuming the best offer they receive is from the Pats, say a 3rdrd. pick, then I see no reason why they would not go ahead and trade Hurst to the Pats. There are no guarantees that Hurst would make any impact on the Pats.

Nothing more than a fourth for hurst.

If all of these moves were available and cost the same amount of draft capital, would you:

• Trade for Hurst
• Trade for Howard
• Draft Moss
• Draft Albert Ok
• Draft another TE

I’d kinda lean towards drafting the beat available right now.

Well, this thread beats all the Brady threads....

It moves the needle for me....

Dude...you gotta come up with a better nickname for your wang than 'The Needle'.

As of right now? Id honestly roll with Howard based soley on his blocking skills it would be a tremendous addition to our offense (also a huge upgrade to last years group. In an ideal world..Id trade for one of the vets AND still draft a TE.

I’d rather have Kmet and/or Harrison Bryant in a Pats uniform. Hurst has been a stiff so far and I really don’t feel like having to overpay the Ravens so they’ll trade him to us.

Agreed, i just dont know enough about him. If it was a 4th or 5th I’d say yeah, but since they dont have a 2nd, those 3rd rounders are much more important.

Got to admit, I’m intrigued about Trautman, not the one from First Blood. He isn’t a secret anymore though sadly.

It was fairly clear from the start that this was a case of the Ravens telling the Jaguars that the Patriots were interested, rather than actual confirmed interest.

What a delicious combination of fear and respect other teams have for the Patriots, that the mere mention of their name in a rumor could make a team pay more to keep a player out of their hands.

If kmet runs under 4.70 this week, I have feeling bb will be all over that!

Hurst for Michel, straight up.

As opposed to all of the Patriots pass catchers(excluding Edelman) this year who have shown they suck when they fail at getting any seperation?

You and @captain stone are confused on my initial post. I'll clarify. Their scheme gets them wide open because LB's have to chose between the RB and QB with their read option. The LB's hesitation has TE's running right past them thus leaving them wide open. Vernon Davis miraculously became a Pro Bowl TE in this same offense. Put them in an offense with a stationary QB and you can man up on them.

This is 100% spot on...but I still like Hurst the player and think hes a fine TE. Not the next GOAT but definitely a servicable player.

Sign Hooper.
Trade for Hurst.
Draft Trautman.

Suddenly the Pats have the best TE group in football.

I’ll take Kittle.

I’ll take Kittle.

We should've had him already...

We should've had him already...

we missed out on a lot of Iowa and Stanford tight ends recently.

That is why we need to draft Parkinson from Stanford. He might be the best blocking tight end in this draft, and he can make catches in the deep seam.

My father-in-law got Parkinson and it hasn’t been like you describe at all.
