Patriots news

The problem with Jakobi is he's aging and wants a new contract. While he's a solid player and certainly raises the "floor" of the WR group. He's also not an explosive player and doesn't do anything for the ceiling of the group. If you have him on the field you are potentially taking off a guy like Pop and Williams. And again, you have to pay him while you already paid Diggs. I am not opposed to adding him but you already have a crowded meh level WR room. The issue with flipping Dugger is the contract and age. He's probably more valuable to the Pats, and they should keep him for this year to provide depth and hope he continues to build off last week.

Just to note:

Jakobi Meyers had zero drops last year, a fact highlighted by Raiders.com in June 2025, noting it was a first for him in his career. He achieved this while playing in his first season with the Las Vegas Raiders and finishing with over 1,000 receiving yards.

No doubt he's a solid player. I can honestly go either way on the move. I just don't see it as a huge positive for this team.
 
Horrible pick
Besides the Hightower/Jones picks after 2012 BBs drafts were mediocre to abysmal

2013 to 2016 had some decent players (with Thuney being a great pick):

-Logan Ryan

-Duran Harmon

-Shaq Mason

-Joe Cardona

-Trey Flowers

-Joe Thuney

2022 and 2024 are the worst Pats drafts in the last 25 years.

James White in 2014, but that's not good enough. Not one player drafted that was a game changing All Pro/Bowl on offense or defense. The core drafted from 2009-2012 and Collins in 2013 is what helped get Tom to end the drought. Had they not drafted Gronk, Tom is stuck at 3 and leaves by 2016 at the earliest. In fact, he may even plotted his exit had they lost to the Seahawks in 2014. His reaction said it all watching what opposing teams do best late in games against a BB defense by walking down field with no resistance.
