In terms of pure upside, only Myles Garrett and Malik Hooker might be better. But I'd be thrilled with any of Foster, S. Thomas, Lattimore, either safety or Taco.
If they trade back, would be a big fan of drafting Garrett Bolles. He's 25 but he's in that Lane johnson level of athleticism area.
If hooker was available at 12 that would be the steal of the draft. I think it's unlikely though. Would love to see it. I think he's going to blow up the combine and be a top 5 pick. Wait he had surgery though, do you know if he's doing drills
Totally agree with this. BB's history and MO is not putting all his eggs in one basket. I saw someone put out both of Cleveland's 2's this year (33 & 51) and a conditional 2 next year with it guaranteed to at be least a 3.Trading a future franchise QB for one player (that is not a QB) is bad business.
BB should try to get a 4th also on the trade and trade down the 1st round pick acquired via this trade.
None of the players discussed will have as much impact as having a fully trained QB available to rescue a season in the event of a Brady mishap or sudden decline. This draft harbors no legitimate replacement QB to draft and train, for the presumed Brady 3-4 year remaining tenure.Trading a future franchise QB for one player (that is not a QB) is bad business.

EXACTLY. The way the Pats do it is draft a Defensive stud in first round, and get recievers (hate to say it like Mike Floyd), who was a first round number 13 pick, for nothing.
Also a lot depends on Davis' showing at the combine, especially in the all important 3 cone drill. Need the quickness (not necessarily straight line speed) in this offense. Davis is not only a freakish talent, he is a player very highly thought of by his coaches (I believe he's a captain), they say nobody works as hard as him. And has also overcome a lot in his youth.
A look at his talent.
this also helps stagger your future team's UFA years...Trade down for extra pick
Then
Trade away for first round pick next year and extra pick
Gotta get back on that cycle.

Which I believe is just wistful whistling by the graveyard. It is unlikely any QB will match the GOAT, but his best days have come and are now gone. But you can win a Super Bowl with a good, and potentially great QB, like Polo has already proven himself to be. Sorry I am not impressed with Biscuits slow release.
I strongly disagree with the OJ Howard picks. I'm not opposed to grabbing a TE but not that early. Give me one in the mid rounds.
What I think is interesting is who we'd pick with the number one. I'd cross my fingers till they snap off for Myles Garrett. Holy Hell Flowers/Garrett would be ferocious.
How can you say that. In order to justify your position, you have to tell me this. Name the college QB in this draft you'd take with a first round pick that is better than JG, and why?

Me thinks some here vastly over rate what we can get in return. Although JG is definitely a hot commodity, the reality of a team coughing up one of the first 3 picks straight up seems a stretch to me and would probably only happen if BB and Nick had a deal in place to immediately move it for multiple picks and swaps.
Christian mccaffrey. I doubt there has been a player more Patriots than he to ever enter the draft.
