NGT:Patriots Targeting Justin Fields In 2021 Draft Trade Up?

GFAN52 : 4/27/2021 9:18 am
If Fields slides and is there at 11, I wonder if DG would trade down with the Patriots.

to 11, we’ve got to take him!”
If the Patriots think someone will move ahead of them, they might.

Fields is definitely going to slide.
52

Wouldn't mind it, if we can get a 2022 1st included in a deal. :)
15th overall and a 2nd rounder for #7 in the draft?

That seems cheap.
I still think Fields might 3 to SF  
Chris684 : 4/27/2021 9:46 am : link
or 8 to Carolina.

It surprises me because he's the 2nd best QB in this draft. I think the Jets are taking a big gamble on the BYU kid over him.

It would be funny though, imagine Bill B. does get his hands on Fields and he's great, while Wilson bombs out?

That would be the most Jets thing ever. Essentially 2018 draft all over again, but instead of Buffalo getting the better QB a few slots later this time it will be the Pats. I actually hope this happens just for the laughs.
Chris Simms has Fields falling to the Bucs at number 32  
Rick in Dallas : 4/27/2021 10:46 am : link
He says he has a hitch in his throwing motion and spreads his feet too far apart upon his release. First time I have heard about these throwing flaws with Fields.

How reliable is Chris Simms in evaluating QB prospects??
The 18 scouts who McGinn interviewed never mentioned these problems nor did Sy in evaluating Fields.
CRAZY!!!

AcidTest : 4/27/2021 10:46 am : link
don't see Fields falling to #11. In fact, I think all five QBs will be gone by then.
Teams that pass on Fields  
nygiants16 : 4/27/2021 10:48 am : link
better hope they are right otherwise they are going to look really stupid when he goes to thr Pats and is their franchise QB...

Simms is horrific at analyzing QBs I think he’s a troll at this point.
Simms has a shock jock vibe to him  
AcesUp : 4/27/2021 11:19 am : link
Not to say that his opinions aren't somewhat genuine but I think he exaggerates and sensationalizes the points where he differs because that gets him attention. It's what he's paid for though so you can't hate it.

There have been a lot of people saying that the league isn't as high on Fields as the public. Whether that's related to his epilepsy, Simms' points or whatever. It wouldn't completely shock me to see him be there at 11 but I doubt he falls to 32. That's Simms exaggerating for clicks. Fields at 15 or whetever doesn't get the same attention as 32.

Ha! There's competition for most Jets thing ever.

Dan F*ing Marino was almost gift wrapped for the Jets in '83. But who needs a record smashing future HOFer, when you can have Ken O'brien. The Dolphins took Marino a few picks later.

In fairness, a lot of teams passed on Marino, including 4 that took QBs, but the Jets were near the end of the first round (so one might think the decision should've been easier with fewer options) and QB was obviously a need. Yikes.

I would hate to be a Jets fan.
The Jets had a good team in '82  
Dr. D : 4/27/2021 3:35 pm : link
Marino could've put them over the top.

Ken O'brien, not so much.
