Brown had 88 catches for 1496 yards with 11 TDs in 2022. He followed that up with 106 catches for 1456 yards and 7 TDs in 2023.

Mitchell is an ascending prospect with the size, length, speed, and athleticism to threaten all three levels (short, intermediate, and long) on the football field. At 6’2, 205, he ran a 4.34 in the 40

Nothing is ever off the table. The Patriots at #3 will get either Daniels or Maye, but in essence, neither is a consolation prize.

In his Pro Day outing, Drake Maye, settled down and made some long throws that easily went 40-50+ yards with ease. 

Asking to fill all three (QB,T, WR) via the draft puts too much pressure on the board, They have to fill at least one via free agency. 

The only way I wouldn’t stand pat at #3 is because I’d have serious concerns about either Maye or Daniels being “the guy”

Henry has been a reliable and productive red-zone target for the Patriots, scoring nine TDs in 2021 and six in 2023.

“You don’t want to game plan for me. You want to game plan with me,” Drake Maye said at the NFL Combine this week.

“Matthew Slater deserves every accolade someone could receive. He added that Slater was the “best core special teams player in NFL history.”

Maye has a prototypical build for a QB at 6’4, 229, possesses a cannon for an arm, and has above-average athleticism, 9 rushing TDs in 2023.

Unless you’d been in that building, you have no idea. And you’ve never been in the building. So you guys are killing him,” Mike Lombardi said

It was a surprise when Cleveland fired him. The Browns used five different quarterbacks, yet they still finished tenth in scoring in the NFL. 

“We can talk about scheme… but if you don’t have players that have a shared vision that are on the same page, then it’s going to be hard”

I don’t care what your title is. It’s what’s your job, what value do you bring to the organization. I think that’s the most important thing.

“Defense, defense, defense. We all know who designed the defense for those great teams. That’s what he did. That’s how he made his mark.
