    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Imagine being a Falcon fan this offseason, your team passes on hiring the GOAT coach, signs a vet QB anyway, and then drafts Penix at #8 rather than swapping back with those teams in the mid first desperate for a QB.

    At this point if Pratt and/or Rattler go in the top 40 I will officially be unshocked.

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    Yeah, I'm fine with Jacoby taking the hits next year while Maye learns. Let him take over in '25 when they've finally got a stable OL.

    I'm not sure whether that or Penix at 8 is the bigger shocker.

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    It was released earlier than that, as a “bootleg” record. Of course it later turned out to be a case of the record company screwing over the band. But Live At The Boston Tea Party is seriously one of the great live albums ever recorded. That version of Jumping At Shadows is hauntingly beautiful.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Bold prediction, that happens and NE ends up dealing the NYG pick for more picks including the pick that turns into the first pick in the 2026 draft.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    I deliberately make no predictions on that score.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    Minnesota gives up a draft haul to pick Maye at #3 and JJM lasts to #11 for New England. And he makes everyone forget about the Mac Jones era.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    I don’t think anyone’s comparing their builds and I completely agree with you as regards Daniels as a runner. We just mean that JD’s value is tied up in his running ability and not his passing. But I’ve continuously made the point that he’s a very reckless runner for that build.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think a bigger issue might be that Daniels (and McCarthy) might just be guys that need a lot of help around them to be effective, whereas a guy like Williams elevates the quality of your receiving corps by himself. A team like the Vikings might be better suited to carry those two guys than a...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I'm with you on this, I've warmed on Maye due to age (there's at least the chance he can outgrow the Favrian tendencies), but I'm still sour on the other two. I can see Daniels RGIIIing his way out of the league. That's where I am, build out the infrastructure to the extent that a Penix type...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Until Boston sent out the reserves to play the last four games, they were 62-16, which would be the same winning percentage. And the Celtics did that without cherry-picking games.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Maye, maybe. Daniels? Well, he’d be QB1 next year. But I’d also make the remark that being QB1 in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Daniels’s only elite trait is his running/speed. But he runs very recklessly as a very skinny QB who, due to age and frame, is unlikely to ever get big enough to...

    4/16/24 - Sandman v. The Lover of Epstein?

    Signed, Epstein’s Mom.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Except that unless they’re lucky the Pats really don’t. Being the third best in QB in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Caleb Williams has a good chance to be elite. I’m warming on the thought that Maye might be able to do it. The other two? I just don’t see it. They’re far closer to Jalen Hurts...
