    Who are your binkies for this draft?

    Isaac Gurendo, RB + Former receiver, 4.33 speed. Con: He's 24. 5th or later. Dylan Laube, RB. Dane's "The Beast" has him rated as a UFDA. I think he gets drafted. Tip Reiman, TE. 5th or later. Reiman is a big-bodied player with good play strength who can be a valuable run blocker, and if he can...

    BGC 2024 WR/PTP Thread

    Polk, Franklin (2nd round), Baker and Rice (3rd, 4th) can be X receivers. I've read elsewhere the team is pretty high on McConkey (could go in rnd 1.) With teams at the bottom of round 1 all needing OTs, chances are Kingsley won't be there at 34 which means NE gets their pick.

    My mock using a simulator

    I think you gave up too much for the trade with LAC. The 3rd pick is worth 2200, but 5 and 37 is 2230. I would only do that with 5, 37 straight up (maybe kick in a late round pick.) I do however like the trade down from 37. Two tackles and two WR is a thumbs up. Hicks is a major steal at 137...

    My mock using a simulator

    If WAS: Daniels then Maye else JJ. WAS takes Maye, so I make a calculated gamble to trade with TEN for an extra second (in reality TEN would need to give up more here, likely a 2025 2nd round pick.) One thing to keep in mind: Teams trading out of the top 10 are giving up blue chip players. The...

    My mock using a simulator

    I'd be OK with JJ or Maye. To that end B (although I would try for a different RB and wouldn't draft Milton). Edit: One problem with B though is MIN jumping to 5.

    My mock using a simulator

    Yeah. I don't know if that's due to the logic of this particular sim or if the 5th year rookie contract is considered that valuable. I think NE can really only afford a trade up to 28-32, if that. I think they might do better to trade back a bit at 34 and pick up an extra pick. (They'll need to...

    My mock using a simulator

    The Bo Nix scenario. Assume the trade with MIN is 11, 23, 2025 1, 2026 (let's say 2.) Chances for this happening are near zero but wanted to see how it might play out. 11. Bo Nix. The crowd goes wild (not.) In my amateur opinion, Nix= Dalton/Alex Smith, which really isn't a bad outcome. If the...

    It's way more fun running sims with trades and more picks. Wolf should give me a call :whistle:

    BGC 2024 QB/PTP Thread

    Prediction (and caveat: I'm always wrong) 2. WAS: Maye 3. NE: JJ 5. MIN: Daniels (trade with LAC. Rumor has it MIN prefers JJ.)

    BGC 2024 QB/PTP Thread

    No. This evaluation is only mechanics. They don't include reading defenses and other intangibles required to play QB.

    Just considering Film and Production, Penix should be #3 QB taken

    Huge grain of salt and all that, but from a thread on reddit from someone claiming to be a scout. 1: Some teams take Penix off their boards because he's left handed (ball is harder to catch.) 2: Maye is still considered QB2 despite the negative coverage 3: In response to a question on who is...

    Just considering Film and Production, Penix should be #3 QB taken

    MIN with their offense would be a great landing spot for him. Any QB that NE drafts is going to struggle with a below average OL and a WR group that struggles to get seperation; that's probably not going to magically change because there's a different QB under center. Of course, this doesn't...

    My mock using a simulator

    I'm coming around to WR first too if there's a run on OL, which seems likely. Agree on Guerendo. Kinda hoping NE gets him. This draft seems thin at that position.
  15. B

    How To Nail the 2024 Draft

    QB, 2 OL, 2 WRs. Not qualified to say who those players should be. The roster has a lot of holes and NE can't address them all in one draft. Hopefully player eval and development means the team can switch footing to BPA next year instead of drafting for need only.
  16. B

    My mock using a simulator

    Two scenarios trading 34: One up, and one down. No more trade downs, even to five from 3 (realistic as there's a near zero chance LAC trades up anyway.) Running a lot of sims, picks 28-33 are brutal for the Patriots as a lot of our targets come off the board. With that in mind, in the 1st...

    Curran Knows Something

    MIN doesn't have a 2nd (and there's no way they trade Jefferson or Addison.)

    Curran Knows Something

    Caveat 1: I think they stand pat and take a QB at 3. BUT, and understanding that it's not without risk (and without going into all the possible permutations why I think this is possible), it's still likely that NE can get JJ at 11, or worse case Penix/Nix (notwithstanding the team hasn't shown...

    My mock using a simulator

    It's a pickle. Offensive scoring was down league wide last year due in part to poor offensive line play. There are a lot of OT needy teams. By the time 34 rolls around, you're looking at swing tackles or switching guys from RT to LT (e.g. Guyton), or guys like Morgan who are OT/OG types...
