I've seen a few similar Tweets and headlines over the last few weeks. Could just be due diligence in case there's a slide but after this aggressive offseason maybe a rare trade up will happen too...
I wonder if either AFC East team (Fins/Jets) would be willing to trade with NE so they could grab a top QB. My immediate reaction would be several words I can't say here followed by "NOOOO!!!!!". Equally interesting is that the Jags won't be there...that's a major sign that Lawrence is still #1 overall. I do think that's the right decision as well but surprised that they're not at least taking a look.
I would say that the Pats getting a QB is borderline next to impossible. Like you said, if I am the Jets or the Phins, there is no way I would even answer the phone. Even if Miami or the Jets kept their pick, and drafted other positions, I could not see teams wanting to deal with NE. They are too far down in the draft to make this work. I think the Pats are in real trouble. They just overpaid for a ton of guys, and really only got a few good players, they are not going to be able to get a QB this year, and next year is gonna be a weak QB class. I don't see how their problems get fixed.
With the trades that just went down the top QB's are not going to be there when they pick unless they move up.
I believe that literally every team had people attending Wilson's pro day, so the Pats having scouts there isn't meaningful in any way. IMO they will have a shot at like Mac Jones if they like him, but they will probably have to trade up to 7 with Detroit to do it. Failing that, it's try for Trask in round 2 or someone else later in the draft. Let Cam start the year until he gets hurt or blows, and then hope for lighting to catch.
Unless the Falcons totally ignore the trade value chart, New England doesn't have enough capital in the entire draft to move up to #4. Atlanta would probably demand two future firsts and a couple of 2nd or 3rd round picks. Even with New England's robust free agency, that ain't happenin' my friends.
