prob2236 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If Wolf brings the "Packer way" to New England then I think Drake Maye with no hesitation to sit him for a year if he or the team isn't ready. Everyone compares Maye to Herbert but he I think the better comparison is Jordan Love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofos Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I feel like the Patriots have to go QB in the first and OT in the second. So, I think you have to start looking at WR that will be around in the third and fourth. Roman Wilson will likely still be available as will Brenden Rice, both of these guys looked really good senior bowl week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like everyone is down on Maye right now, but I love the idea of the Pat's getting Maye. He's only 21. Patriots need to accept that this isn't a one year rebuild, take their time with Maye even if that means he rides the bench this year. Spend this off-season and next off-season building around him, and by the time he does step into the starter role that kid is going to fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both of those options, especially Rice if he is there in the third which there is a good chance of I’d bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have either but I wonder if having Demario Douglas would have them searching for a receiver more able to play an outside game. What do you think of Malachi Corley? Another smallish receiver that could around the Pat's 3rd rnd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 in just looking over some of your posts here, guys, it look like you feel the Pats should stand pat and take a QB at 3, hopefully Maye if he's there. so why all the chitter chatter online about NE being willing to trade down? Sincerely, a Vikings fan who would like to trade up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the narrative of trading down is coming more from the sports writers than it is the fans. I think most fans prefer to stand pat, but want MHJ to be the pick. A lot of fans are in love with idea of have a top notch receiver, even of you don't have a QB or line to protect that QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people also dont want to trade out of the top 5 or top 10. they want a bluechip guaranteed stud. however there is no consensus anywhere and reports especially combine week are misleading so or intentional to some end. in short: no idea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
