I'm of the opinion that they needed to take the risk. The QB class next season is average at best. They probably didn't receive the Godfather offer that they were hoping for. Though Alt looks to be a rock at LT for the next 10 years, they need to find their franchise quarterback. WR? Sure. But whose around to get him the ball?
Houston turned their franchise around with the CJ Stroud pick. Maybe the Patriots will turn things around in a couple of years with Maye.
One more thing - over the first five picks, there are no surprises. Williams, Daniels, Maye, Harrison, and Alt. My guess is that the Giants go WR Nabers next. If they go McCarthy, what are they to do with Daniel Jones and his huge contract?

With the 7th overall pick, my guess is that the Tennessee Tuxedos will select an OT - Ohumuyiwa Fahanu, Penn State

For Tennessee, was right about the position, but wrong about the pick.
For Atlanta, it will be a choice between Jared Verse of Florida State, or Dallas Turner of Alabama. Probably Turner.

These are the things I would work on with Maye: First quicken the release, he had the slowest release of the QBs. Then improve accuracy, missed lots of easy throws. Everyone knows about the feet. Don't run into pressure.

Bears? Rome Odunze
Not bad. 7 out of 9. Love how that screws the Jests who really wanted him.

Vikings trade-up one spot with Jests to select McCarthy. Jests give up a 6th and get a 4th and a 5th in return. Great job by GM Joe Douglas.

Gag Green should go OT with the kid from Penn State that I had going to Tennessee. But, could choose TE Bowers instead.

I really want to be wrong and need to be wrong but my gut tells me the Pats will be back here 3 years from now looking for the next unicorn QB. Rinse and repeat.

A wise decision by GM Joe to take the tackle.

What do you think that they should have done? Traded the pick. The offensive talent on this team is deplorable. They need young talent at multiple positions, especially LT and TE. They could have traded back and probably got a LT, TE and WR on day 1 and early day 2.

Denver lost out on McCarthy. Bo Nix? I'd go defense. Go edge rusher Dallas Turner.

Bill and I are on the same page, has trouble reading coverage. What rookie QB has BB EVER dropped to his knees and gone down on? That's less about Drake Maye and more about BB being BB. He's not wrong mind you, Maye is going to need some seasoning to put it all together in the NFL. Just like all the other QB's.

Your record improves just enough that you'll never sniff a top QB except by luck, and also never sniff a SB except by luck. Yes, mediocre QBs have one SBs. Not many. They swung big. We'll see where that takes them.

As I posted on the other thread, I wouldn’t take a boom/bust project with the 3rd overall pick, I would have taken Harrison or Alt, those were both positions of real need, more likely to play sooner, and much less likely to bust………they have lots of needs, I would have preferred a trade down to get more picks…….

The dude is not a project. They can play him right away if they wanted to but they will sit him out.
