    Idle thoughts- the pre-draft edition.

    Thanks for the advice. ;) My laptop died yesterday and I had to type it on my phone, which is excruciatingly s l o w. I ran out of gas and cut short my thoughts on day 2 and didn't even start on day 3.

    Idle thoughts- the pre-draft edition.

    Basically, I'm just talking to myself here trying to make sense of the information, misinformation, and disinformation that we have been discussing since early February. I imagine that in the few days we have left this flow will only increase the volume of "the noise ". So I guess this...

    Polian is spot on. Expect some major curveballs

    This a will be the first time I will say something nice about Bill Polion....and the last. He is spot on with his rant, especially as it pertains to QB's. Hard to assess since you are not just projecting what they are now, but where they will be in the future. Mac Jones was an unbridled...

    Jayden Daniels - "intent" on playing for Patriots?

    A couple of thoughts on Daniels. 1. this tweet could be real, or just more disinformation designed to move the needle and influence either betting odds or how other teams approach the draft. 2. It is my belief that "escapeability" is different from QB running ability. Daniels is a 1000 yd...

    Dugger 4 yr extension $58 mil

    Love Judon, both his play and his leadership......BUT I wouldn't have minded if they had traded him this off season and signed DHunter and gotten younger at the position. But that didn't happen. So the team will be better with Judon here. However, after this year, I'd rather spend his cap...

    Curran Knows Something

    This is a waste of whatever the internet is made of. It is true that Mayo was part of Curran's show back BEFORE he was a coach, so that was at LEAST over 4 years ago and probably more, IIRC. I doubt it was a close enough relationship that gives Curran an exclusive kind of inside info more...

    Mike Sando shares what some NFL Execs think about the new NE Pats

    Here we have the same people who had to kowtow to the Pats and the way they did business that allowed them to give their fans an unparalleled 20 seasons of excellent competitive teams. Now, DESPITE the fact that the Pats were in the top 3rd of spenders this FA period, (which is FAR from over...

    Kyle Dugger unhappy with transition tag

    We have stop trying to fit players into tight job descriptions like SS and FS. Defenses have evolved away from those strict job descriptions. SS is no longer just someone to covers lumbering TE's and backs out of the backfield and supply support in the run game. Passing attacks will eat...

    Breaking: Diggs traded to Texans

    You are a year too early to invest in a big name WR. First let's get our QB at #3 set and with a year of seasoning under his belt. THEN it will be a better time to go after an elite WR when the WR FA class in 25 is better than what was out there this year. By not overspending this year you...

    Ben McAdoo has an impressive resume as QB evaluator

    I think the point of the story is that the Pats are NOT being run by a group of blithering idiots like "some" fans here believe. Again, McAdoo;s past "successes" are no guarantee that the guy HE likes will either get to the Pats or will work out in the end. BTW- ere are some people here who...

    NEW ARTICLE: Tuesday Patriots Notebook 4/2: News and Notes

    I've been waiting for Bob to give way to Jon for about a decade now. He's certainly been preparing long enough, and has done most of the heavy lifting over the years running the business side of the team. Now I say this with the strong belief that Bob Kraft is perhaps the best owner in this...

    My mock using a simulator

    I just did my first mock (without trades) and got Daniels, Morgan and Pearsall with my first 3 picks. Picked up a TRUE TE with potential, TJohnsion, in the 4th. the People's favorite, Laube in the 5th, and ended with LB, Edge, and S at the end. 3 guys with decent size and high RAS's...

    Drake Maye would be the IDEAL pick for the Patriots at #3

    I see the never ending QB narratives continue unabated. Let's see how many times we all can say the same things (both positive and negative) about the QB position in the TWENTY-FOUR days we have left before the draft actually happens. Kudos in advance to the next person who says something...

    Drake Maye would be the IDEAL pick for the Patriots at #3

    Nothing changes as much AFTER the college season is over than QB evaluations. I have read where Maye was rated by some gurus as having the best arm of the three AND the worst, depending on who you read. McCarthy has gone from being a noodle arm, to a rifleman based on a proday. The mis...

    Drake Maye would be the IDEAL pick for the Patriots at #3

    Fred, you miss the critical point; THIS draft is rare that it has 3 QB's that are worth taking with a top 3 pick. All you can do when drafting ANY player, but QB's in particular, is do your best to assess talent and character. No matter how good a player is in year one, the success of that...

    Riddick said Daniels could go #1 overall

    This is Maye's 2nd year starting not the 4th. He is 21 years old and if you think that at 21 a QB cannot improve over time, then I think you are playing fast and loose with stats just to bolster a pretty weak narrative

    Players have too much control

    Could be. But I thought the courts have already ruled that those 32 "individual companies " can act as a single entity as it pertains to collective bargaining. Giving the NFL the right to act as a monopoly albeit in a very narrow view.

    Mayo calls out BB for Mac Jones failures

    That would be a problem. But those stations DO have buzzers and I'm sure there is some medication available. Don't give up.

    Players have too much control

    Usually I'd all in on the side of player movement, BUT not in this case. Now none of us would have liked to have graduated college and been forced to go with the company, or in my case, school system, that dictated the choice of where. But here's the thing. The player, IS choosing...
