I'm not opposed to it if they can take whoever they trade with for every last pick. If it is Minnesota I want 4 first round picks (they are the only team able to offer this as you cannot trade beyond 3years out). If it is Denver I want 3 firsts and Surtain.....I think they could be a bottom 5 team next year. Giants will also be bad so a couple of firsts from them work. I would ask for a second as well and give them a 4th back. If no one meets your ask you keep the pick and take Maye.
I am not ready to hear JJ picked at 3 too, unless it's to another team.
I am glad we took the time to sit down with Penix Jr, I really like him, but only as a mid to late first rounder.

I don't blame you.
If we had pick 11. I'd take him.
But at 3? I don't think I can justify doing that

I'd take Penix over him assuming his medicals aren't a clear nightmare.

I fear his medicals are why he's not a top pick. The talent is there for sure. But his fragility worries me. If we trade out and get a haul, I would take a flyer on him though.

I don’t want any QB who’s had mental health issues or suffers from depression or has
The fans and media will feed off that - look at how Bruins fans treat DeBrusk because he said he struggled during covid
I don’t want McCarthy even at 34
Wrong city for him

This is unpopular opinion I'm sure. But I'm with ya.
I don't know if either will pan out. But I think Penix has a better shot. They can't take McCarthy... Disaster pick.

Inside Bill Belichick's failed offseason job hunt
As the NFL has moved on from this year's firing-and-hiring cycle, two questions remain: Why is Bill Belichick suddenly and seemingly unemployable? And will he coach again?

I think McCarthy easily has the biggest "total bust" potential of the top 5 QBs and taking him at 3 would be an atrocity when you consider what some teams would pay for that pick.
Penix was given a clean bill of health at the combine and has played his last 24 games in college without mising a game.
Out of all the QB's available to draft, at 24 YO, he is NFL ready based on the number of games he has played / Pass attempts.
I would take Penix all day long over JJ.
Penix = 1685 pass attempts
JJ = 713 pass attempts
Penix was 8th in Heisman voting in 2022 and second in 2023
JJ was 10th in voting in 2023.

I genuinely hate the thought of taking anyone as old as Penix, but I'd still take him over McCarthy. (I'm not taking either at f***ing 3, I just mean in general.)
The more they talk about Mccarthy the more I just see Mac jones again
Maybe they’ll get McCarthy someone to throw to who can get separation.
Robert Kraft reportedly warned Falcons owner Arthur Blank not to trust Bill Belichick during head coach interviews
Bill Belichick's former boss Robert Kraft reportedly tanked his chances of getting hired as the Falcons head coach.

I'm going to allow for the fact that this info came from Bill Belichick but I've had just about enough of Robert Kraft. Guy has ridden the coattails of Tom Brady/Bill Belichick for so long and now he's being exposed more and more. The whole elegant solution he wanted? Complete nonsense. Bill Belichick did the dumb press conference and at this point we might not ever see him step foot in Gillette again. First the documentary hits and now this. Kraft has morphed into a sneaky bad owner.
Pros and cons to both.
Penix would be a nice pick at 15-23.
I have no issues if we trade down with say Minny and grap picks 11 and 23 on day one. They would have to add more picks or just include Justin Jefferson and call it a day.
If we can leave the draft first day and grab an OT and get Penix at 23, or move up a few spots and grab him we hit a homerun.
Get the WR we need in the second round, there will be lots to choose from or if they include JJ, grab the top RB ( I love Jonathon Brooks) or grab Edgerrin Cooper ( LB)

Maye easily has the better raw tools. For that reason alone he's got a higher floor than McCarthy.
Honestly don't even think it's sneaky at this point. I think a majority of Pats fans now feel this way. The Dynasty has completely blown up in his face.
