Trading down would have been a crime against the franchise. The Pats with a rookie HC are a 4 win team next year at best. Drake Maye (20 years old) has elite potential and gets to sit for the majority of the season (Brissett is the starter) and develop with no pressure to win games. Then in 2025 you are drafting high again with a QB that has entire season of development and learning the playbook under his belt, and you can build the team to suit his skillset.
Patriots are winning more than 4 games I got 7-8 Jacoby is a lot better than Mac or Zappe.
That's the price you pay for rebuilding the team. They will be back in the top 10 for draft next year.
@@TheTruth0401 7-8 wins still gets you a bottom-mid draft pick in the AFC to be fair, somewhere in the ballpark of pick 8-14.
Jacoby Brissett will give them much better qb play but it's a new system for the rest of the players so very hard to predict how the offense will do. Can't be worse than last year tbh. And the defence will likely be the same. Big blow having BB leave of course, but they will have their star corner and a few new pieces to hopefully balance that out
@@spa2damaxIt's a new system for brisset too. Van pelt gonna do his own thing
So you think giving Minnesota Drake Maye to throw to Jefferson, Addison, and Hockenson is gonna net the patriots a good pick from the vikings in 2025? Sounds pretty stupid to me
Have you seen the NFCN now? It actually might....
This WR group is already much better than anything Mac ever had
True, but Mac’s issue is that the OL got super injured and they kept changing OCs
@@Rekcha really feel sorry for Mac. He got a raw deal.
You 100% pick a qb first year of rebuild have him sit and develop you soft tank because you’re teams bad and year 2 you have the ability to draft and fill the holes before starting maye
Everybody grades drafts on if the team is ready to win or not that upcoming season. This draft was excellent if Drake sits and the team gets high picks.
you take the QB. it was the right pick.
Except the Patriots have an actual good running game and a proven defense. That's already worlds better than Carolina was last year.
It's crazy that they are basing on Car just because they were wrong.
Drake Maye was the right decision. Period.
Drafting the franchise QB should always take prioirty over getting picks. This is is the first draft where i've heard this ridiculous narrative about passing on a QB because your roster isn't ready for one. No one made this argument when the Bengals and Jaguars drafted Burrow and Lawrence even though their rosters were terrible.
They think eagles or niners are the only way to build now lol. To really contend each year, you need a good defense, good run game, and clutch QB play.
The same people who say “trade down make sure the team is ready”
Then ignore how bad the 2025 class is, and the fact that you may not be able to trade up for one of the top QBs in any class.
Just because you want a QB, doesn’t mean a team will let you trade up. Vikings offered 3 first round picks, and still got rejected.
Elliot Wolfe came from the Packers, I'm going to trust he knows a thing or 2 about WRs and project Olineman. Bourne is solid, Osborn is solid, Hunter Henry is nice, Rhamondre and Gibson can both catch, and the slot WR Pop Douglas is actually very good he just didn't play until like week 4 and also missed a few games. If just 1 of Jay'Lin Polk or Javon Baker hit, then they'll have a nice core. Not elite, nothing flashy, but a bunch of guys who can produce and have a monster game any given Sunday
Ahh yes the old don’t take the QB approach that’s worked well for literally nobody
In a game where the only position that matters is qb- the not taking the qb approach is idiotic.
I could see it if a team offered like 5 first rounders. But the Patriots made the smart move and if the Vikings didn't offer three first rounders then no one would be even questioning this pick.
@@jk2357 I would need 3 firsts and Justin Jefferson to even consider it and even then who’s to say you draft that high again and who’s to say the guy will be as talented or can even play. I will always take a QB because it’s that important and even if it fails sure I’ll be upset it didn’t work out but I’ll never look back in hindsight and think I wish I would’ve done something else because the position is that important
Do these guys pretend not to get it or are they actually oblivious?
Getting the QB is the point… Next year’s QBs suck, and the team isn’t going to be great anyway. Just get the QB, and draft/sign a LT and WR next draft.
Joe Milton was an awesome value pick
They are a draft and develop team, so this fits completely. Think about it: we blather (endlessly) about it being a QB-centric league, so what did the Pats do? They swung big on THAT (and look ahead to next year: is there a QB who right now projects higher than Maye? No). Now, they will put it on their coaching staff to develop those WRs and OLs. I also disagree that these draftees are essentially "the same" as Devonte Parker and JuJu. My dead CAT was more productive that those slow-ass, broke guys last year. The young bucks will be starting, they are an upgrade.
There are reports that the Vikings wanted Pick 3 and 2 middle round picks for their 3 First rounders
Vikings wanted mid round pick swaps on top of the 3rd pick...trading down from 3 to 11 does not mean they are getting three 1st round picks.They are downgrading their own pick all the way outside of the top 10 and only getting an additional 1st (23ovr) with a future 1st. In that context when the team desperately needed a qb thats a trash offer, esp for someone with mayes upside
I think people are really underestimating what Kendrick bourne can do when healthy.
QB is always the most important part of a rebuild! Specially when there's a special talent like maye! I don't know if he'll be a good nfl player but the guy has all the tools to be special! So yea you take him
you guys are good at analysing play on the field, but I think on this one you missed the point. trading down would have been a media suicide. You would be here telling us that when you have your guy you shouldn't pass up on him.
Talking bout getting the top defensive player off the board. When barmore and gonzo showed out last season.
Hahahahahahaha man they really enjoy not paying attention to the patriots. Going to break their hearts when they have no choice again 😂
So happy the pat's didn't play games at qb.
I will love what we did IF we sit Maye 95% of the season, spend all the cap next offseason, draft a tackle in the first round next year, and be extremely aggressive and maybe trade multiple firsts for a guarenteed #1 WR. Not only should Maye sit because of the talent around him but also for the guy calling the plays. If AVP's system isn't good, then maybe looking for a new OC next offseason should be on the table.
Really like the players they came out with in the draft. One or two reaches but there was plenty of sound logic to the picks & trades and plenty of great value picks too.
The receivers they chose had clean injury histories, extremely qb friendly (particularly Maye), and fit the two needs to get by and develop for this year. Baker was huge value at his spot.
Overall they added high character, motivated and healthy players that will provide a foundation to build on.
Their take on this draft for the patriots is full of cope for their previous bad takes. They're way better than the Panthers. Bryce young was not as good as they thought.
Im not sure how anyone could think trading out of a qb when you need one, and there is a qb with Mayes potential there. The only way this draft matters is if you hit on qb. Getting 2 extra picks but no qb doesn’t help. And thinking they just grab one next year negates any extra draft capital you got and it the same as saving the 2 pointer for the very end of the game.
How many picks would it have taken to trade TB12? I am NOT saying Maye is Brady, my point is Maye is the franchise QB, for me it would have taken 5 1sts or 4 and a guy like Justin Jefferson....
I honestly believe that Jackbh Brissett should start this year over Maye. Brissett is a solid vet and Maye could probably use a year to learn. He has a lot of raw ability, but he's missing some fundamentals that'll he should learn before being thrown out there to fail.
Stop with the drafting a WR with no QB shit. Hey how did the Bengals do in the playoffs last year? Because what's odd it that they have 2! star receivers and didn't seem to make the playoffs. How did the NY Jets do, I mean you got Wilson and very good Defense? Alas no QB meant no playoffs. Hi Davante Adams. Remember when you were relevant? Ah, probably when you had a QB throwing to you; been awhile on that one. And if you wanna upset a WR, it's easy, just have a QB that can't get him the ball (see entire league for reference). And you can keep telling me about how JJ is amazing. But I'm sorry, you didn't draft the Michigan team, you drafted the QB who wasn't asked to do much than to handoff to that ground and pound offense. And 11 other teams agreed. HELL Pennix went before JJ. Vikings might not need him to do as much, but good luck with that. Low ceiling, high floor QB.
well said.
Drake maye went top 3 this year. He’s Huge and he has all the talent in the world. Strong arm and mobile call him a tanker truck. I don’t like the talk about sitting him I think he should start now but I understand the patriots oline isnt solid. But give him that exp.
I agree 100% you start him now and see how your team works and next year you make the moves knowing what you need with him at QB
So you want the Patriots to hold they can get a Qb next year.. when the QB class is terrible next year? Also Drake Maye would have been the number one pick in almost any other draft class especially based on his redshirt freshman year tape.. In my opinion
These two dudes just be yappin especially baldy
I like Polk pick if we had a stud on the other side. I feel like fan expectations for him to be a star is unfair. Polk and Baker are not the answers. That is the frustration with the Polk pick, not that he is bad but rather you wasted such a high pick for someone that won’t make a difference. Could have picked up more picks with that second round pick, could have got an actual LT, could have traded back into first with 34th and got a stud WR or OT. Maye will need every position still on offense
so they should just not draft a wr and leave their new qb out to dry like the bears did with fields ? Atleast they are actively trying to solve a major problem they have. Its easy to say they shoulda coulda woulda from the couch? but we have no idea if they were able to trade back or up
They tried ro trade back into the late 20s early 30s but got blocked. Bills were only ones willing to move down and for some reason they hate us more than kc
They tried to trade up no team wanted to trade with them
Should’ve stuck at 34 and drafted mcconkey
@@tyclark7953 mcconkey is better but he also thrives in the same way. Feeding in the spaces opened up by coverage dictating receivers. He has better speed on the outside too but he's still not really a #1 in the NFL. Also he has SERIOUS injury concerns. Hence the late pick
There was also a case that the pats could have traded down 3 spots with the giants and they would have gotten the 6th pick and next years first. That next years giants pick could easily be another top 5 pick given how trash the giants are
I don’t understand the “they should’ve traded down” take. Maye may or may not(ha) be a top QB down the road, but you have to take the shot. Without a QB, your rebuild is already dead. Maye is(as of now) leaps and bounds better than any QB coming out next year, if you have a shot at a potential stud, you take it, no questions asked. Trading back would be an idiotic move
Milton said he won’t play tight end but he may not have a choice if he wants to play in the nfl
he's a sure cut.
I could see him getting used similarly to how the Saints used to use Taysom Hill before he moved to TE full time a couple years ago.
How do u guys even have a show bout teams!! We lost 9 one score games last year with mac noodle are jones if u don’t think that last year wasn’t mac fault quit your job now!!!
Yeah but this offense isn’t that much better and you lost the defensive play callers. D is more questionable for me and offense isn’t better.
@@Noname33336offense isn’t better? are you crazy?
@@Noname33336 actually a good amount of the defensive staff is the same. Jerod Mayo was one of the play callers and their new defensive coordinator was promoted from defensive line coach. So at least the top of the defensive coaching staff is returning from last year.
@Noname33336 the D is pretty much the same! And Bill focused more on offense than the D! The offense is the same but either jacoby or maye are better qbs than mac jones or zapee! Not saying they'll make the playoffs but to say they got worse.... no
as bad as mac was he was put into a position to fail. really feel bad for the kid and hope his rap career takes off lmao...but seriously I hope he does well in jacksonville. he gave us one fun season, i at least appreciate that.
This is not intelligent analysis.
Jacoby is starting the season at QB1
F -
Must be a jets fan lol.
No way this draft was an F.
B-… and if Maye hits it’s an A regardless of what anyone else does. Personally, I really like the Polk and Baker picks. I wanted Baker in round 3(not at 34, I’d have traded back). I do wish they went a different way with the o-line, but F-? Come on lol
This is a horrible take .. How do these guys make money saying such stupid things ?
In my opinion they botched the draft after the 1st pick aside from baker and honestly Milton.
I also really like Drake but I think it’s going to show in the next few years that this team should have built before getting a QB that needs so much work
I like Polk, but not for Pats. The expectations I have seen from some fans acted like Polk is going to change this offense. If we trade for a Stud WR, I like Polk pick more. Thought it was a waste of a high second round pick though. Not Polks fault but we don’t need another WR 3.
@@Noname33336 polk played very well, we'll see what his ceiling is, but given who was left in the 2nd round pats made a sensible safe pick. AD looks great, but I think the bad rumors are true. watch his interviews and watch his demeanor, he def has an attitude problem. a lot of wr needy teams skipped him and milton. polk def would've been picked before them by another team.
