There were multiple reports Panthers loved the kid and pats still traded back at 98 knowing panthers had pick 100...lol at thinking the patriots were seriously considering him. 

They was going to pick him at 101. They moved out of spot after we picked him, it was pretty obvious.

If they really wanted him they would’ve just picked him at 98 instead of trading back to pick up a 6th round pick. Clearly valued the 6th more than Grier.

I believe it. My Pats fan friends were legit shocked/pissed when we picked him. They were expecting to get him in the third. Belichick doesn't flinch during the draft, and probably thought we'd draft someone else there like the rest of us did. I doubt he felt he needed to trade up or pick early to beat us out. Besides, Kraft and Brady would have run Grier out of town the way they did Garoppolo, so he was probably not sweating the pick that hard anyway.

    • yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.   
    • Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it. 
    • You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
