Coiuple of mocks I have seen have Patriots snagging Jake Fromm just ahead of Pittsburgh, at pick 100 (Steelers then grab an edge rusher)

I'd be OK wither way but I like Fromm.  Could be we are OK with Rudolph anyway.

Steelers get Highsmith

I like what I see.

Kentucky QB/WR would have been perfect for Giants - but the UCONN kid is a beast eh?

[kiidcarter8]

Giants also need a LB, no?

Giants also need a LB, no?

They do but they should keep building the offense.  C and WR.  Invest in Daniel Jones.

watching the draft the first couple of days was more entertaining than I thought, of course my point of refererence this year in quarantine might skew my POV.

in any case BB was playing checkers jumping trading down and out of the first, but trading up and down in the 2nd and 3rd, all to find some incremental value or prove he's the smartest guy on Nantucket I think he was a little bored too. The shot of his dog manning (Eli?) his computer cracked me up. BB enjoys trolling us.

I think the takeaways from the Pats draft so far is that BB thinks a tough fast D can win and poses the questions do you really need a star QB? If a dog can do BB's job, can a dog do a GOAT''s?

Seems he's going to give Stidham a chance to grow into the job, or put himself or his pooch in the position of drafting a QB next year.

Stay healthy and stay home.

Add TE Thaddeus Moss (Randy's Kid) as an UDFA

[Hairy Lime]

True fact of interest only to me: in signing UDFA Brian Lewerke, the New England Patriots now have the first and the last quarterback of Mark Dantonio's tenure at MSU. Both named Brian.

FILICE: Palace intrigue in Titletown!

By now, you've heard all the juicy anecdotes surrounding Green Bay's stunning, STOP-THE-PRESSES selection of Love. But let's quickly review, because the drama here runs thick:

-- On draft day, Aaron Rodgers shared his Round 1 wishes with former punter/current sports talker Pat McAfee: "We haven't picked a skill player in the first round in 15 years, so that would be kind of cool." The Packers responded by ... trading up to draft his eventual replacement.
-- Of Rodgers' 364 career touchdown passes, exactly one has landed in the hands of a first-round pick. ( A 1-yard toss this past December to Marcedes Lewis, a former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.)
-- Supreme Packers scribe Bob McGinn offered his thoughts on the sitch in a piece on The Athletic after the draft: Public niceties aside, my sense is (head coach Matt) LaFleur, fresh from a terrific 13-3 baptismal season, simply had enough of Rodgers' act and wanted to change the narrative. With a first-round talent on the roster, the Packers would gain leverage with their imperial quarterback and his passive-aggressive style.
-- Supreme Packers icon Brett Favre offered his thoughts on the sitch in an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show after a conversation with Rodgers: " Tom Brady, and myself, Joe Montana and Peyton Manning, just to name a few, finished their career elsewhere. ... I think you're going to see that trend more and more, and I think Aaron will finish somewhere else."

Well alright! Now, to Rodgers' credit, Love said the two-time league MVP reached out to him on Friday to offer congratulations. Good on Rodgers. But you have to imagine he's absolutely livid right now -- and it's hard to blame him. The Pack spent their second-round pick on a hulking power back and their third-rounder on an H-back, while failing to snag a single receiver in a draft class that's purportedly historically deep at the position. Is Green Bay becoming ... a run-first operation? When you add everything up, it's impossible not to be utterly obsessed with the ...
