DoleINGout Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 https://www.weei.com/blogs/ryan-hannable/report-patriots-had-private-workout-qb-mason-rudolph-who-could-be-selected-1st Doubling down on my previous predictions: the Pats will trade UP (again) to secure the selection of their future starting quarterback, Rudy. I had to make this a separate thread so we can look back at it once we all realize Mason Rudolph is the heir apparent, Tom Brady clone. The main trait that stands out about Rudolph? His fire. He is passionate like Brady when he plays and his leadership is unparalleled in this draft by any prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I agree they will take Rudolph, who is the best QB in this draft, but do they really need to trade up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo is sitting at 12, ready. Waiting. The Pats have to move up to 10. Gronk and 31 for Rudolph. At 23 they will pick Rashaan Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jackson is there at 22, great, maybe there is a better chance he is the pick. So far I don't think the Bills have had much contact with Jackson in terms of workout or visits. Not like Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Rudolph, or even Allen I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although LIS, I think he's the best QB in the draft, so you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem with the news of the Patriots workout, their new pick at 23, and the reports of other teams being interested like Cinncy at 21 and Buffalo at 12 or 22, Rudolph is a riser. I heard HoF receiver James Lofton on SXM mention Rudolph today. I think on NFLN Bucky Brooks said Rudolph could go inside the top 17. Arizona (15), Baltimore (16), and San Diego (17) have all be scouting quarterbacks as well. New England will trade up for one guy or another in this draft. I am almost certain it to be "Rudy". Like I said though, they want to use their other high pick from the Rams to add Rashaan Evans. He would fill a need for them and fit so well with Donta Hightower. Edit: Forgot already but just remember the Redskins (13) looking into Rudolph also around the start of free agency (March 14). Mason is a hot commodity and always should have been on peoples radar. Just by watching him or OKS, you can see how prolific and talented of a passer he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Mason's stock would have to rise SIGNIFICANTLY to not be available at where the Patriots currently sit. He is absolutely behind both Josh's, Sam, and Baker. You could argue Lamar as well. He wasn't even invited to the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztec Hammer Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'd go for Luke Falk in the 3rd round. Use the good picks to stock up talent, particularly on the defensive side. Brady props the Pats up far beyond the quality of the roster. Give him the defensive talent to ensure he doesn't get screwed out of another SB before he retires. Falk is physically limited but he has a great capacity to run the play as the coach wants it. He's accurate and throws with anticipation, unlike most of the passers in this draft.

dhunt2402 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 No thanks on Rudolph, and for gods sake not in a trade up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRalph Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 There's no way that Bill trades up up in the 1st Round IMO. Once our pick in the 3rd Round is gone, we don't have a pick for another ONE HUNDRED picks. I think we take an OT at 23 (Kolton Miller maybe) and trade down from 31 (remember, the last couple of spots in the 1st Round are valuable because of the 5th Year Option) for a bevvy of picks in the middle rounds (think the trade with the Vikings for Cordarelle Patterson). That would give us the ammo to move up and down as we see fit, but also have picks in each round to secure talent we like. I do like Rudolph though and hope we can get him. I just don't see a trade up being a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
