Hoyer was so informative. Phil holds his own. Great job on the breakdown, Hoyer.

[@lioneaglegriffin]

Phil is way more involved in the x's and o's than a typical beat reporter i'd say. I appreciate his work to internalize all that stuff plus analytics and even the way he goes about making comps.

[@JpoT852]

Definitely have Brian on again such a smart football mind great analysis🙌

[@christiank1142]

Hoyer was a great decision for this segment. This was one of the best videos you guys have produced. Draft pick evaluation is under rated especially with a high iq guest and humour

[@AlexPotts]

Hell of a video. All guys provided good opinions. Rare these days

[@leafygreen2799]

This was awesome. Great work guys

[@codyjones8124]

DM let’s go boys, sit year and ready to rock

[@JackB.Nimble999]

Super-informative. I wish we could select Daniels.

[@gdlt1]

Hoyer should be QB Coach and then move to OC

[@MyKidzFuture]

Looks like hoyer should be an analyst. He’s got a tony romo type way of explaining what he’s seeing

[@jk2357]

@@MyKidzFuture Either way, Hoyer was a backup for so long for a reason. Even when Hoyer barely could throw anymore, teams wanted him because he's an excellent coach and teammate.

[@drtariqwahab]

Drake Maye is the right choice unless Caleb falls down to Pats which will be a miracle

[@jk2357]

One thing I haven't seen talked about with drafting Maye and sitting him is that we can essentially tank for another season. Having another year with top picks combined with an aggressive offseason in free agency as Maye enters season 2 could be what it takes to make a real step forward as a franchise.

[@platinum9898]

Love the analysis nicely done. But you cannot dismiss the gritty dawgness with the fearless winning attitude of JJ mccarthy

[@jk2357]

McCarthy might be a perfect pick for a more established team that needs a leadership more than elite QB play. Think the 49ers style situation. I can't see someone like McCarthy having success with a franchise like the Patriots that needs an elite QB to lift us out of the gutter.

[@bigbadLN]

I like how JD and DM can put air under the ball on downfield passes with touch as opposed to JJ and MP throw more fast balls. This gives receiver time to adjust to the ball. Russell Wison was great at doing this.

[@platinum9898]

Jj mccarthy best traits is quickness. Winning mentality

[@platinum9898]

Jj is fearless

[@Daniel_Capital]

50:56 Tom Curran, who craps on Belichick ever single chance he gets, actually found a way to blame Bill Belichick for reading this video wrong. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

[@petergrant9259]

Brian will be a great OC one day.......

[@W_Scanlon17]

Hoyer is absolutely awesome

[@broseph1696]

Hoyer should be a qb coach

[@josephcurreri9289]

JJ will be the best qb High comp Steve Young

[@dwayneroberts6616]

These guys are so focused on Drake Maye. He's not coming to NE. Your getting grumpy Daniels 😂.

[@Throplife]

How many times can we have the same conversation

[@jk2357]

If we use politics as the model, then infinite conversations.

[@Daniel_Capital]

hang in there for 2 more days

[@mikechan231]

Curran had lost his mind evoking the name of one AR. There is nothing substantive to indicate that JJ could have that kind of ceiling.

[@patrickhernandez785]

[@jk2357]

RG3 was so good his rookie year before Washington ruined him. One of the biggest shames when it comes to QB busts.

[@silenceisonfire2099]

Phil is so set on drake maye everything is he’s so great his family is this but when Daniel’s came up “ ohh he’s got a star studded cast top linemen and receivers 😂his bias is unbelievable… I’m happy hoyer said that’s ALABAMA! He’s playing to shut that down

[@petercole8798]

Tom. Would about pratt or milton .

[@paulletendre425]

Pick Jayden best all around player

[@jk2357]

It seems the Commanders are going to take him. If we wanted the 2nd best QB, we needed to tank better.

[@garybird7474]

Daniels no doubt is better than Maye in my opinion. Has more zip on the ball. More accurate.

[@jk2357]

If Daniels can stay healthy. That frame gives me pause with how physical the NFL is, despite Goodell trying to limit injuries to offensive players.

[@awall422]

Tua is high comp for Penix? no way, he could be a lot better than Tua.

[@tjk9263]

Penix much better arm especially downfield accuracy. All of Miami's pass plays are short timing routes all off of RPO. Penix is a typical stand tall in pocket thrower

[@marway99]

FOR ME DRAKE MAYE NOW! BECAUSE 6’4 AND YOUNG! 21 YR OLD ONLY. HIGH CEILING, ACCURATE LIKE MICHAEL PENIX. DRAKE HE BECOME JUSTIN HERBERT AND HE BECOME JOSH ALLEN TOO. AND HE BECOME AARON RODGERS TOO.

[@tyclark7953]

I think his arm is just slightly weaker than those QBs but yes he can be very similar if developed properly.

[@platinum9898]

Jj jj jj

[@randomflagg7331]

These guys.....SMH if Michael enix is throwing to nothing but 3rd round talent then he is clearly the guy. and they are saying, well, he's not a high 1st round talent but he'll go by the end of the first part. wha? if he's doing all that with smoke and mirrors and he's taking all that damage. my god man, if that kid turns into a gamer and JJ mccarthy wilts because he's not playing behind "fort Knox" any longer and has to actually thrive in adversity and Drake maye takes 4 years to be turned into Mac Jones..... I'm going to be pissed. because it seems to me that they have their minds made up on who they want and lets face it the who'll Irish thing plays big in this area. but the last QB ya had who was Irish was dogs*t. forget about the whole Irish lineage crap and just pick the best player available. whether that's penix or Harrison. stop making excuses for dudes that have all the breaks and excluding guys who had to battle from adversity.

[@bankolandou9135]

3rd pick overall is too high to not draft a day 1 starter. Just my opinion. Draft a WR and put weapons around JB. You can Draft a qb a later round.

[@arod2394]

If you get MHJ you will not get a top 3 QB prospect again

[@scaps2200]

Totally agree

[@Justvibes82]

this is a casual take when its historically good qb class and historically deep wr class (there will never be shortage of elite rookie wrs its every year now) even 8th best wr keon coleman will be elite

[@scaps2200]

So, most of these QB's will be a bust. Either wrong situation, not that good, or injuries. It is just a gamble. Trade back. Get a WR and OT. Pick up Penix or Rattler later in draft.

[@nunyabusiness8527]

Better to trade down.Get Bo Nix and some extra picks. Reload that offensive line and the wide receiver core.And you're instantly competitive again. If you go with Drake, maye you're getting your offensive tackle at the second round and then you're not looking for a weapon for him until the third, it's stupid. If you trade down and can pick up a couple of extra second and/or third round draft picks, That way you can actually give your new quarterback some weapons. If you get drake maye this year, he fails, and that's all there is to it. He"'ll have a good left tackle, and his best weapons will be a couple of thirty year old tight ends and a third round wide receiver. You draft down, get Nix or Penix grab and extra pick or two in the second, all of a sudden a "stepping stone" draft becomes a game changer draft amd theyre at the least competitive next year.

[@collinbelt9689]

🥱

[@nunyabusiness8527]

@@collinbelt9689 Oh nice reply from a guy who's probably never strapped on a helmet this fucking life.

[@bennyvanlit8136]

I guess the argument is that the QB has more value in the game than WR or OT. It's not impossible to hit on a QB further down the draft, but you're more likely to have a game changer near the top. Also, depending how far you trade down, you might not get that game changing OT or WR, just a "very good" one. All the elites (Nabers, MHJ, Odunze, Alt) are going in the top ten.

[@bennyvanlit8136]

So, in the end, you might get a WR2, a OT1/2 and then a QB that is okay. And then you are in that rotational hell where you compete but aren't bad enough to draft an elite QB. Unless you find a Dak or a Wilson or, dare I say it, a Brady. But there's not more than a handful in 20 years.

[@nunyabusiness8527]

@@bennyvanlit8136 ur logic on this subject is obviously provided to you by the media, Drake Maye is another Sam Darnold, another Zach Wilson. An arrogant player (who will fail in the NFL), made so by ease of surroundings. He's never struggled because of the failings of teammates. And hes got the wrong attitude for NE. "I'm a proven winner!" Couldnt even get Brady to say sumthin like that after 6 rings.
