Pats need Zappe to compete during training camp and to simulate "opposing team/QB" during practice sessions.

He's not wrong. By definition, anyone on an NFL roster is, in fact, an NFL player. So, sure, they suck, but we do have NFL receivers.

It had nothing to do with the current QBs, he was responding to whether NE currently would be able to support a rookie QB. www.patriots.com/news/six-takeaways-from-eliot-wolf-s-pre-draft-press-conference3. One narrative picking up steam about New England's current offensive personnel is that the Patriots roster isn't ready to support a rookie quarterback. Those who feel this way often cite lacking skill talent and holes that remain along the offensive line. Although it's fair to say the Patriots aren't a ready-made situation for a young quarterback, Wolf disagrees with the line of thinking that the Pats should be wary of selecting a quarterback in the first round because the roster isn't ready to support him. "I read a lot of that storyline. I'm not really sure what that means. We have a solid offensive line. We re-signed Mike Onwenu, we have David Andrews coming back, we have three rookies that we drafted last year that are developing, we signed [Chuks] Okorafor from the Steelers. Hunter Henry. A good running game. A solid foundation and a solid system in place with Coach Van Pelt on the offense. I definitely like that we can support ," Wolf said.Later in the press conference, Wolf was pressed again on the current state of the offensive personnel. "We have NFL receivers, we have NFL tight ends, we have NFL running backs, we have NFL offensive linemen. We feel good about where we are, and we feel through free agency, on the offensive side in particular, that we've supplemented our roster, so we're not having to draft for need as much offensively," he continued. The high-end supporting talent on offense seems lacking from the outside looking in. The Patriots have complementary playmakers, and the offensive line could come together if they address left tackle with a premium draft pick. But they're still searching for a top receiver to establish a proper hierarchy in their passing game, which has been an ongoing issue. Although we don't subscribe to the theory that the Patriots should wait to draft a quarterback next year until the roster is in better shape, it remains to be seen if they can support a rookie quarterback. That said, a lot can change if the quarterback they select is a truly franchise-altering talent, a la C.J. Stroud in Houston, or if they hit on a receiver or tackle.

The tweet says this Eliot Wolf on if he thinks people are underestimating what the #Patriots have on offense: "I do, yes. We have NFL receivers. We have NFL tight ends. We have NFL running backs. We have NFL offense lineman. We feel good about where we are."That is a small piece of what I posted, which is Wolf responding to whether the team is in a position to support a rookie quarterback. Kadlick used a small part of a much larger thought, interpreted it totally out of the context it was used in, and then you further bastardized it be a dig on Zappe.
