the Pats are strange drafters, they continuously trade back, but at what point? They had two first rounders this year, and get two next year? At some point you have to draft football players, it seems to me like they don't like anyone

Also they desperately needed a pass-rusher, maybe they are looking to trade or get one through free agency- maybe why they stockpiled picks

More than one analyst has speculated that Belichick's ego has gotten to the point that he believes he could take a high school team to the Super Bowl.

As time passes, the actual truth might turn out to be that Belichick was getting too much credit and Scott Pioli not nearly enough.

Scot, I have said the same thing recently.

However I do think that the Mallett pick up was perfect for the Colts/Pats/GB/SD because there would be no calls for him to start there and he could learn how to be a pro.

I see a Matt Schaub type thing going on with Mallett.

A Pats fan I talked to on Saturday was not happy with their draft. He criticizes Belichick for stockpiling picks only to draft "scrubs" as he put it.

they really don't get the criticism other teams would get if they pulled the same poo

the only reason they get away with it is because people rarely look bad in their system

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
