VikeManDan Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just now, PrplChilPill said: top 10 isn't top 3.....in a draft with 3-4 supposedly elite QBs.... Again, my opinion, if they draft a QB at 3 they'll have an uphill climb to be successful based on their current personnel. I suppose they're in a unique situation in that they have $156M to spend next year. They better have a damn good plan to support the rookie QB, something they didn't have with Mac Jones. 6 minutes ago, vike daddy said: other than... if the Cardinals are thinking of trading out of #4 if NE takes Harrison at 3, then us being at 5 doesn't get it done. and if AZ is facilitating another team getting a top end QB (supposedly) then they'd rather see that team be in the AFC, like Denver or Las Vegas. Hence why I said dream scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a QB. Unless they believe in Nix or Penix (and trust they'll be there in round 2) The Patriots will definitely be in that position again. Have you seen their roster? 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The Patriots should just trade back to the team that will have the #1 pick next year like the Bears did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to make of Ridley getting $23M a year. He gets over 1K yds a season when he's not gambling it away, but I've never been impressed by him.

NorthCountryEvo Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 6 hours ago, swede700 said: The Patriots will definitely be in that position again. Have you seen their roster? 🤣 They absolutely should be, but the reality is that outside of the Lions, Browns, and Texans of years past, most NFL franchises that begin a rebuild are competitive in 2-3 years, and sometimes sooner. Brissett is an immediate upgrade at QB with a low ceiling, and that should result in 1-2 extra wins at a minimum. A change of philosophy along with smart foundational drafting and free agent signings should help. I would still put money on them having a top 10 pick next year, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy at 5 or a trade up to 3 for Maye or a trade back into the 1st for Penix. I’m putting my trust in KAM and KOC. Mostly KOC, but I’m in. I believe they are doing their due diligence to find a QBOTF that KOC can mold. Their decision will be forever linked to their length of tenure as coach and GM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 1. Chicago Bears (via CAR): Caleb Williams, QB, USC 2. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU 3. Minnesota Vikings (via NE): Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina Minnesota Vikings Receive No. 3 Pick New England Patriots Receive No. 11 Pick No. 130 Pick (Via DET) 2025 First-Round Pick, Third Round Pick 2026 Second-Round Pick In my humble opinion, it would be ludicrous for the New England Patriots to forego taking a quarterback at No. 3 in this draft class specifically. Moreover, there are some reports that say the Pats are enamored with Jayden Daniels, who could very well be there for them with the third overall pick. However, I’m not convinced they do take a QB and, with Daniels off the board, that allows us to create some chaos with a trade. Few teams should be more motivated to make an aggressive trade up into the Top 5 than the Minnesota Vikings. This projected trade might actually be light – even with two first-round picks, and two future Day 2 picks going to New England – but Kwesi Adofo-Mensah still might be willing to do even that. So they luck into Drake Maye after trading up with the Patriots. The UNC signal-caller has the prototype build for a QB in addition to plus mobility. When surrounded with better weapons than he was with the Tar Heels and with Kevin O’Connell coaching him up, Maye should develop into a high-end passer at the next level based on his traits, and this is the best possible pairing between team and player. 4.
