I'm still holding on to a small conspiracist thought that all the late JJ McCarthy smoke has been a series of lies by multiple GMs trying to con other teams into panicking and trading up for him, and that he actually ends up sliding further than expected.

More likely that some GM does turn out to be that stupid and he goes early though. It'll be a good early preview for which team is going to be looking in the top 5 picks for a new QB 2-3 years from now.

I'm talking about development and all that. The smart thing for the Patriots to do is get a haul and back out.

depends on their internal projections. If they like a QB they should take him if he's available. It's the most important position by a mile. "Lets trade down because we suck at developing QBs and will ruin him" is not really a thing teams are going to say or do, especially not when they've hired a new head coach and want to give him a chance.

Maye is a better fit with the Pats because they can sit him for a year behind briskett.

I think if any team pushes Maye to start immediately that he'll be out of the league before his second contract. He needs a year to sit and develop.

McCarthy can probably start, but he won't be amazing the first year even in the best situation. Best case he's a more careful Mac Jones in his first year.

I hope Mr. Snead decides to stay at 19 or move up to grab Odunze. If we fall back and and get something nice for the haul I'll be happy with that but still want to stay in the first round. Taking a QB or trading out of the round would be the only way they can disappoint me today.

Absolutely. I think he needs to sit and watch for most of the season. Same with McCarthy. I know there's pressure from fanbases to start early first round QBs sooner than later, but it pays to be patient with those guys so that they don't struggle right out of the gate.

It's a long shot, but hope Daniels ends up falling instead of Maye. But if they don't believe in Maye/Daniels with #3 and decide to stick and pick someone else (like JJ), that's just bad management of the pick.

Either way, it's going to be interesting what kind of offer they end up getting as I don't think they even consider anything until they are on the clock (unless they get some stupid offer before the draft, which doesn't make sense since for any team trading up (ie Vikes/Giants) could get blindsided if Washington throws a wrench into the whole thing and drafts Maye in the end).

Not sure what the pats do. One of the talking heads said the situation kinda sucks due to the power vacuum left by Bill with a like 3 higher ups sons having high level jobs/influence. Kraft and his son want to draft a QB. Another son of a higher up wants to trade back. The GM doesnt want to take a QB but may draft a QB to please Kraft since he has to re interview after the draft. There's another son of a higher up involved as well.

I heard that they want to change things from how they were done the past 20 + years, which means taking a QB high. Not trading back over and over and taking a more developmental guy. Kraft's son is heavily involved so let's see.

Yes they need a lot, all the teams picking at the top do, but QB is the most important. Makes sense to take Maye or JJ, whichever they like best, and then building around them.

Yeah, like at least Daboll has experience with building up a QB. Mayo though?

my predictions for tonight:

6 QBs go in the first
first 4 picks are QBs
Pats stay...pat...and take Maye
Minn or NY moves up to take JJ
Jets move down, take a T, and Bowers goes to Indy

Raiders Penix
Broncos trade down and take Nix

Eagles take at least 2 Georgia players

If anyone is bored and has the time could they gather all the write ups in a single post? I don't think I'll have time to do until this weekend otherwise.

Who's the best Georgia defender eagles can draft? He's probably a lock.

Include me on the Commanders fan list plz Himynameischris
Wow, draft day is finally here! Been a fun but exhausting ride (tired of media talking about the Commanders top gold visits)
Just glad the day's finally here and we find out who our next franchise QB (fingers crossed) is gonna be at 2
Will be fine with either Daniels or Maye

2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select...
Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

The new era starts now!... wait... ok, NOW! The DMV needs a QB to get behind RIGHT NOW, not someone who needs time to get ready (unless you really wanna try and sell the fanbase on Mariota). Despite all the noise, Top Golf and agent antics, I think they still take Daniels and look to try to recreate history (without the drama and injuries) from the last time they had the #2 pick. They need to make sure to protect him and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Commies trade back up in to the first for a tackle if Daniels is the pick here.
The new era starts... well, week 1... but it starts NOW!

All these guys could flop/succeed. Always depended where they went. Like if Mahomes went to CHI with Nagy. Not nearly the same realm as Reid and their organization.

JJ only has started two years (Trubisky only started 13 games, so that comparison alone earlier is just stupid and lazy), and has some things to iron out. But if he went to MIN he'd do great. I feel any QB going to the Pats is likely to struggle at least early on. Lack of playmakers and Van Pelt/Mayo, you don't know what they're doing. The Giants have the offensive mind but still need a #1.

I think that Maye, JJ or Penix would be in a better situation with the current Pats than Mac Jones was in his second and third years. I still feel bad for that kid.

Mac Jones has shown himself to be a whiny, dirty player, so I don't feel bad for him at all. He didn't get dealt a great hand, sure, but made little with what he was dealt.

The whining is whatever, QBs can tend to do it, obviously would rather less of it, but the dirty play garbage turned me off to him. You're playing the most protected position on the field and pulling that, cmon man.
