My heart says Harrison because I love the dynamic playmakers in action.

My brain says Alt because Harrison is almost useless if the QB cannot get him the ball.

But...can Harrison be had 1st and "Good Enough" O Linemen be had in the 2nd and 3rd?
There is a 3rd round OT I have been keeping an eye on

At this rate of injuries, there is something fundamentally wrong with the team. They are not ready to play, and they get hurt consistently. Gone are the days of conditioning, strategy and all that. How many players are left?

Patriots have 8 2024 Draft picks:

Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4
Round 5
Round 6
Round 7
Round 7

No way they can rebuild quickly through the draft.

Signing any free agents will be a tough sell if the player wants to win a Lombardi.

Most players want money more than a trophy. NFL careers are short so the objective is to get as much money as possible while it's possible. Again with our cap space there are three off season pre-draft moves I feel we need to make.

1. Sign Duggar and Owenau (SP?)

2. Ink Higgins or Ridley.

3. Draft best OT available RD 1.

4 RD 2 Best CB or DE

5. RD 3 QB, someone to look at here is McCarthy, Ewers or Daniels

6. The rest of the rounds BB can take best avaialble or work the draft for future picks.

7. I would like them to take a look at Audric Estime

He also has to find another TE. Pharoah Brown will be the only TE on this roster. Henry and Gesicki are both free agents next year.

One giant hole after another.

Yeah I dunno I am not to worried about TE I just assume that will be addressed but again he can get one later in the draft.

Yeah, this. Strength and conditioning coaches need to up their game.

Drake Maye at 5...?

OK, who did we sign to OL via Free Agency?
Did you notice that every OT available was snatched up before the 20th pick?

F*CK a QB. Get at LT with that first pick. Unless you can trade it and stay in the top 10. Don't trade the number 5 for anything over #10 and a second round pick under 42.

I like this minus your #4. I think the D is plenty strong when healthy, Judon and Gonzo back. SIGN DUGGER BB!


Pick 4 find a tall WR that can seperate and win the jump ball. Yes hire a WR talent scout first and listen to him.

Who's to say Henry or Gesiki won't be back? Can they play up to their ability with a decent Oline and QB who can get past his first read before taking a sack?

I also think if we are addressing OT we may need to consider a C too. Andrews is getting long in the tooth and has had some injury history

We also drafted Jake Andrews. He's been been practicing with both first and second teams.
