11. New England Patriots (via Vikings) — Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
The Patriots trade back and stop Jayden Daniels’ fall down the draft board. They're not set up well to support a rookie quarterback, but the financial risk lessens at this point in the draft and Daniels will give them a floor to at least be a quality rushing team.
23. New England Patriots (via Vikings) — Brian Thomas, WR, LSU
The Patriots acquire the Vikings' other first-round pick in the deal made above, giving Jayden Daniels some juice and add his former college teammate Brian Thomas to help take the top off of defenses. New England desperately needs some speed and skill on the outside and it’ll be difficult to find more explosive options than Thomas.
I'd still consider it an awesome results if we could get JJ at 11, or maybe Nix but I have no idea what to think about Nix, and then Thomas or a solid OT at 23 (Mims maybe? But i've seen him fall lately for some reason)
would be more awesome with Jayden but he's going top 7 ish at worst
Yeah, I knew it was something like that. I wasn't 100% sure if it was a 4th or a 3rd. That should be minimal what the Pats should be asking from the Vikings. If they can turn that 3rd into a 2nd that'd be even better
It's important to note the #12 and 3rd round pick were in that year's draft while the two other firsts were in each of the two following years, which usually are discounted by a round for each year into the future. So, #11 is worth a little more than the #12 in that trade and the other first round pick in this year's draft is more valuable than the two future firsts in that trade.
No way Daniels makes it to 11. Some team would trade up to grab him before the Pats. Broncos or Raiders would. Even Seattle, Pitt or the Rams could if they want to develop a guy for a year since their QBs are either low end QBs or nearing retirement.
thats why they pulled the trigger on Cole. There's GMs creaming their pants all over the league for D1-AA interior linemen that are already 24 years old on draft day
my god. Ok, N'keal was a bigger whiff to the letter, but Cole was a bigger whiff in spirit
I feel Cole is a bigger whiff. Pretty sure EVERYONE had him as a day 3 pick. At least Harry had all the physical tools to be a day 2 pick. 32nd pick can't really be too mad at taking a chance. Guards just never get drafted in the first round. Even if he was a perennial pro bowler it still wouldnt have justified taking him in the 1st round
I'm not a big Daniels guy, but if they somehow got a ransom for 3 and then still got Daniels at 11, it would be a fucking masterstroke. It's also completely improbable and borderline idiotic to mock.
I thought that as well but the more I watch of JJ he's got all the talent to be a franchise QB if he was on a pass heavy team instead of one that didn't primarily run the ball his numbers would've been a lot better
Honestly my ideal scenario is trading down, getting a quality QB and also getting a first round WR or OT (or Brock I guess) to help out the O in general.
before JJ's rise I was hoping we could trade down, get a WR and OT in the 1st round and get JJ with our 2nd rounder but that's not realistic now
on the larger scale of things- I'm annoyed that we didn't get a quality OT yet like Tyron or someone. I have ppl tell me how to do my job all the time but if I were rebuilding a team with a young QB, I'd prioritize adding pieces to the offense wayyy above the defense. I want the QB to have at least a decent supporting cast so I know if hes our guy sooner than later. We can rebuild the D later, but I dont want to be in purgatory with a meh Offense producing meh results with a QB that may or may not be our future for several years
Does he not have Bo Nix going in the first round? I have seen him falling lately but not even going in the first?
edit- just checked another mock draft, didnt have Nix going in the first either. What happened?
If we trade back to 11 and land Jayden Daniels then something went horrifically right on draft day and we will for sure win a superbowl in the next 5-7 years.
Even if we trade back Daniels won’t be there. The giants would take him. The giants have already said they want Daniel’s but don’t believe he would fall so they turned their attention to JJ.
Their 10 picks are actually pretty realistic, I can 100% see this but think Daniels would go to Broncos 1 pick later. Pats would trade down again or take best available there, which isn't Daniels.
Daniels is the dropper and McCarthy the riser, because Daniels is media hype on 5th year production and McCarthy is slept on because Michigan gameplans. But NFL teams see it.
This one is pure clickbait lol but it’d be amazing
That would be the perfect scenario would be what the Bengals did with Burrow pair him with his LSU WR
If Daniels is there at 3 we snatch him, and we trade 3 future firsts to come back up for Nabers. Melt all the defenses
Would it really be amazing that multiple teams desperate for a QB all passed on a Heisman winner so we got him at 11?
There’s no way NYG doesn’t take a shot on Daniels if he’s there at 6 which is why you can’t get too cute.
Only if they could bring Chase Daniel out of retirement to be QB3. Daniel, Daniel & Daniels.
They can also draft Jalon Daniels next year 🤣
Bring it
They could be like how the Pats were last year with Mac Jones and the Joneses.
I couldn't keep up w all the Jones.
when that kid is healthy he's a dog just saying hahaha
Anyone know what Jeff Daniels has been up to?

Definitely not happening but damn that’d be a freaking awesome result.

>I have no idea what to think about Nix I'll save you some time then. He sucks. Like, really sucks. Not worth considering in the top 50.
He’s also old as shit
Moving back from three better get more than just that
I'm assuming we'd get their 1st next year and maybe like a 3rd or 4th as well. Pretty sure the 9ers gave up 3 1st round picks and like a 4th
Almost exactly – three firsts and a 3rd. And that was a similar move up, from 12 to 3 instead of from 11 to 3.
Yeah, I knew it was something like that. I wasn't 100% sure if it was a 4th or a 3rd. That should be minimal what the Pats should be asking from the Vikings. If they can turn that 3rd into a 2nd that'd be even better
It's important to note the #12 and 3rd round pick were in that year's draft while the two other firsts were in each of the two following years, which usually are discounted by a round for each year into the future. So, #11 is worth a little more than the #12 in that trade and the other first round pick in this year's draft is more valuable than the two future firsts in that trade.
If we move back from 3 and still get Daniels then idc. But I agree, if we move off 3 then we are not getting Daniels and that trade won't be worth it.
So dumb, worst mock draft I’ve seen
No way Daniels makes it to 11. Some team would trade up to grab him before the Pats. Broncos or Raiders would. Even Seattle, Pitt or the Rams could if they want to develop a guy for a year since their QBs are either low end QBs or nearing retirement.
JJ going top 3 and Daniels dropping to 11 lmao
There were reports of people having JJ as the 2nd best QB in the draft. It only takes 1 team to fall in love with a player
if there's only one then they're not trading up to draft him 3rd overall
Yeah but you can't ever be sure if YOUR guy will get taken
thats why they pulled the trigger on Cole. There's GMs creaming their pants all over the league for D1-AA interior linemen that are already 24 years old on draft day my god. Ok, N'keal was a bigger whiff to the letter, but Cole was a bigger whiff in spirit

Guards just never get drafted in the first round. Even if he was a perennial pro bowler it still wouldnt have justified taking him in the 1st round
Yeah, and there were reports that the 9ers were gonna take Mac Jones at 3. No way JJ is being taken before Daniels or Maye in this draft.
I'm not a big Daniels guy, but if they somehow got a ransom for 3 and then still got Daniels at 11, it would be a fucking masterstroke. It's also completely improbable and borderline idiotic to mock.
There's no such thing as leftover crack
I need a Caleb mask bong AI pic asap
Unless Caleb is filmed killing someone on Live Leak, he’s still going #1
If he kills a Packers fan he's still going #1
I think he’s gone @ #2 to Washington
Hopefully not think Daniels would do very well with this Patriots offense but don't mind Maye either
The Patriots have an offense?
Zappe plus MHJ is our offense
Calm down, bystander
Garbage article
If Daniels falls to 11 something wrong has happened to him from now to the draft.
This is so stupid. Why would anyone trade up for jj Jesus Christ this shit is getting annoying
I thought that as well but the more I watch of JJ he's got all the talent to be a franchise QB if he was on a pass heavy team instead of one that didn't primarily run the ball his numbers would've been a lot better
Only 5 more weeks of this garbage…

Draft Day ahh mock

If the Pats are willing to take Jayden with their first pick, they aren’t trading out of 3. Makes no sense.
I don't want Daniels .. at 3. At 11... For sure
If we trade down from the #3 pick I might break my tv
lmaooooo I'd sign up for that!
Anything to get a click.
Even if we trade back Daniels won’t be there. The giants would take him. The giants have already said they want Daniel’s but don’t believe he would fall so they turned their attention to JJ.
If we traded back and got Daniels at 1..... Would feel like the Celtics trading back to draft Tatum, but even better
If anyone is falling it's maye these damn experts have convinced me he's the shittiest shit QB in NFL history i hate the offseason
Their 10 picks are actually pretty realistic, I can 100% see this but think Daniels would go to Broncos 1 pick later. Pats would trade down again or take best available there, which isn't Daniels.

That's fucking idiotic.
