same. at the same time nothing in the doc isn't factual. it's clear bill was wearing on brady and other players. even in parts of the doc he struggled to give brady credit.

like, is it really a "hit piece" on bill? nah bill just is the one at fault for brady leaving.

I mean that'd be an incredible haul but tough to see it happening

"To be honest my head coach is a pain in the tush."

Bill, Brady and Kraft all stiff as hell but man Kraft

I mean Kraft 100% comes off that way

But again, Bill is only getting railroaded because he has no desire to defend himself. Really hope when he officially retires he does a super open and honest interview with someone about everything that transpired in his career. I’d pay so much to watch that.

Tyron Smith is the one player where I’m very salty we did not get given the contract he was given. It’s a one year deal and we desperately need a left tackle. If it doesn’t work, who cares, it’s just one year.

Honestly respect bill for not bein a chatty patty but him goin to the grave with what happened to butler will forever piss me off

a lotta ppl mad cuz the doc wasn’t slobbing knobs. it told the good the bad and ugly. the critique I think is fair is it was totally uncritical of kraft, but there was no problem with how it portrayed bill.

excited for the drake maye era

I’m curious, where do yall stand with regards to ranking our options at #3 of: Daniels, Maye, McCarthy, and trade down?

I don’t think MHJ gets drafted before #4 by anyone at this point, and maybe even likely #5 with McCarthys rise

I also don’t think it’s anywhere close to a sure thing that Daniels goes #2 anymore

draft MHJ

trade for tee higgins

sign brady

With the 0.000001% of Brady coming back

I’d trade 3 to the Vikings for 11 and 23 and whatever else you can squeeze out

Then draft tackle and WR at those spots

Trade our second for tee Higgins

Take rattler as late as possible

Profit

But that’s not happening

So draft maye or Daniel’s at 3

Nab mcconkey at 34

Grab a tackle in the third

Love Lad Mitchell and Pearsall as WR options

Also, I don’t want us taking an X style WR just because we need it with #34. I have big concerns about Keon Coleman and Legette’s ability to get separation and being good enough with catching consistency. Id much rather go with tackle there. If the 3 WRs I listed at the top are gone (can probably wait on Pearsall until the 3rd round pick also)

So looking back at the 2023 draft, I was kind of down with the opinion all season that it was generally a solid enough draft. I was very mad at the first 3 picks being Defense when we had a young QB but I thought they all had potential. And of course there was Pop late.

Thinking about it now though -- it's an absolute malpractice draft imo. If we EVER draft 3 defensive players first when we have a young QB again, the GM needs to be fired on the spot unless all 3 of the defensive players become pro bowlers. White is gonna be 25 and just a "solid" and inconsistent starter. Mapu will be lucky if he gets to starter.

Reed and Rice were available when we took White. Kraft, Downs, and Wilson were available when we took Mapu. And Dawand Jones was available when we took Andrews.

I love Bill, he's my 2nd favorite Patriot ever (after Seau). But I'm super glad he's no longer GM during this ultra important draft (I'm not at all happy that Kraft chose Elliot Wolf who s*** the bed in Cleveland to replace him though).

schefter saying daniels to the commanders, which means....

If you’re talking about that “Commanders fans should buy Daniels’ jersey” comment he made a week ago, he’s since walked that back
