I guess you could manage it with a rookie QB, but you wouldn’t really have that guy if you traded down with Minnesota.Preface by saying it won’t happen, I know it won’t happen and I’m not expecting it to happen:
But imagine they made the trade for Minnesota and got Jefferson and also Brown, talk about taking a putrid offense and making it world class overnight
What is the point of hiring Wolfie and Groh?And maybe…maybe hit on him.
And much more likely, he won’t be nearly as good as Brown.
I think Philly started heading down the crapper when Patricia took over the defense.It's something to consider for sure, but that Eagles team had something real fishy going on last year. Starting what? 10-1, then fell off a cliff, to the point there was talk the coach could be fired. How much of that was smoke and how much was fire, not sure, but the wheels came off for a reason. Combine that with a contract dispute (that the Patriots have the cap space to solve), and I could see him being happy here.
That said, these kind of twitter follows/unfollows usually turn out to be a big fat nothing burger.
If he were a free agent I would pay him, but he isn’t. You have to trade for him first, and the Eagles will want serious compensation.Would absolutely trade #34 and more while giving him a massive contract. He’s elite, if you won’t break the bank for him who would you do it for?
We aren’t getting him for future second and third rounders either. You’ve gotta give up some valuable assets to get a great player.
They started going down the crapper when both coordinators and some key free agents left after the season before last.I think Philly started heading down the crapper when Patricia took over the defense.
You have BB on the brain. Let it go. He's gone, just like Brady.They started going down the crapper when both coordinators and some key free agents left after the season before last.
The Eagles defense was already in the crapper last season when Patricia replaced defensive coordinator Sean Desai. We can’t blame BB for the Eagles problems.

3 is kinda optomistic i think... I count multiple needs for this team... not all have to be addressed in the draft, but the lack of activity in this years free agency period puts that much more pressure on the need to hit big in the draft...I count 3, but one, QB, is absolutely critical, and another, high-end WR, hard to come by, and another, LT, tough to find.
And all three are really expensive.
This is what I’m saying. The Pats and by extension many of the fans are so risk averse to give up assets to make a splash for an elite player at a position of major need.If he were a free agent I would pay him, but he isn’t. You have to trade for him first, and the Eagles will want serious compensation.
Trading high draft picks for a player then paying him is bad business. You’ve paid twice for the same player.
Draft a WR instead, draft three… bring in some UDFA’s as well.

“Risk” has nothing to do with engaging in bad business practices.This is what I’m saying. The Pats and by extension many of the fans are so risk averse to give up assets to make a splash for an elite player at a position of major need.
There’s a whole new front office and regime in place… how can they be bad at drafting WR’s when this is their first draft?Our Wr drafting his garbage, has been for a long time. Do what you’ve gotta do to get known talent.

I would consider that the guard position *might* need to be shored up, but am willing to see how that plays out in the coming off season... If Onwenu stays at RT, and Sow continues an upwards trajectory, it works I think... Rookie LT - Strange - Andrews - Sow - Onwenu, not a dominant line, but a decent one... McDermott & Anderson as swing tackles, hope Jake Andrews improves to the point where he can replace David Andrews, & I'm good with that at this point... So I only added the LT spot on the list...
To me drafting Harry instead of Brown was the the event that was ultimately BB's undoing with the Pats. Harry being so bad alienated Brady and led to the Sanu trade and other desperate decisions that helped create a cap space mess and push TB12 out the door. If AJ had been the choice, success on the field would have gone a long way towards Brady wanting to finish his career in NE. Brady may still have left for other reasons, the decision to leave would have been much harder if the Pats were still competitive.We shoulda drafted him years ago....
Brady still would have left, the 2020 team still would have needed rebuilding, the collaboration station still would have taken Mac Jones and he would still suck.To me drafting Harry instead of Brown was the the event that was ultimately BB's undoing with the Pats.

Because BB went against the advice of the scouts he lost a lot of credibility and started the discussion that the game had passed him by. When he doubled down with the obviously bad plan to make MP the OC, his credibility was gone and he needed to go.
Add Tristan Wirfs, AJ Broen, one of Herbert/Allen/Burrows to this Pats team.3 is kinda optomistic i think...
