That this is f***ing dumb. Why give up a top of the draft pick for end of the first draft picks? That would be a very Bill thing to do. Forgo the chance to get an actual impact player for the chance to get a couple of good players. This is why the roster has very few impact players.

Hard to turn down Drake Maye if he's there at 3. If they do entertain a trade though.
Vikings i would want Jefferson or Addison involved in the trade. 11 + Next years first + Addison would be the minimum return to even consider it but i think O'Connell is a good coach and the chance of that future first being in the 20s is pretty good. Would a package of 11, 22 in the '25 draft and Jordan Addison really be worth passing on one of the top qbs? Don't think many say yes to that
I don't think the Raiders will be very good next year and they have a pretty tough schedule but trading down to 13 takes you out of the running for most of the top prospects. Fashanu and Bowers might be the only top guys still on the board, and Bowers doesn't make sense for the team to draft anymore. This team needs talent, and at important positions. Drafting the 2nd or 3rd best tackle prospect won't excite many.

I don’t think it would be hard to turn down Maye at all if their scouts aren’t as high on him as they are on others. You have to trust the folks you’re paying to be the experts. If they say he’s the same as other guys that will be there in round two, you pass. If they say he’s a can’t miss type of player, you take him.

If you believe in Maye as being a legit top line QB? No you don't.

I don't know. Maybe? If they move a top 3 pick and a shot at an impact player/franchise altering type of talent for just some mid round good players added over 3 seasons, I'd be pretty pissed off as a fan. Especially since it takes a year or two for some players to acclimate, so you're talking about 5 years down the road before those good players are even actually good. It's not like the Vikes giving the cowboys all those picks for a long in the tooth Herschel Walker. They give that team a stud at QB and then their picks get worse every year, while you see the other team getting better.

That's some kind of shit right out of nowhere. Hilarious.
Now we get to hear the Foxboro PR machine kick into overdrive and spin why they didn't land him. Should be funny to hear.

Is that not an absurd amount of money for Ridley?

I'm curious what the Pats' offer was. But yes I think that's a crazy amount.

Think i said it a few weeks ago, Ridley is nice but because of the cap jump if he gets into the 20 million a year range, he's not that guy. 23 million aav is a lot of money for him, Patriots would have had to give him even more because of no income tax in Tennessee

Need a puke emoji in the worst way. Why? He f***ing blows and even worse, he can't stay on the field. He's made out of glass.

If what Breer is reporting is true, theres really nothing to spin. That's a strong offer that was stronger than Jax. I would've felt confident if I were them with that.
Ridley at that number is not that guy. He is a good 2 on a good day.

FWIW... Tyron Smith - who I don't love - should now become a huge priority for the Pats.
