Patriots/NFL 2024/25 NFL Playoffs

Why did so many here looking at last years HFB football threads want Marvin Harrison, a few Joe Alt, and many swap the pick

Lou, Ev Mike were big on Maye but quite a bit had other ideas

Watch out you may upset people

Some people were against taking the QB because the rest of the team was ass. If you want to say Wolf knew that this year's QB draft class was weak so he had to grab Maye that's fair. But it wasn't some master stroke drafting Maye. Most people had the Patriots taking Maye.

What you continue to ignore is the rest of his draft and free agency sucked. He failed miserably at improving the talent on this team.

Wolf drafted the 3rd QB in a 3 QB draft. You could argue that Chicago and Washington made the choice for him.

UFA who were good didn’t choose a bad team, with high state taxes, with crappy weather, and not very good night life in North Attleboro

High taxes, weather and nightlife are not things that anyone should ever offer as excuses for a GM.

As for Polk I think it’s very possible he does a 180 the way Jaren Duran did and gets 60+ catches 700 yards

History does not support this

 

[RoccoF14]

He's cooked. O'Connell did a great job with him but no chance they're trading McCarthy now.

He’s literally costing himself about $250,000 in future annual salary with every pass attempt.

Think about that…

the nfl is such a terrible product

Wild Card round has been a dud. But now that all the pretenders have been eliminated, things are gonna get real interesting, real quick. I’m looking forward to next weekend.

Gonna be in Vegas. 3 mornings golfing at Paiute Resort, and evenings at the sports book!

Of course Sam Darnold turns back into the pumpkin that he is.

Smh

Does Jerry Jones make a run at Belichick or just continue on with his uninspiring head coach decisions?

Some mutual interest between Jerry and Deion Sanders

"Hi Sam, when is the snack wrap coming back?"

 

[McGarnagle]

The Skins/Lions winner better win the NFC. We need new blood in the Superbowl. The Eagles/Rams are obnoxious

Wolf drafted the 3rd QB in a 3 QB draft. You could argue that Chicago and Washington made the choice for him.

If I remember correctly, there were 6 QBs selected in the first 12 picks. It was clearly more than a 3 QB draft.

 

[DKH]

there are people here trashing Wolf who research wanted Marvin Harrison over Maye

All I can say about Harrison is he cost me a FF crown

What does any of this have to do with Wolf doing a bad job?

There was 2 obvious tiers to it. Williams-Daniels-Maye were the 1st overall quality guys and Nix-Penix-McCarthy were obvious 1st rounders but a step down.

The 2021 Draft had 5 QBs taken in the 1st 15, does that mean it was a 5 QB draft? Even though those 5 QBs are Lawrence-Wilson-Lance-Fields-Jones?

Anybody denying this is denying reality. The choice was made for Wolf once Williams & Daniels were taken 1-2. There of course were a small handful here pining for Harrison Jr, but iirc the majority wanted a QB. Most wanted Daniels. With the glaring hole at QB here even Don Sweeney couldn’t screw up that pick.

Not to derail the thread, but Sweeney did screw up that pick in 2015 passing on Barzal 3x with the biggest team need being a young 1C

 

[CDJ]

There are a number of ways they could have gone last year, they got offered 3 1sts for their pick.

Considering all the gaffes the front office makes give them credit for not royally f***ing things up.

Honestly I think the majority of what I read here wanted Harrison iirc
