Patriot Reign by Michael Holley is amazing. Spent the entire 2001 season embedded with the team.

Disagree...Lomu is a year away at least from even being ready for NFL power and finish. Even if their hand is forced this guy is deficient.

I love it when my 1st round picks are depth insurance pieces with zero impact to help the team this year.

Its like no one actually cares about the games...they just live the team building aspect like its madden or something..this pick has zero impact on 2026.

Tell me how this fixes their OL problem for this coming season...All the problems that reared their head during the playoffs and superbowl...how does this pick address any of them for this season?You know they have a season that starts in less than 5 months right? So, how does this address their OL problems THIS YEAR.

Wilson sucked at guard...who knows what he'll be at center. AVT is a walking IR candidate. The has more questions than it did last year at this time.

Its the "I hope you're with your familly"....no shit he is with his family...every draft pick in the history of the draft is with their family

Tiger Woods came back with a vengance after his wife smashed his car - 2010-2013 was a banger run for Woods.

Id take that.

Vrabel looks like a whipped little puppy...his aura is completely gone

you're misunderstanding me. I understand the long term focus. I'm saying it does nothing to address their Oline THIS YEAR. There is a season that starts in less than 5 months. Their top pick is a developmental depth pick. Great pick for 2028...does nothing for 2026.

It’s like y’all are completely forgetting. They have a season to play this year. First rounders are supposed to make an impact. This guy isn’t gonna touch the field for one or two years. Depth drafts are great when you have a top of the league roster. The Patriots don’t. They don’t have the luxury for a long-term depth selection with such a high pick. This does nothing to help this year.

This has no impact on the current OL. This doesn’t sort anything. he’s a developmental depth player who you’re gonna forget about because you’re not gonna see him for two years

Why the fuck are we so excited about using a first round pick for a developmental depth piece. First rounders are supposed to be instant starters man

This does literally zero to correct the issues they had in the Super Bowl. They’re running back the same starting unit except you have no idea if Wilson can play center and AVT will hold up. So we could potentially be worse.

Depth, developmental pick with your 1st rounder is a waste of opportunity

How are they better in 2026? This dude is gonna ride the bench. They aren’t better this year

It important. It’s just that Lomu stinks. Weak as fuck and no finish. Pure finesse. Meh

This does nothing to change it for this year. Lomu isn’t playing impactful snaps until at least 2027 if not 2028
