joewilly12 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Brandin Cooks never seemed to be comfortable in that system he lacked the big time catches he was known for, maybe he's injured. The DEMISE in NE continues.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Kyle Lauletta May Be the Real Leader of This Year's NFL Draft Quarterback Class MIKE TANIERAPRIL 3, 2018 Butch Dill/Associated Press Let's start by addressing the elephant in the room: Kyle Lauletta is an FCS phenom and offseason all-star whose resume looks a lot like Jimmy Garoppolo's if you don't dig too far. He played lacrosse in addition to football in high school. Both his father (a quarterback) and uncle (a punter) played at Navy, where Bill Belichick's father, Steve Belichick, served as a scout and assistant coach. Lacrosse? Navy ties? Garoppolo similarities? We might as well pencil Lauletta in as a Patriots draft pick and heir apparent to Tom Brady, right? Lauletta won't turn that opportunity down by any means. But he isn't buying the narrative, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Cook has good (not great) stats but he also played with Brady and Brees. Not sure he’s worth a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm amazed they got that pick from the Rams. I guess they can't afford Beckham so this was their solution. Surprised because I'm not sure Cooks is really worth more than any of the WRs the could have gotten there. They seem all-in for this year though.

Jetsplayer21 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 If they trade gronk before draft, they will have plenty of ammunition to trade up pretty much anywhere if they want. Barkley would be nasty for them. And for us. I know bellicheat is pissed he had to give away garrapollo for peanuts, wonder if he is looking to draft another protege. Brady is rumored to retire in 2 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Beckham isn't Ram bound. Rams are looking pretty legit. Shocked the Rams gave up a 1 for Cooks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting indeed. The Patriots now have the 2 1st round picks it would take to acquire OBJ from the Giants . This would also give the Giants 3 1st round picks in this draft and the ability to wheel and deal if they so choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 They can probably get clavin ridley and one of the top tight ends in the 1st down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots could use him to cement Brady and Beli's legacy and do what they did with Cooks . 1 year rental . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move makes them less competitive I strongly disagree. 1st rounders have the 5th round option which makes them significantly more valuable. Hit on the first pick in the 2nd round and you are looking at an unrestricted FA after 4 years - for example Landon Collins next offseason. Giants are going to have to ante up next year. Meanwhile, guys picked in the 1st like Byron Jones are subject to the teams's 5th year option and are more easily traded - like Marcus Peters or Odell Beckham.

Brady willl be retired time giants could even dream of getting competitive for another run. Most teams do like to trade their stars to opposing leagues, which would be an afc team for giants ?

Well sounds like the draft picture is pretty clear inside the NFL circles 1 Allen 2 Darnold 3 Mayfield so Pats basically trick Dorsey into Gronk maybe at 4?

Gangrene Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Rosen makes sense. I wonder if Belichick would take Lamar Jackson? Not your typical Belichick qb but I bet explosive in New England. New England has interviewed Johnny Manziel twice, before and after his recent throwing sessions. It's all bizarre plotting from the Dark One. Damn, Belichick finding Brady's successor is a nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
