Tom Pelissero - On the Patriots #3

It’s possible McCarthy is the pick at 3. It’s confusing and hard to explain all the craziness of the day. Maye could be available at 4.

No, Chargers appear to be taking an OT.

We can go Benson or WR at 47. WR or Corum at 70. So many opportunities to transform this offense.

I would love it, but i still worry we pass on JJM, which would be a mistake in my perspective.

Imagine this happening and then the giants select Odunze.

One of the reasons why I'd stop talking to the Pats.

Not sure why the Vikings wouldn't trade up with the Chargers at #5 for McCarthy they seem like good trade partners.

I'm fine with Odunze. I'm fine with a trade down (as long as they get a lot). I'm VERY FINE with McCarthy at six.

I just wouldn't. I'd call their bluff on that and deal with the Cardinals instead, just like I said all morning. +1

assumes passivity from Vikes

Our Vikes asshat says they are not all in on McCarthy.

No matter what

I'm not assuming that all. I've talked about it all day.

Could happen if they only want Maye

They have guys who can get vertical in Jefferson and Addison.

Who is the best long ball thrower in this draft?

Penix.

All reports earlier were that they wanted JJMC>Maye. So was literally every source wrong? So now NYG either play a freaking bidding war against Minnesota for 4 or 5 for McCarthy, or are just saying the hell with QB and taking a wideout instead? If I’m forced to watch Jones under center for another year, I’d rather jump off a cliff. Again, I just can't get over McCarthy's interview with Eisen....heck he even mentioned Tierney. My gut tells me QB.

Giants might of tried to talk themselves into him by spend extra time with him.
If I am on the fence about an interview I bring in people I trust and keep interviewing him until I feel good either way.
If you love someone it might be one round and you lock it down.
Just another prospective

So, per your logic, it’s “obvious” that Minnesota had no intention of trying to trade up within the top 6? ::eye roll::

You’ve been challenging Schoen to call NEs bluff all day. Maybe he finally did.

I don't see any tweets saying Washington is expected to take Jayden Daniels.

Would I allow NE to dictate who to take once we trade at 3. Schoen will never live that down

Not sure, but the oddsmakers certainly believe (-900) Daniels to Commanders.

Because they’ve been saying it for weeks

When we take Nabers over JJM at 6.

And more nuts when JJM slips to 8

It could 10000% be NE trying to negotiate through the media

Per reasonable logic....

(3) Why would the Patriots trade out of 3 when they need a franchise QB and a projected franchise QB is available for them

(4) AZ needs a #1 after committing to K. Murray. Why would they pass on a projected game changer for some additional 2nd round picks?

(5) Chargers got rid of both their WRs. You think their "fresh start" is passing on Nabers for additional picks?

I keep thinking of this also. For him to bring this up so confidently really had me thinking.

Hey, the owner can sell more jerseys though. And I'm sure plenty of fans will eat it up like they always do.

A new QB is selling far more jerseys than a WR

Betting odds strongly suggest chargers going OT.

Right. We're going to get a very good player if we stay at #6, or a haul if we trade down.

3 QBs then 2 WR.

even pick.

stick at 6 for a WR, or trade down.... lot's of possibilities

Hey Sean, you’ve been following this soap opera as closely as anyone on the site:
What do you project the Giants/BBI state of mind will be as of Friday AM?

Sorry for essentially asking same question again, but is that what you’re hearing or just seeing on Twitter?

WHAT!?! How do you shop the pick like they did if they're really prepared to bank their franchise on him?

Hearing.

Long story short, sit back and enjoy because no one has a clue.

If Maye gets picked,
Rico : 7:45 pm : link : reply : Delete
we probably won't trade up.

Pelissero just said that the league sources expect it is Maye. I think Maye is still a chance.

@JordanRaanan
With New England seemingly not willing to move out of No. 3, attention now shifts to J.J. McCarthy or WR at pick 6 for the Giants.

Fingers crossed they don’t. I can’t have my emotions toyed with like this haha.

is fine. Do not trade our precious future high round picks.

The Patriots must have tried squeezing Schoen for more picks after they perhaps had a tentative deal, thus the reports from the asshats earlier today.

That the fans will “love the guy they take at 3”, so I’m think a trade up is likely dead. Maybe their guy is JJM but seems like the media is assuming it’s Maye.

It's looking like I was wrong and the Patriots are staying at 3 to take Drake Maye. I'm sorry and I love you guys. I hope I can work to earn your trust back. Based on the intel I was getting that's what it looked like was going to happen. #fraudalert

Gonna need a postmortem from the asshats on what changed. Gut says Kraft got involved and told FO not to get cute or something to that effect
