I wonder if Shanahan had more influence than usual because he’s an offense guy and it was a high 1.Yeah hitting spectacularly on so many other picks helps buffer the one spectacular failure

I’m guessing that was one pretty big reason why he was hired.I'd go with McAdoo
San Francisco blew the Trey Lance pick, a year later they took Brock Purdy and he pulled the front office’s fat from the fire.This! this is why I am so scared for next week. If the PATS don't get it right...how far does it set us back?? Do they "take the bag"? fix other problems and take a lower tier guy?? and 1-4 all hit?? we just don't know..
Agreed they’re likely not trading out of 3, but if they really want Maye and he’s gone, I could see them trading back a couple of spots if Arizona and Chargers are positioning themselves to get Marvin Harrison Jr.lol everyone thinks the Patriots are trading 3, I swear if we trade down less for anything less then 4 1sts or Justin Jefferson and a 1st and second I’m going to all our front office clowns. And Wolf is no clown.
After moving on from BB and developing a new identity, the LAST thing I want to see is Kraft determining who the Pats draft.Jay Stew said that Pats front office is split on 3 players:
Wolf and Mayo wants JJ
Kraft wants Daniels
AVP and McAdoo wants Maye
If they don't like Daniels/Maye (whoever is left)... trade back a few spots and take JJ (IF that is their guy). Leaves them with an extra pick in 30's and come away with LT/WR/QB...If they have reason to believe their "guy" is there at 4,5,6,7 then why not pick up extra capital and draft him later...Agreed they’re likely not trading out of 3, but if they really want Maye and he’s gone, I could see them trading back a couple of spots if Arizona and Chargers are positioning themselves to get Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Pat’s would be smart to take that trade, add another 2nd and take JJ McCarthy at 4 or 5.
He had the last coach for over 20 years and has only hired two since he bought the team, WTF are you talking about?If the Pats miss out on the next star QB, Bob will do what he’s done in the past and fire who he can to deflect blame.

Kraft should have no say if I was Wolfwho cares what kraft wants
i would lean mcadoo > Wolf and then the rest

Jordan Richards drove 35 GOT DANG miles to avoid a toll an donchu FERGIT it, Baw!You mean the echo chamber? BB at his best, pre 2015 (the year he demonstrably goofed in a big way drafting Stanford’s unathletic Jordan Richards in the second round ), would not treat the echo chamber with respect. I really liked that about him.
But he lost his mojo and then his confidence in the draft. Overcompensating with likely bust BoneyT out of Baylor after the N’Keal Harry catastrophe. And then drafting Mac Jones when it seemed to go against his better judgment as witnessed by his being unimpressed with Jones’s pro day.
Please read the cons on the scouting report for this QB and tell me if they should be taken in the 1st round:Two concerns. Maye looked like sh-t his last regular season game against NC State. Not a powerhouse team.
His regression this past season is being swept under the rug. ACC is not the SEC.
And the JJ hype train is thin gruel stuff. He admittedly wasn’t asked to do a lot. His production was barely over 150 yards a game after cheating ringleader, Conor Stallions, was fired from the team mid season.
Stallions was the guy who scouted opponents and learned their sideline signals. He was able to signal to the Michigan DC and OC what the call was in real time.
That huge advantage along with the talent discrepancy in Michigan’s favor for most games put McCarthy in a great position.
He is a winner and had to make plays against teams in the playoffs. Not many. Just a few.
But he sure didn’t do that in the same position two years ago.
Maye looked like a franchise QB…two seasons ago. JJM and his tiny 9” hands may be Mac Jones 2.0. Better arm but not the touch in short to intermediate passes.
The lack of consensus in the organization if the reports are true is a sign of this.
We should trade back. Take a less sexy QB pick like Spencer Rattler. Accumulate talent. We’re lucky that our weakest positions, OT and WR, is strong this year.
