It's easy, and only takes a few moments.So every team that picks ahead of us will be geniuses, until these picks fail.They would be if Carolina was an intelligent, well run organization who let football people make football decisions instead of venture capitalists.
Weapons… like the band of castoffs Mahomes had when he won last year, or Tom had in 2018 when smooth brains like you were complaining we had no talent.Weapons have been an issue since 2019. The greatest QB ever was *****ing about them and they've gotten worse since. But everyone knew that Cam was washed anyways. The team that drafted him released him. Are you pretending this is some mutually exclusive discussion?
I know your brain is smaller than a rodent's ****, but try to use some semblance of intelligence.
OK, I'll try to be more clear."Yes, a top 5 pick is important. Folks seem to think that we have advantages throughout the draft, We do not."
You are not serious, arent you ?
I was posting on boston.com when internet was dial up in the mid-90’s, my handle hasn’t changed and people know me.Tell us you started following the Patriots only when they won Super Bowls without telling us you started following the Patriots only when they won Super Bowls.
OK, I'll say it. With Gonzales. Judon and Bourne healthy we are close to KC, probably better, IF KC plays Jones at QB and we play Mahomes.The topic is like saying that the chiefs are only one player better than the patriots (Patrick Mahomes)
Brady scored 1 TD in the entire 2001 postseason… but it’s only the QB.You do remember he missed 2 kicks in the Carolina SB right? So him being accurate 33% of the time (i.e. horrible for a Kicker) is the reason we won the SB? But not Brady leading offense to 30+ points? Get out of here with that garbage.
Except Caesario and the entire front office was two seconds from being fired until Stroud was gifted to him.Texans are the model. They draft a franchise QB #2, take Tank Dell, equivalent to Demario Douglas, in round 3. All of a sudden Nico Collins looks like a good WR. They don't run the ball well, the receivers are OK, they would have 2 wins without Stroud.
Get QB at top, get Tackle top of round 2, get a receiver round 3 or trade up into 2 as it is a very deep receiver draft. That's the way to go.
No one says that.Many posters continue to say that those who pick early in the draft have a great advantage in every round.
Kelce who is a HOF TE and is consistently a top 3 pass catcher in the league is a castoff? Gronk (HOF TE) who got hot later in the season and Edelman who was the only good player in the Super Bowl were castoffs?Weapons… like the band of castoffs Mahomes had when he won last year, or Tom had in 2018 when smooth brains like you were complaining we had no talent.
You play too much Madden and think fantasy football is real world football.
Nuance is in short supply here but two things can be trueNo one says that.
So one weapon… that’s enough?Kelce who is a HOF TE and is consistently a top 3 pass catcher in the league is a castoff? Gronk (HOF TE) who got hot later in the season and Edelman who was the only good player in the Super Bowl were castoffs?
It’s a little too early to be drinking Wozzy. Sober up and we will reinstate your posting privileges
Travis Kelce Gronk and Edelman are castoffs… ok.Weapons… like the band of castoffs Mahomes had when he won last year, or Tom had in 2018 when smooth brains like you were complaining we had no talent.
You play too much Madden and think fantasy football is real world football.
Never said that. Only correcting your wrong Vinatieri comment. Nice pivot though.Brady scored 1 TD in the entire 2001 postseason… but it’s only the QB.

Looking back at Vinitieri’s stats, he had a lot of mediocre seasons. He wasn’t the most reliable when it got passed 40 to 50+ yards.You do remember he missed 2 kicks in the Carolina SB right? So him being accurate 33% of the time (i.e. horrible for a Kicker) is the reason we won the SB? But not Brady leading offense to 30+ points? Get out of here with that garbage.
No, see, I don't think you are really seeing OP's point. If you TOTALLY DISREGARD the very first pick in the draft then you can make silly and confusing arguments about how picking first and picking last is really the same. Now, I am not OP, but maybe I can explain it better for you. Let's do another example, but this time we will not disregard the first overall pick. Instead we will disregard every pick before round six that the team drafting first has. Now, if we look at this selective and stupidly exclusionary list of picks, we can see that the Super Bowl winning team picks 32nd, 64th, and so on. That is obviously better than not having a pick until round 6, right? So what I think OP was really saying was that by ignoring any information that does not fit your narrative and doubling down on misinformation, you can twist reality enough that some of the more simple minded among us will go along with you.
So, you think that our #1 pick will be franchise altering. Wow! How many such players do you think are available?Why must I disregard the #1 overall pick? Makes no sense to me.
The #1 pick is LIKELY a franchise altering player. That pick alone is probably worth the rest of your draft picks. There is a reason the Saints basically gave up their entire draft for Ricky Williams.
One would think you'd know more about that postseason given that that was the year you started following the Patriots...Brady scored 1 TD in the entire 2001 postseason… but it’s only the QB.

No one is disregarding our #1 pick.
I'll be plainer. I expect/hope that our draft will be one player better than PHI, our #1 pick. Hopefully, our management will be equal to OHI on the rest of the picks.
