Baker said signing Mike Evans back or not would influence his decisionMayfield is mot leaving a playoff team in Tampa where he was succezful to come to the patriots
Its a pipe dream and ain’t happening
Money talks - you don’t know his relationship with AVP and EW. If Tampa won’t pony up before the deadline, that’s a slight.Mayfield is mot leaving a playoff team in Tampa where he was succezful to come to the patriots

Couldn't agree more Mayfield will be 29 still in his QB prime and more than a serviceable QB. Quite a few Teams are looking for a QB now I think Mayfield's market might be Bigger than we originally thought.I think that's a possible plan. Of course, it's very possible that one is gone by #3. Is the other worth the #3 pick at this point in his development?
I've heard conflicting reports on both, so to me, unless you think one of them will become a better QB than Mayfield, that probably should be the plan. Before you say "yes!" to that, go and look at Mayfield's draft profile. He's matured and seasoned now and showing some of that college swagger at the next level.
My personal opinion is that the Pats are a lot closer to getting back in the hunt than most here. They need a QB, a left tackle, a top TE, and a couple of WRs, but beyond that, they're pretty damned solid. And they can solve two of those with the draft, hopefully, which is deep in WR and LT. And Fa should get them the TE they need and the other pieces, perhaps including QB.
Again, if the Pats think THE NEXT GUY will be there for them, take him, sure. If not, the opportunity to get a QB of Mayfield's quality (top 15) doesn't come around much. I really don't want to be having these conversations after another 3 years of the last 3 years.
Prepare to be stuck in the middle, no way to win in the playoffs but just good enough to not have high draft picks.
Don't be the Bears, draft well... pretty simple.
Me: We went 4-13 last yearNah, they had a top five defense.
Last year the Patriots were a top five defense and the 32nd ranked offense.Me: We went 4-13 last year
Response: Nah, they had a top five defense.
It all depends on if and who they like for drafting a QB. If this is 2021 all over again and you can’t get to Lawrence, maybe the better move is a vet?The Pats could come back to relevance pretty quickly by signing Mayfield, trading down and taking one of the top WRs and getting a tackle at 34. But to what end? Does he have what it takes to dethrone Mahomes, Allen, Burrow et al?
If it’s about trying to piece everything together in 1-2 years to try to sniff the playoffs then go for a Mayfield.
If it’s about trying to shoot for the stars and be competitive enough to win in 3+ years then draft the QB.

I could see the team becoming solid quickly if they signed Baker and traded down with a team still in the top 10 to take a WR1, then used their extra capital to bolster the OL.
LOL!! That’s a very curious comment, coming from you.The offense had mostly to do with one player, not having a QB,

It’s a team game when discussing any and every player in history.
