I wouldnt say he isnt flashy. Was part of a shanahan style scheme and Mike McCarthy he can pull his knowledge from multiple sources and experiences. Always good. Hes an established Coordinator and will most likely not search a HC job. For me he is the best possible pick up we could make espacilly because of his experience with coachings QB's

No reason to throw a rookie QB right into the fire. Brady, Rodgers, Love and Mahomes all sat for their first season plus some. Draft a QB, let him sit behind say Brissette who's familiar with Van Pelt's system for a season or so. They'll need time to gather talent around him. Your not "wasting" a season. The rookie can sit, observe and learn.

I would take Maye or Daniels and also trade up for a receiver or Tackle in the late 1st round, then draft either receiver or tackle on the top of the 2nd round. Let’s build a good nucleus this year, then even if does not go welll we have a nucleus to add good draft picks to next year. This includes re signing Onwenyu and Henry.

This all points to them trying to save Mac Jones. Their not drafting a QB their taking MHJ if they don't trade back. They may grab one in the second round but this is Kraft wanting to make the QB he drafted work. It was the Krafts that wanted MJ not BB. This is going to be a disaster.

@johnmitchell4769 5 ай бұрын

Probably the best they could get. Think about it, what would be the draw to bring a top OC candidate to NE? Brand new HC with no track record, you're following in the shadows of a 20 year dynasty so fan expectations are high, and you have minimal talent on offense. No real starting QB, a very poor offensive line and virtually no talent at WR. Not a real attractive situation for an OC. Hopefully him being an outsider will bring new energy and ideas to the organization. No way to go but up .

Just a thought... If you don't fix the O-line first - don't you think what happened recently to Mac Jones will happen to the next young QB. How many sacks did Mac/Zappe take this past season. How about knock downs, rushed passes? I say trade back to pick 6-10 please. Grab a OT and pick up another 2nd round pick. There's a beast in waiting who won't be there in round 2.

I hope the Pats draft a QB and then build the OL, WR and TE groups over the next 2 drafts and free agency periods. They can sit the rookie QB to learn and develop for a year. No sense throwing a rookie QB out there with no OL. If they draft MHJ they have no QB, OL or TEs. To draft a QB in 2025 would delay the whole process until maybe 2026-27 season. By then MHJ will be close to hitting free agency. I doubt any good QBs will choose the Pats in free agency and its not often good QBs are traded. I dont want to see a bunch of QBs who didnt work out with their first or 2nd team and the Pats hope can turn it around. We need young talent and to actually hit on drafting WRs ,OL, TEs. A franchise caliber QB is hard to get and the Pats shouldnt count on getting a top pick after next season.

Van Pelt should be someone who has the network to build a solid coaching staff for this desperate offense. I think this is an exciting rebuild, something we have not experienced around here for a couple of decades. If they hit on some free agents and draft picks, this could be a quick return to playoff contention because their defense already keeps them in games. Should be fun!
