In real life, this would scream trade down with Carter gone and only one QB left and it being the best one. But I'm gonna pick to keep things moving.
The Patriots select Mason Graham, DT, Michigan Has a team ever been this hilariously bad in the trenches on both sides of the ball? Fourth-worst pressure rate, dead last in sacks—yeah, that’s not exactly a winning formula. So, we’re gonna do the safe, sober, un-sexy thing: grab one of the top defensive line prospects, pair him with a returning Barmore and a developing White, and just hope we can finally build a dominant unit somewhere on this roster.
I think there's 3-4 blue chips in the draft, 3 just went and the 4th i am just not going to take at 5 lol. Figured with 1 QB left on the board I might as well see if anyone bites
Will Johnson narrative is really interesting to me. Brugler has him #13 on his big board and Jeremiah’s 1.0 mock had him at #15. The people who are best sourced seem to be signaling that he isn’t viewed as the top 5 pick blue chipper that he was assumed to be at the start of the season. Maybe that’ll bounce back if he has a great combine
it’s very possible - I wonder if it’s around lingering injury concern by front offices (may actually cause a drop) or just not being top of mind because of an injury (probably just a news cycle thing moreso than a true “issue”)
