2024 Patriots Draft Thread

I was bored this morning and for poops and giggles I went to a mock draft simulator and accepted every draft trade offered, then when none were offered I selected what I felt was position of need or best player available. Here are the results.

Pats Priorities IMO

QB
T
WR
CB
Edge, G, C,DT,ILB,OLB,S,K,RB,TE, All Coaches (Can we draft them?)

FIFY

 

[nefansince75]

According to ESPN there are so many variables that they wouldn't get into it.
Everything depends on who wins and who loses. Chicago has #1 guaranteed.

Examples......

If WAS beats DAL and NEP loses to NYJ Patriots get #2 If they both lose, WAS and NEP stay at #2 and #3

If the Patriots win..................and Cardinals lose vs Seahawks, Chargers lose vs Chiefs, Titans lose vs Jaguars, Giants lose vs Eagles and Commanders lose vs Cowboys Patriots drop to #7.

I'll let you figure out the other 36 different possibilities because this looks like a perfect opportunity for this team to screw up the 2024 draft.

I think it's more complicated than that. The SOS could change if some of W's opponents lose while some of the NEPs win.

What was the trade for round 1?

 

[YankeeRebel]

What was the trade for round 1?

Not sure as I said it was for Poops and Giggles. Any draft capital gained was listed too

 

[YankeeRebel]

If we take the best OT available are we willing to accept Nix or Penix in round 2 as the next QB? There is nothing to day we cannot retain Jones or Zappe, I do feel if William and Maye are gone then LT has the most value

If we hold the #3, Chicago has pretty much said that they are taking Caleb Williams.
If Washington loses to Dallas, they'll stay at #2. They'll have a new coach and with Howell, I doubt they take a QB, most likely they'll trade out or take Marvin Harrison Jr.

Here comes the big decision. If BB is gone, will Groh or the new GM/Personnel guy take Derrick Maye? Or trade down? What if the new guy doesn't like Maye? Here's a question. Would you approve of trading #3 to Chicago for #10, 2025 1st Round pick and #74 (3rd) and #127(4th)

Arizona #4 made the announcement this past Monday that Kyler Murray is their future QB. That pretty much says he'll be signing a new contract as soon as the 2024 year arrives on March 12 or 13. SF(#31), LAR(#23) and SEA(#15) would have to pay a boatload of picks to jump up to #3, but if they want something that ARI is looking at, I could not see anything that they could offer that the Patriots would trade for.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Well there is no telling what a new GM would do. If Maye is there we take him IMO, no need to pass on a potential franchise QB. If Maye and Williams are gone with the depth at QB and T would consider a trade, but I would prefer Alt from ND

 

[BigKen]

We'll all know what's going on for sure Monday night.

Then the guessing can really start in earnest.

We won't know shit on monday night.
It will be off-season for us and decisions will not be rash.....

 

[BigKen]

We'll know one way or the other.

Kraft will announce that Bill is staying or not announcement because the Boston media will be so brutal that Kraft will be even more worried about not getting elected to the HOF.

Where do you come up with this shit?
Oh, wait. I forgot you are a fiction writer.....

 

[BigKen]

Where do you come up with this shit?

It ain't shit. The guy is 80 years old and would like some recognition for what he's done for this league.

He was upset that he was not nominated after all of the work and effort that he's put on over the past 30 years. Especially what he did to secure the last round of network money for the league.

August 17, 2023 at 6:00 a.m. GREEN BAY, Wis. — Patriots owner Robert Kraft was passed over for nomination into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday, when the Coach/Contributor committee instead selected ex-Steelers and Lions coach Buddy Parker as its annual nominee .Aug 17, 2023

Who the fuck is Budy Parker and what the hell did he do??

He certainly didn't secure $115B inTV contracts.

You defending your comments is like watching Family Feud. A family member gives a moronic response, then the family thinks "Uh Oh" before they start shouting "Good Answer!, Good Answer".

I'm speculating here, but Parker was nominated for all the years he contributed to the actual game. Kraft contributed to attaining that contract, but so did Terry Bradshaw and Lynn Swan through their play in the 70's. Everyone in the NFL prior to that contract contributed to building the league value.

Just saying that Kraft is 80 and he won't be around much longer. He kept the players from walking out in 2011 and he was the main cog that got all of the networks to work together and brought in Prime Thursday night because he's been supplying Bezos with boxes since he started Amazon. He also got NBC to work with Nickelodeon .

Guys who played in the NFL in the 50s and early 60s practiced at night because they worked regular jobs during the week. Parker was a Lions and Steelers coach.

And yes, I'm defending my post. Kraft has done a hell of a lot for the NFL since he bought the team thirty years ago. IMO he's done a hell of a lot more than Jerry Jones who is in the HOF.

I'll drop it here and give you all the final word.

 

[YankeeRebel]

How ready is Bo Nix? I've read that he's corrected the adjusting to defenses issue he had at Auburn. He's been a starter a while now. Wondering if there is Ruby in the rough situation here?

I have no problem with your view of Kraft.
What I called "shit" Was your depiction ofKraft being worried.
Where did you get that "shit?"

I have no idea where Nix stands.
He has had a very successful career and is very efficient.

The only knock against him currently is he plays on a good team. Really?

 

[cheerupcharlie]

If we decided to go WR or OT in the first round, I’d be happy with Nix in round 2 if he is there. I’ve watched several Oregon Ducks games and he is solid. Definitely better than what we have.

 

[BigKen]

Where did you get that "shit?"

Phil Perry on Early Edition Thursday 1/4/24.

Stated that Kraft was "upset" that he wasn't even nominated. Never said how, who, what, where he got it.
