Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season: Free Agency, Draft Part II

[BernieMcAvoy]

Curran on NBC Sports Boston said that the Patriots describe "the bag" as three 1sts and a player.

3 firsts + Addison or 4 first round picks would have to be the price to not roll the dice on Maye's potential. At least then you can fill your qb, lt and wr needs before even leaving the first round and double dip in the first next draft if you get an offer like that.


Don't think Minnesota will offer that though. Feels like they want their qb without having to pay the premium + price it will take to buy out another qb needy team.

That would be unrealistic. 49ers paid "2500 points" in 2021, but they are a much better team than Vikings. So, I'd say it would take something like 11th, 23rd, 2025 2nd and 3rd (give or take, 2500 ~ 2600).

I don't think the trade value chart holds as much meaning when it comes to huge trade ups for a qb. You also add a premium of buying a team out that will choose the qb you want if you don't give them the price they are looking for.

Maye now -1000 to go pick 3

So it’s just a matter of if we will be picking there

My proposal would be 15 ~ 20% over trade value chart, so it's already a big overpayment. As I said, four first round picks is unrealistic.

I’m exhausted and the only reason I plan to stay awake for the pick is to see your reactions in real time.

If you want to pre-game go read the threads from the day they drafted Mac Jones.

Was about to celebrate then remembered that could mean they traded the pick.

Look, I get it. I really do. The math says Maye is at best a 50/50 proposition to be a really good QB in the NFL. But I think his skill set, age, and on-field performance in college is absolutely worth the risk he never pans out. You just need to take your best shot at the most important position in sports and he's the best shot they can take. If he ends up as a bust I'll never fault them for it.

I should have placed A bet when he was -200 earlier today.

I’ll be very disappointed if they stand pat.

Unless they take MH2.

But what does Dan Lifshatz's secret underground gambling community say?

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I might be a little drunk so just thread -mute me if I start saying dumber things than I already am.

Or he can just be a professional and stfu

I mean if what Curran said is true and they wanted 3 first round picks + a player then four firsts will be a similar value. Is it an unreasonable ask? Maybe, but nothing wrong with wanting an unreasonable amount to let another team jump you in line to fill the qb need both teams have

I just threw up in my mouth.



Breathe, @EverettMike.

 

[KOZ37]

Not bad if true. I prefer AJ Brown but hard to be picky.

[KOZ37]

And a minute later my dream is dead lol. Thanks haha

If we do not draft JJ McCarthy then the draft to me is a success.

Curran says Patriots called Chargers and said we will give you 3 for Herbert

 

[CDJ]

Worth a shot lmao

 

[EverettMike]

No thanks.

The 34th plus the contract you'll need to give him is too much combined.

 

[KOZ37]

would be awesome but supposedly the Chargers would have to take a monstrous dead cap hit to trade him.

 

[EverettMike]

Breathe, @EverettMike.

I will do no such thing until I see JJ McCarthy in another team's uniform.

Let’s get this over with, so we can beat the goalie rotation nonsense to death…
