WEEI-FM / WEEI

Could Abdul Carter actually fall to the #Patriots at pick 4?! What does Scheim  think? Should the Pats hold onto 4 and wait to see who falls?

00:00I wonder what yesterday means for ticket sales for the Patriots. Must be good news.

00:03Must be. I would assume so, right? I mean, is it online with, you know, what the Bregman signing

00:13did for the Red Sox, or do you not put it in the same category? I feel like there's still a lot of

00:19people that are waiting for more. I don't think if the offseason ended now that people would be

00:24happy, but it was definitely a sign. I think, as we've said, the details of the Milton Williams

00:29contract are coming out now where it's $55 million the first two years, $60 million fully

00:34guaranteed. That is legit. Yeah, that's burning cash. The Bregman thing is more, I guess it's

00:41probably more of a splash because the player is, a D lineman like that is a great player,

00:50but I don't know if a ton of people might have known who he was. It's not a splash.

00:54Right. It's not like you went and got Aaron Donald, you know what I mean?

00:58Not the human cannonball. Yeah. Or Miles Garrett where everybody's like,

01:01oh, okay. They're going to be like, wait a second. And then you're like, oh, that's the

01:04guy from the Superbowl. Like, yes. They've signed a lot of great players. Nobody individually is

01:10going to completely change. Right. Where Bregman, I think is kind of like, you know, coming off,

01:14you know, maybe what his name might meaning baseball for baseball fans is just a little

01:21bit more just because of defensive line position in itself, a defensive tackle. But yeah, I'm with

01:26Curtis. You need to make that big, big splash when it comes to a skilled player. Offense wise.

01:34Yes. To be clear. Yeah. Offense wise. Because that's where you need the most help, right?

01:40When you think about like where your team is, like defensively, you added some pieces that

01:45are obviously going to help your team and your defense is going to be better. But if you don't

01:51get pieces around, but is it possible that they're looking at it by there? I mean,

01:58Elliot Wolfe, not necessarily Mike variable. Cause I think Mike variable came here expecting that

02:04he was going to say, I want to do this and they were going to do it.

02:07Is Elliot Wolfe looking at Josh McDaniels being enough of a, of an addition and enough of a change

02:18that they don't have to. No, we've tried that a few years ago. Remember we brought in Billy O'Brien

02:24and everybody's like, well, if the offense did this with Matt Patricia, right. It's going to

02:27automatically elevate. You just need talent. There isn't enough talent on that. Even in Max rookie

02:32year, we were like, Oh, okay. He's more of a passenger. And it was about your defense was

02:37really, I think they might've had a top 10 defense. Your defense was really good. I don't know how you

02:42can sit there and look at, you know, who's available, who was available and now who is

02:49available. If you're going to go out and work hard for a trade and not do something, maybe a

02:54weight on the Cooper cup release. I, I just, I just think that you have to, I don't even think

02:59Cooper cuffs enough. Yeah. I mean, uh, Curtis, I, I agree with you. I think when you, because

03:06you have to come into this, you came into this situation knowing like offensively,

03:12we have your best weapon on offense. Last year was Hunter Henry who did a good job,

03:19but it was solid. Like, you know what I mean? He he's not going to set the world on Friday.

03:23It wasn't like your best weapon was Hunter Henry and Hunter Henry put up numbers like Gronk or

03:27Travis Kelsey. So he's a solid player, but that's not going to do anything for you on offense.

03:34If you don't add a legitimate running back, which is like, when I say legit, like say

03:39Quan Bockley and there are none of those guys out there or a legitimate wide receiver playmaker.

03:45And right now you haven't done that. And that's why ultimately I'm hoping trade down, get AJ

03:52Brown, but that AJ Brown, when it, when it comes to that, that, that need and getting it trade

03:59wise, that's like, seems to be the only option that there is. And the Eagles are saying they're

04:05not going to do anything with them. Unless you happen to pull a, you know, we used to say,

04:10pull a rabbit out the hat and you go after Jamar Chase or T Higgins. Cause there's no way Cincinnati

04:17can sign both of them. Cincinnati's GM was at the combine basically saying we're going to make T

04:24we're going to make Jamar Chase the highest paid non-quarterback. What are we, what are we hearing

04:29I know your mocks, but one of the mocks mocking when it comes to four, is it likely more so likely

04:34now that the two quarterbacks are going in the spots one through three or less likely.

04:38Yeah, it seems like it. So the, the only updated one really that I've seen like posts free agency

04:43in the last 24 hours has been field Yates. He's kind of been like live updating it. And right now

04:47he has Abdul Carter going to the Patriots at four. He has cam ward one, Travis Hunter, two

04:52Shadur Sanders, three, Abdul Carter, four to the Patriots.

04:55Yeah. So that's what always happens. I hate to tell, we've been saying this,

05:00they always go up. So this is what the Patriots should do.

05:04Try to trade a non first round picks for receivers, get Cooper cup, whatever.

05:07And then sit with four. If Abdul Carter falls into your lap, take them. If not, you can trade

05:13with another team. But Curtis here's the only thing I don't understand. And listen, we love

05:17field Yates, right? He's only here with all due respect because he was best friends with Stephen.

05:21Take snake from him on Sean. Sean said that earlier, but everybody playing the field on

05:26God's green earth has Abdul Carter going ahead of Travis Hunter. Now, all of a sudden,

05:32he's the only one to have Travis Hunter going ahead of Abdul Carter. So like conspiracy theory,

05:38conspiracy theory, field Yates, very close with the Patriots. This is making that fourth pick

05:42seem even more valuable. Well, it's also because we, uh, the, the Browns just resigned to miles

05:48Garrett. So they don't need the pass rusher where there's, they need talented players like Travis.

05:52All right. All right. I can give you that one. I'll give you that one. I'll give you that one.

05:56Okay. And if the Cleveland is off the board for, if they want to say, all right, we got miles and

06:01we're off the board. We got, um, but then if you're Cleveland, don't you need a quarterback?

06:08Yeah, I, I, they may not like sugar. I don't, I don't know why he would have them taking Travis

06:12Hunter over sugar, but that's just kind of all right. Well, I can live with that one. If you're

06:17telling me Tennessee's out on him, I, if Tennessee is out on Carter, I feel confident because of

06:24the, uh, miles Garrett do the extension with Cleveland. I feel confident that the giants

06:30won't take him. And so, yeah, I, I would be, I would be pretty happy if they took Abdul Carter

06:36at number four.
