Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season - Mac Jones Traded to Jacksonville - QB Jacoby Brissett signs 1-year contract

[GatorMike]

For what it's worth, I just listened to a clip from Rich Eisen's show, where he said after talking to folks around the NFL at the combine this weekend, Jayden Daniels is QB2 in this draft.

That's not to say Washington is one of those teams that has Daniels ahead of Maye... just that it seems like most teams have Daniels rated higher.

The screen. It's full of smoke.

Everything people supposedly hear this time of year about the draft are lies. Yet folks believe it all and report it as fact. I get that it's fun to talk about the draft, but it's like groundhog day at this point. People will never learn.

Just curious to see what people think... if you were making the decision for the Patriots, what type of offer would you have to get to convince you to trade the #3 overall pick?

1 and 2 this year, 1 and 3 next, 1 the year after

Obviously depends how far. One spot down vs 20 spots down = an entirely different story.

Justin Jefferson + Vikings pick

How far back are you dropping?

Justin Jefferson + Vikings pick

And their second.

At minimum I am asking for the Trey Lance package, 3 first rounders.

Jefferson and a first isn't enough to me.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Justin Jefferson + Vikings pick

*an extended Justin Jefferson

12ish

Hot take alert:

Russ got released. I'm sure he'll want to have a team lined up before the draft but if it works out that Williams/Maye aren't going to be there at 3, I'd draft MHJ and sign Mr. Unlimited and be very happy.

In that scenario maybe you can scoop a more raw QB in the 2nd round to groom into the future guy.

Best value play might be trading down from 3 to the 4-8 range and hoping you can get Alt or Harrison, while using whatever you picked up additionally in that deal, our 2nd, and Mac to get back into the mid first and pick up Fashanu there. But I don't think this front office is going to want to trade down in their first post-Bill draft for optics, and the whole plan depends on who other teams are valuing and picking. Too many moving parts

Rumored Patriots target is off the board:

 

[BradPark22]

Might as well bring back Henry.

Unless they have an extension with Onwenu close, tagging Dugger is the first chance they have had to do something stupid and they have done it. The only reason to tag a solid but not great safety over an elite guard and good tackle is because the franchise tag is cheaper for Dugger and they plan on letting him walk after next season when he'll be 29 before the 2025 season starts, avoiding having to commit money to him long term. Peppers was better last season and Mapu felt like planning ahead knowing the plan was to let Dugger walk.

Agreed, there are very few options left now at TE that are better vs Henry.
No sense in wasting a high pick ( 2nd or 3rd round pick) on one, when we need help on the O line and edge rusher as well, maybe a RB and corner?

5 picks including three firsts a second and a third

And their second.

Jefferson wants 6/150 pass

Like putting the pool in before the house

They didn’t franchise him - big difference

Seems like a precursor to a multi deal

Teams can talk to him he can shop and market determined

I like this player a leader and a tough sob who can play in the box - not great in coverage but brings it

Smart Move - player less likely pissed off

I would - good player, leader, I’m on him

If it’s a sick pool like Jefferson I’ll set up a tent next to it and survive

Like I said before on here, at least our shitty qb doesn’t cost us historic money

I agree smart move by the Pats to get the Duggar deal done.
He is most definitely worth 13.8 M.

Pats utilize rarely used transition tag on Dugger

The Patriots are using a $13.8 million transition tag on safety Kyle Dugger, who can still sign an offer sheet with another team.

5 picks including three firsts a second and a third

You want all that to move back to #6 or #26?
