NE area Giants fans... any talk of Pats with Alt or WR?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/21/2024 4:08 pm
Looking at New England's roster, aside from QB, left tackle and WR are glaring needs.

As there been any talk that they may look to trade down to get Alt or one of the wideouts?
if they dont take QB they are going marv

thinks it's QB or trade down. Daniels, Maye or McCarthy in that order.

and that thought is pretty common among most beat writers.

new regime though, so I think people are guessing. No history or tendencies or track record to know if they are blowing smoke or sharing truthfully.

Eliot Wolf has been in NE but he hasn't ran a draft and Mayo is a 1st time head coach.
Majority of reporting says QB

There is a handful of discussions about trading back and getting WR. Eliot Wolf tried to talk up the current wideouts but that is largely seen as media speak.

I haven’t heard much about them and Alt. Wolf again talked about resigning Onwenu and was reminding people they signed Okarafor from Pittsburgh who had played both tackle positions.

But again focus seems to be on QB w/ WR or T is round 2. Some interesting articles about Eliot being Assistant GM in Cleveland when they drafted Baker over all of the other QBs and what he learned from that.
They all

Want Maye
I listen/watch alot of Boston sports reporters.

They (the reporters) like the idea of a trade down, for the very reasons you gave. The Pats have more holes than us, more than anyone.

But they all think they'll stay at 3 and take a QB because (1) Kraft wants one and really needs one to revive interest in a team that doesn't have much going for it; and (2) the front office is not truly independent, and is not gonna buck what the Krafts want.
A lot of fans want Alt or JJM

Then I'd lean to them taking JJM over Maye, as it sounds like Kraft is in full bloom love with JJM.

i’m here in the same thing up here also. I have a feeling they are going after McCarthy..
The Boston sports media was quite perplexed

when they took Michael PenIx Jr. out to dinner.
Yep lots of QB talk. Kraft wants a QB . Sounds like Mara  
Blue21 : 4/21/2024 5:24 pm : link
He says he ll leave it up to his people. The difference is Kraft is pushing for a QB whereas Mara sounds more indifferent. If staff wants a QB he won't stop them if they make their case. I don't think Wolfe has to make a case for it Kraft wants it.
I work in Boston  
clarkie02360 : 4/21/2024 5:24 pm : link
media and there’s little chance the Pats will trade out, they are taking a QB. Kraft won’t have it any other way.

Cousins in NH all think Pats take JJM. Apparently Kraft is pushing that.

1. CW BEARS
2. JD COMMIES
3. JJM NE
4. MAYE NYG
5. MHJ CHARGERS
6. NABERS CARDINALS

That's how I see that going
That's another potential reason for smoke about JJM:  
BleedBlue46 : 4/21/2024 5:30 pm : link
If Schoen has a deal with AZ and he wants Maye, then pushing the JJM narrative could play into his hand by having NE take JJM at 3 rather than trying to be cute with a trade down then trade up.
I feel like Penix will look like the best of the bunch for a while  
BleedBlue46 : 4/21/2024 5:31 pm : link
If he goes to Minnesota.
wr?
