With the #37 pick, the New England Patriots ended up adding a big target for new quarterback Drake Maye, with the club selecting Washington receiver Ja’Lynn Polk.

The Draft is always the opposite of what you expected, and the 1st shocker of the night came when the New York Giants passed on a QB at #6 and took Malik Nabers, WR LSU instead.

Coming off of Thursday night’s selection of Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Patriots find themselves with a new young signal-caller with plenty of upside as they try and turn things around on offense.

It sounds like the Vikings may be throwing in the towel when it comes to potentially trading up to acquire a quarterback tonight.

Throughout the transition from former Patriots coach Bill Belichick to new head coach Jerod Mayo, Robert Kraft had made one thing clear. Ownership was not going to be involved in final football decisions, as “you can’t hold them responsible and have them accountable.”

With the first round of the NFL Draft finally looming, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s name has cooled a bit over the last week, albeit he continues to come up in conversation among those pondering where he fits among the top names in the draft.

One interesting notion from Ben Volin was initially somewhat dismissable, but comments from Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles are enough to make you wonder if it might be a possibility.

It could also mean Minnesota is finally warming up to the reality that Wolf isn’t joking around.  So unless they really sweeten the pot Thursday night with something incredible, in addition to their two first-round picks, they’ll walk away without the guy they really want and possibly be forced to settle for whoever is left.

Former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi recently spoke with MusketFire’s Sara Marshall, with Marshall putting together a great interview during a recent charity event.

The most likely partner for the New England Patriots continues to be the Minnesota Vikings, who appear to be coveting Drake Maye.  However, it may take making a deal with New England for that to happen since the Patriots are said to also be high on the North Carolina quarterback.

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.

After seeing fellow receiver DeVonta Smith receive a three-year extension from the club, Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown made some noise on Thursday to seemingly express his frustration about not receiving one himself.

Bill Belichick may not be working for the Patriots next week, but he’ll still be putting in the hours when things kick off in Detroit for the NFL Draft next Thursday night.
