CJY2k Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 On Wednesday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported the New York Jets are among the teams with a pick within the top 10 who are "fully aware of the Patriots' affinity for Mayfield." CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora previously noted the Pats' acquisition of the No. 23 overall pick to go along with their No. 31 selection was "all about a quarterback." He also suggested the team has an eye on moving up to take Mayfield. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2768534-patriots-draft-rumors-new-england-has-affinity-for-baker-mayfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I look at a lot of this and I'm like some teams are just trying to drive up the price of QBs because they know their divisional opponents are looking to draft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give out rumour we're thinking of moving up for a qb. Jets move makes this even more logical and more pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick could care less about the future of the franchise and wants to WIN NOW with Brady. Moving up to draft a rookie QB that'll play when he's no longer the coach does him no good and is a crap shoot. He's hoping to force someone's hand to move up and take their QB so a defense stud or a LT falls into his lap. Jedi mind tricks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleAndHungry Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Ppl give the patriots far too much credit . They struck gold by taking a flyer on a 6th round qb who maybe wouldn't have had the same early success if Bledsoe hadn't gotten injured. He ends up being the greatest qb of all time. Brady is the engine that makes the patriots go. Now all of a sudden they are Jedi masters with personnel moves. None of this happens without Brady . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 hahaha. If they do this, watch Brady and Gronk retire. No way the Pats***** trade both 1st for a QB. Likely they draft a plug and play player, and a QB with the later pick (Kyle L. most likely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd theyre being groomed to take over, but yes he has 2 sons on his coaching staff. IIRC one coaches safeties and the other is some type of defensive assistant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats make moves for guys like Jaire Alexander, Roquan Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, Edmunds, Landry, Chubb if they can get that far up and then draft a QB in round 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 19 minutes ago, CJY2k said: more like this Not at all. Buffalo is in a much better position to land one of the top QBs in the draft than New England is. Both of our 1st round picks are higher than the Pats (one is much higher). If it's true the Bills couldn't get a team to fall back to #21 and #22, then the Pats are going to have even more trouble getting a team to fall back to #23 and #31... Plus we have more draft capital in general. I don't see much possibility that they could beat out the Bills in a trade up if both teams were actually serious about doing so. I dont see the Patriots actually trying to trade to the top of the draft anyway. If anything maybe they try and trade into the teens somewhere to grab a QB (but chances are they'll just use 1 pick on a QB and groom him like they did Garoppolo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlonce Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Doesn’t matter who they like. They are way too far back to move up enough to get Mayfield. Possibly Rudolph, but who cares what he wants. His two late firsts and seconds are nothing like ours. He will draft defense and an O lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamsnoops Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I don't think New England touches a QB in the first 2 rounds. They need some players and can get some good talent with those 4 picks. If they draft one earlier I believe Brady's end is coming sooner than what's lead to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 My prediction ... Belicheat wants 23. Mike McGlinchey - OT - Notre Dame 31. Dallas Goeddert - TE - South Dakota State They need to replace their master of holding at LT and their cheap shot artist TE has started talking retirement. Once you start talking retirement you're already mentally retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why couldn't they just draft a lower rated QB who the genius Belichick can coach up to all pro----using the over rated Patriot way. I could care less what the Patriots do I'm interested in what the new staff does---can they surpass the Patriots & start winning the AFC East, playoffs SB, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I've seen it said somewhere, that there aren't that many true 'top end' talents in this draft, and not enough for a whole first round full of them. Could well be a move just to make sure they get a top tier guy with their first round pick. Fwiw, it was being said in the same article about the talent levels, that there was plenty of it of 2nd/3rd round quality, so it isn't necessarily a poor class, at all. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me, remember where I saw this, but I think it came when I was searching for where the best positional depth was in this draft.

I heard Gil Brandt say it yesterday.
