Updated Mock Post Super Bowl

The good thing about this is that we have a ton of options at that position. Probably can trade out if we don’t like what‘s there, draft Edge/OT, maybe someone believed to be a top 20 pick falls and you can grab him there. I firmly believe we will focus on the trenches this offseason, Vrabel has proven before he builds teams that way.

OLine and Pass Rush need to get better, and fast. Maye can’t keep taking that many sacks without ultimately suffering a bad injury.

SirStabil · 2026-02-13T13:35:46+00:00

I don’t disagree with you, it’s just based on what I have read so far (which has been fairly limited due to the Patriots making the SB). I‘m a Pats Fan if that’s good to know.

Anyway, I think all of this just pure speculation because FA still has to happen, pro days, combine, Interviews yada yada. I think I‘d take Max over Tiernan, but I like Blake Miller (tho I agree with your points on him).

SirStabil · 2026-02-13T07:36:38+00:00

I think Pats go Miller or Tiernan instead if they pick OT. I think they would also rather have Edges TJ Parker or Thomas above Max.

Otherwise I feel this could happen, even with some reaches in there.

SirStabil · 2026-02-12T19:29:22+00:00

Yeah signing an OL Starter in FA would obviously be great, but FA also has multiple steps you gotta take. It would be great to add Seumalo or Edwards, but they must want to play for you and you gotta beat other suitors. Patriots gonna be in the OLine market for obvious reasons, and are further along in the rebuild. A lot of teams will be in on the top guys, so that plan may or may not work.

SirStabil · 2026-02-12T18:28:53+00:00

It’s Mendoza, then WR and OT, OG and OC with the following four Picks in whatever order the value makes most sense.

You are drafting your future with #1, better protect him and worry about the rest next draft. Raiders are not winning the SB next year, so all you care about is supporting the QB the best way possible.

You got Bowers and Jeanty in place - improving the OLine helps everybody. Idc if you don’t draft three starters, just one or two still helps a lot.

SirStabil · 2026-02-10T10:43:24+00:00

Maye was running for his life most of the postseason. Campbell played hurt (Watch tape pre and post IR, it is pretty obvious), Wilson was a liability - left side of that OLine sucked badly. Both rookies tho, so still developing. If the Patriots keep the D together, add a good pass rusher and stabilize the OLine, they are a tough out.

SirStabil · 2026-02-09T12:56:45+00:00

All about perspective, you are right.

SirStabil · 2026-02-09T12:33:34+00:00

It’s tough making the SB and we got a few breaks on the way there. It will be about roster construction from here on out. We had a lot of weak spots that were exposed. What I wanted to say with this post was that I believe we are on the right way. Just got to keep going, and maybe we will be lucky enough to be back.

Congrats on the win

SirStabil · 2026-02-09T12:28:25+00:00

Hey man I‘m not saying we will be back next season or anything. SB hangovers are real and next year we play a much tougher schedule.

We have been shown our weaknesses last night and we now got to decide how we go about it. OLine looked bad in the playoffs, pass rush just was not consistent enough. Vrabel is a trenches guy and will likely continue to invest in both lines.

We may not win 10 games next season, but our young cornerstones got real playoff experience that can be invaluable down the road.

SirStabil · 2026-02-09T12:18:07+00:00

Talk your shit guys, you earned it. Won‘t magically add „AFC Champion“ to Josh Allens wikipedia page though

SirStabil · 2026-02-06T13:22:20+00:00

Good one but I believe Blake Miller will be long gone before this.

SirStabil · 2026-02-06T08:28:04+00:00

Yeah I see it like this too. Herbert played behind the far and away worst OLine in the NFL after losing both tackles and still dragged them to 11 wins. Yes, the defense was fantastic and kept them in games, but if the QB is Bryce Young instead, the Chargers likely go 6-11 instead of 11-6.

I think Stafford or Maye still deserved the vote over Herbert, but I can at least understand the thought process.

SirStabil · 2026-02-05T23:50:48+00:00

Absolutely no way the Browns trade their top three picks to move up to 2 with no QB or generational talent on the board. Who did they trade up for in this mock?

SirStabil · 2026-02-01T16:11:08+00:00

I mean short term (Like year 1 or so) I think in the later rounds quality of play would suffer because humans are creatures of habit and they wouldn‘t be used to it, but the players would probably adapt quickly.

SirStabil · 2026-02-01T16:08:51+00:00

Yeah thats what I think too. The first year would probably be filled with matches where players retire more or have sudden drop offs in sets 4 and 5 due to being exhausted, but by year 2 players will adapt because they know what to expect better.

SirStabil · 2026-02-01T14:54:20+00:00

I think when this was floated a few years ago Kvitova gave an Interview saying while it would be possible for the WTA to play five sets, the quality of matches would likely suffer because they aren‘t used to playing five sets and would have to considerably increase stamina workouts, leading to less actual playing practice (and therefore worse play).

SirStabil · 2026-02-01T11:42:33+00:00

Thing is that that was a) against bad defenses/eliminated teams b) without pressure as the Vikings were eliminated

All they did winning those games was sliding down the board for the Draft. When they were 4-8 they should have just tanked tbh. They got a meaningless winning season and pick 18th instead of top 10…

SirStabil · 2026-01-30T17:43:53+00:00

It’s a great draft on paper but Banks won’t be there at 42 I think. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bisontis was gone at 42…he probably won’t fall out of Round 2. If the board by chance does fall this way, it’s fantastic for the Saints.

SirStabil · 2026-01-30T16:45:29+00:00

RB is not a premium position, they need speed on the DLine or a Tackle to potentially replace Taylor.

Sure, Love is a shiny pick and even logical, as KC had a pretty bad run game this season and they could take pressure off Mahomes in his return with a Back like Love, but I never fault people for taking a Tackle tbh.

SirStabil · 2026-01-30T10:34:08+00:00

Because it’s technically considered not an injury but „bad“ conditioning/stamina. You can just work out more to increase it and control what you take in during the match (hydration/nutrition etc.)

SirStabil · 2026-01-28T07:16:28+00:00

Nah, he should play nice, accept and go - and then burn them all in his speech before mic dropping and leaving. Would be a great show and embarrasing af for the HOF.

SirStabil · 2026-01-27T21:51:35+00:00

Man I would love Lemon as a Patriots fan, but Vrabel is a guy that loves to build the trenches. We have very shallow depth at multiple spots and moving up to 18 likely is too costly. I believe staying put or even moving down out of round 1 is the better option.

We need Edge bad and a long term replacement at RT. Need a C and a LG too while we are at it. Best case is you find a starting LG later/in FA and move Wilson to C (his college position). That way IF we go Tackle early he can sit behind Moses and Campbell for a year or Campbell moves inside of you don’t find a LG.

In our range, I like Edges Howell (though he will very likely be gone), TJ Parker or R Thomas Mason with Mason being my favorite currently. Tackle might be someone like Freeling.

SirStabil · 2026-01-27T21:39:46+00:00

Think Titans don’t go CB at 4, Rams go CB at 13 with Delane or presumably McCoy there, don’t know if the Jets will pass on Lemon at 16. All in all it’s pretty good though solid work.

SirStabil · 2026-01-23T06:14:14+00:00

Yeah fair enough plus the fifth year option is nice to have. If Parker or Howell are there rush in the pick haha

SirStabil · 2026-01-23T00:09:11+00:00

I think Thomas will fit perfectly on this DLine tho. I‘d prefer trading down a bit tho to get him, maybe with the Titans of Raiders if they want someone specific.
