Ideal scenario for me would trade back with NYG and draft Penix. Not sold on any of these guys becoming great but they absolutely need a QB and getting another high pick would be the best case situation. However I believe Maye will be the pick at 3 and he will bust 😂 I don’t think so but we shall see. I think looking back at this draft Caleb Williams will be the biggest bust. |

Not sure who it will be but of all 6 QBs only 1 or 2 will end up being any good. This is not going to be another 1983 draft |

I hope they trade with either NYG or MN. I don't trust either Maye or Daniels. I think JJ will be available at 6 and might be available at 11. They did F-all in FA, so they need more high draft picks and desperately need a LT. I would be just as happy with Penix at 11 as I think he is just as likely to shine at the next level.
I think they will take stick at #3 and draft Maye, and we will struggle for a few years before drafting another QB.

This is not going to be another 1983 draft The draft is always a crap shoot. One thing i do want. If you gonna draft a QB then don’t put garbage around him. You gotta put someone that can beat man coverage on a consistent basis. The pats right now don’t have that type of wideout. |

I started a couple of months ago touting McCarthy and Alt. Either one will make me happy. If neither of them is the choice I'll be OK with any of Penix, Daniels or Maye. Lastly, a good to great return on trading out of the pick.
Most importantly for me is that whoever is picked, whatever they do - is merely about potential. The odds are much greater that what they do will not meet my expectations than that they will.

Well I’ve resigned myself to the notion that the pick will be a QB, even though I’m not thrilled with any of the top prospects. The new regime will feel compelled to make a ‘splash’, and that means QB.
So, getting that out of the way, what would make me happy tonight? My happiness will be deferred compensation at best. I want the guy who 3 years from now everyone believes was the best of the group at all the non-athletic requirements of the position. History tells me that’s what separates the greats from the rest.

I think they will take stick at #3 and draft Maye, and we will struggle for a few years before drafting another QB. They’re picking at the top of the draft, I think they can find the 3 starters they need (QB/LT/WR) with the first three picks even if they don’t trade back. It’s a deep offensive tackle draft and WR’s can be found in every round. |

I'm pragmatic and tonight is not the night I should be feeling happy... I should be feeling happy those nights after games in which the Patriots win and are competitive. Nothing matters until they hit the field because all the signing and drafting of players mean bupkiss if they do not perform. For now, this is a paper team even after draft day. Let's see results on the field and not on paper. True, a "good draft" may be promising and please some here. I look at all the posts so far and opinions vary so much here as to what will make anyone happy. So, why go through draft day angst? I just hope the managment of the team does a good job because once the draft is over, it is all up to the players and that is the biggest x factor there is.

I just don't get it with McCarthy. Nothing would ruin this draft for me more than reaching for him at #3. Feel free to quote me 3 years from now when he's the best QB in this class  |

There seems to be a huge range on where the top 6 qb's rank. The 1 important thing we don't know is how the pats rank them compared to each other and compared to brissett. The one thing they can't do is pick a player at 3 and get it wrong. If they are not sure their qb choices at 3 have a franchise qb for the next decade....I mean sure, then trade down. For every top 100 pick they add in this draft or the next it lessens the pain of getting no3 wrong. I know the draft is a crap shoot, but 1 pick at 3 has allot more risk then 2 or 3 or more top 100 picks. If your not convinced you have the right guy, I mean certain, then trade down and get more choices to gamble on.

QB @ 3. I'm not saying there aren't scenarios where I would be happy trading out, but it would have to be an outrageous package that I don't think is going to get offered.

in all honesty, you just got to come out of the 3rd pick (or 6 or 11 or whatever if you trade back) with your qb for the next 10 plus years. regardless of who that is, doesnt matter to me. just get that guy. my personal preferences would be jj, maye, daniels.... but i like all 3 of them and dont think any of them are way better than the other 2. i also realize its highly unlikely that all 3 or even 2 of those 3 are going to end up being good qbs... i dont know jack lol and am fine admitting that haha. i just hope that the pats staff has done their due diligence on all these guys and have come to a decision by this morning as to who is their guy amongst those 3... and they trust the work they have put in in their evaluations on these guys, and take their guy... and then we all, including them, just have to cross our fingers (obviously the pats brass will be doing more than just crossing their fingers after drafting the guy lol) that it works out.

I think the key may be Harrison. AZ is taking him at 4. If anyone else wants him they will have to jump AZ. Then we can get the “bag”. Man that sounds so stupid.

What will make me happy tonight?
1. No reaches
2. Don't feel pressured to grab a QB unless it's a kid you have highly rated. Don't settle.
3. No safeties from the south dakota school of mines
4. IF a monster deal is presented to you..take it. We have a competent QB to lead us this year in Brisket and this is a build that we need to take a 2-3 year view on. IF you get a monster deal, make sure 1st round picks are in it for next year and year after as well. Set yourself up for a 2-3 year run of killer drafts. If said deal is presented, I would still look to take a QB later based on who is there and falls.
5. Add an LT
6. Add a WR

Alt and Penix or Fashanu and Penix would make me very happy! After reading and watching videos of the QB's over the past couple of months I'm still a bit torn. I don't see a sure fire guy even though one or two of them could very well be a future HOF QB. If I had to pick one between Williams, Daniels, Maye, McCarthy, Penix and Nix I'd take Penix. Just love his arm, maturity, hand size and can still run if he needs to. Age makes no difference to me when drafting a QB. If you think he's the guy and could be your franchise QB for 10+ years then who cares if he's 24. I remember a guy that started when he was 24 and played here for almost 20 years (his name escapes me at the moment  ). With that said, whoever they do end up drafting I'll root for unless he turns out to be a complete nincompoop |

I hear you and read about his injuries and even though they're two major injuries, I guess it just doesn't worry me that much. He's been healthy the past two years. If he was a RB or WR then maybe I'd be more concerned and this might sound strange but if he was always missing games with injuries like hamstrings, sprains and concussions, ect. and always in and out of the lineup, that would actually worry me more.
I do agree at pick 3 though it would be best to trade back a little to get more picks and then take him since I haven't heard any rumors or seen him mocked that early anywhere.
