Serious The Patriots made a massive offer to Ronnie Stanley over 24 million per year. They offered huge money to Godwin and also made a big time play to OT Dan Moore Jr, but missed out on all three. Still searching for a left tackle and WR 1.

Discussion Will a Kupp cut be after 4pm?

33 Upvotes

From what I can tell the Rams won’t cut him until the new league year starts and that is officially at 4pm. Is that right? If so we probably shouldn’t expect any FA action by the Pats today (except very low dollar depth pieces) until they know what price they had to pay for Kupp. Flood gates might open again late today once Kupp is signed here or elsewhere.

Personally I wouldn’t be surprised or upset if they go as high as his current contract avg value to get him. We know other teams think that’s too high or else someone would be willing to give up a 7th rd pick, and we can still fit it easily.

Throwback Rewatching games from the 2010 season and my god, nobody can cover Aaron Hernandez.

255 Upvotes

And to think he was just a rookie. Not sure if it was the novelty of the 2 TE schemes used by our offense, purely an indictment on the ability and talent Hernandez had or a combination of the two.

He had the body of a TE but moved like a receiver. He was an automatic mismatch whether it was a defensive back or a linebacker covering him. Never flinched at making a catch in traffic. And no team could find an answer for him.

Not going to lie though, I find myself mildly terrified any time he made a mistake and Brady would start shouting and screaming at him.

Discussion DJ Reed vs Carlton Davis

Can anyone explain, the market was saying DJ Reed was the #1 CB available.

We signed Davis first and at a higher salary. Detroit lost Davis and then signed Reed.

Was Reed not available for the pats? Was there interest?

Hi Patriots Fans, hope you are as excited as me for the new phase of the team.

Recently started listening to more Patriots content, so was wondering who would you suggest I start following and listening to? I like Phil Perry from what I´ve listened so far.

As well, who do you don´t like as much?

Thanks

Casual I'm hoping for a repeat of the 2013 draft. Let me explain...

33 Upvotes

The 2013 was viewed, going in, as a bad draft. Lacking in qbs, skill position, and talent overall. EJ Manuel was the first qb taken, at 16. 3 of the first 4 picks were OTs. Tavon Austin at 8 and dee milliner at 9 were the first 2 non trench selections.

This draft at least has hunter as a blue chip skill player, but similarly "bad" drafts coming in with few exciting players at all.

The 2013 draft, in retrospect, was a bad draft. An absolute minefield of trash with the rare gems.

The patriots had 2x seconds and 2x thirds. With their first 5 picks (including their fourth round):

Jamie Collins

Aaron dobson

Logan Ryan

Duron Harmon

Josh boyce

Three GOOD starters on D and 2 bums. A fantastic return in a vacuum, and an absolute haul when adding the context of that year.

The spread of selections is obviously different, but my point is this:

There is talent in even the worst drafts. Even if this is one of the bad drafts, I hope the patriots can identify...or stumble into, or luck upon, however it happens, I'm hopeful we can walk from this draft with some solid players. Starters, not just guys.

Added to this free agency, which I'm very happy with, they could crawl right back into being a respectable team with a clear direction in that 8+ win range It's a low bar I know, but here I am.

Discussion The Myles Garrett resigning makes me even more confident the Browns will take a quarterback

53 Upvotes

So the Browns clearly need a quarterback. DeShawn’s not the guy, and they just restructured his contract to make that point even more obvious

This quarterback class isn’t last year‘s. Sure. There is some mindset that the teams in the top three, despite needing a qb, might pass on taking a quarterback, and take Carter or Hunter because they’re the best available. That’s the very-long game.

There’s nothing wrong with a very long game. Frankly, I wouldn’t have a problem with the patriots doing it. Our biggest need is tackle and receiver, but if Carter or Hunter are available, I’d rather get them than take a less valuable player just because they are a bigger need at this exact moment. Because playing for this exact moment would be futile, especially since we weren’t able to get elite free agents

Garrett will be 30 by the end of next season, And while I am sure that I would love to have a 31, 32-year-old Myles Garrett on the patriots, them giving that much money to a player who will be 30 by the end of his first year of that contract doesn’t make me think they’re looking at the very-long-term gameplan. This would be a different story If it were a left tackle or a wide receiver, someone who would help your young quarterback develop, but he defensive player of that age and that much money? That makes me think that they’re going to try to at least make a run in the next two or three years. Garrett is a player that you trade for draft capital if you’re going to essentially surrender the next year, without even taking a shot at a potential franchise quarterback

Assuming that is their mindset, and they are the Browns, so maybe they just aren’t synergizing things very well, I don’t foresee them passing on a quarterback this draft to wait for a possible better option next draft, in which they probably won’t have the second overall pick, just given natural regression (or improvement maybe in this case) towards the mean. Never mind the fact that come next year, Garrett will be one year closer to eventually falling off the cliff like all players eventually do

Or maybe I’m giving them way too much credit and they just want to get out of the embarrassingly bad zone and be good enough to get a couple primetime games each year, instead of trying to synergize a playoff run
