Indianapolis wants Tyler Warren and word is that they don't think he'll be there at #14. They know that they would have to give up their entire draft to move up to #4.

RUMOR>>>>>>Indianapolis will trade #14 and #45 (2nd Round) AND 2025 first round pick (unprotected) for #4.

If this has one ounce of truth, I think I'd be all over it. 50:50 that one of the top four LT will still be available at #14 and the Patriots get a 2nd round pick seven picks after their own #38. Plus an additional first round pick next year. Excuse me while I wipe my mouth.

14 Probably, maybe lands us Banks at 14 could be the top three LTs are gone and any other LT in Round 1 seem a reach. So is the next tier LT better than what we currently have on the roster? And while we surely gain draft capital and if we don't want to reach for a LT are we looking RB or DT at 14?

Out of Miami, not Boston. Rumor....Patriots get older at WR

New Trade Proposal Sets Decades-Old Rivalry Aside​

The 1985 season saw the Patriots get to the franchise’s first Super Bowl, defeating Miami in the AFC Championship game which became memorable for New England’s slogan “Squish the Fish.” Then in 2018, the Dolphins humiliated the Tom Brady-led Patriots in what became known as the “Miami Miracle” game.

The regular season contest ended with the Dolphins scoring a walk-off touchdown win with a 69-yard series of laterals on the final play.

Despite the rivalry, a new proposed trade between the two teams, would offer benefits to both. New England would add speed and a new level of skill to what was a league-worst passing game in 2024, with only 2,995 yards in the air. The Dolphins would gain, at minimum, a third-round pick — of which the Patriots now own two.

The proposal comes from the 68,800-follower Boston sports X (formerly Twitter) account known as “Savage.”

“Trade scenario: Patriots receive: Tyreek Hill. Dolphins receive: Patriots third round draft pick (77). Who says no?” the Savage sports account asked on Sunday.

Day 2 Pick Brings in 5-Time All-Pro​

Hill, at age 31, is an eight-time Pro Bowl pick and five-time first-team All-Pro selection. The five-foot-10-inch wide receiver is also one of the fastest players in the NFL, with his speed clocked at up to 23.24 miles per hour. For comparison, Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles was recorded at 27.09 mph in the 100-meter dash.

A fifth-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016, Hill led the NFL in receiving yardage at 1,799 and touchdowns by a receiver with 13 in 2023. Combined with new free agent signing Stephon Diggs, who at this point in his career is primarily an over-the-middle and slot receiver, Hill provides a whole new weapon for second-year quarterback Drake Maye as true deep threat. His longest reception in 2024 was 80 yards, and he has recorded catches for 75 yards or more in six of his nine NFL seasons, the last three of which have been spent in Miami.

As for the Patriots, they currently own a pair of third-round picks: their own at No. 69, and one they received from the Atlanta Falcons in a trade for edge rusher Matt Judon before the 2024 season. That is the 77th overall pick that “Savage” suggests as a fair trade for Hill.

“If the Patriots want Drake Maye to make a second-year leap, they need to surround him with weapons,” wrote Steve DelVecchio of Yardbarker. “A duo of Diggs and Hill would turn New England’s wide receiver room from one of the worst in the league to one of the best in a single offseason.”

Hell no! We don't want Miami's problems!

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Hell no! We don't want Miami's problems!

Hmmm, if they could pull of a sign and trade with a contract similar to the one Diggs got????

Would make NE a playoff contender IMO.

Jeanty and Oline in the draft.
