The #3 Would Be An Extremely Valuable Pick - To Trade

[Ring 6]

Eventually the all left the team they were coaching is what I'm saying. They're not coaching from the grave or into their 90's.

Gee thanks I didn’t realize they didn’t coach after death.

My point is that eventually you have to part ways with your GOAT coach.

With the way the team's been trending since Brady left, the bad drafts, the losing records coupled with a rare super high pick and a ton of cash to spend, it's the opportune time to move on. You don't get chances like this often. Plus it's in keeping with BB's philosophy of a year too early is better than a year too late.

No. Just no. He had no chance on that int, it’s ridiculous to blame him for that. Very weak.

Even the announcers brought it up, also it happened a couple times earlier in the game. My son also noticed it, he even rewinded the game a couple times it happened. Don’t take offense I’m not saying I would be upset if they drafted him, it’s just a red flag.

 

[Sect140]

No. Just no. He had no chance on that int, it’s ridiculous to blame him for that. Very weak.

And yes he totally gave up on that play.

The team extended its dynasty, then Brady left and they had a huge cap crunch. They went into a rebuild. What are reasonable expectations?
I think reasonable expectations are you build a competitive team around your qb within a couple of years and if you have the right qb you are a contender. All of that happened except they got the wrong QB.

The resources available are exactly the reason you need to keep BB.
He is the gold standard of building a dynasty.

You are wrong. 100% wrong

Question: Is BB going to draft and develop offensive talent around this new QB or is he going to do what he's been doing since the last couple of Brady years?

He is going to address the needs of the team.

Nope.

Marvin Harrison Jr. No matter what!

He has the size 6'4", speed and tools to be a SUPERSTAR player! He has done it for a few years and played his best in the playoffs last year against Georgia (who had a defense filled with NFL players. IF he doesn't get hurt in that game, Ohio St. probably wins.

Plus the whole pedigree thing, he has an unlimited access to his father and his (and Peyton's) knowledge of the game. He is by far the safest pick in the draft and has the skills to be the best player in this draft. I'm sure someone will go up to #1 to grab Williams, I would hold at #2 and grab Harrison Jr. You hardly ever get a chance to draft a generational talent, don't out think yourself, just make the pick and never look back.

He has Randy Moss talent, size and speed, minus the crazy!

Great player BUT he does not have Randy Moss speed (4.29)
Also pats are unlikely to have #2 pick. If they beat jets, most likely they will be at 3 or 4

How did he address them this past off season? Two specialists, three D players in the first three rounds. A bunch of G's on Day 4. A 34 year old T in FA.

Id love to have MHJ, the knock on him I keep hearing is who's going to throw him the ball? I'd grab him if available and worry about the QB later.

You disagreeing with how he addressed them has zero meaning to me.
We needed a P and K. We needed Gs, and the see side players were good picks.
I know you think every pick should be a WR but that’s not how you build a football team.

 

[Ring 6]

Nope.

He had no chance at that ball. Zero chance.

I The team may have no strong preferences among 3 or 4 quarterbacks and may be willing to trade down to 7, 8, 9 or even 10.

I'm OK with that as long as they trade back into the first for our starting LT.
========

I also am ok with the trade back if they don’t feel pick 3 offers a starter+level QB.

Especially like a trade back if it is to another team in the 6-12 because most of those teams suck, and I think we will be pretty bad as well. Load up with two top ten picks next year.

The good news is we will be disappointed early this year and won’t have to wait 11:30 at night to get completely crushed.
