LOADED Patriots Rumors: Sign Tee Higgins? Sign Derrick Henry? Draft Drake Maye or Caleb Williams?

Intro [Music] what's up Patriots fans lot of hectic news coming out as of late and it's time to get the pulse of all of Patriots fans I want to answer your question today I am Nick rolloff here of Patriots today this is a male bag and we're going to kick things off with my guar hash New Patriots Coaching Staff Patriots do you think Gerard Mayo will bring in coaches with ties to New England or try to clean house this is a fantastic question by the way tar and I believe it will be a mixture and the one thing that's intriguing to me is what will the Patriots coaches already inhouse do if B bich does go to a different organization which it is expected to be the case say he goes to the Atlanta Falcons first one that comes to mind and I think it's the best fit for him does he bring over his two sons that are on the coaching staff does he bring Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator what will that situation be like well how many coaches will Bill bich poach from this current staff a lot of people like Gerard Mayo he's a leader of men I can see a lot of coaches already on the staff staying with New England so if that's the case well then you don't have that many things to fill I like Demarcus Covington for defensive coordinator and I do believe there will be a lot of people tied to New England that Mayo looks to fill out his staff how a fun name for offensive coordinator or off the offensive side of the ball Wes Welker the former Patriots wide receiver he's done fantastic work for San Francisco I could see him coming back to New England former teammate of Jad Mayo king of Randomness how big is New Patriots GM the next GM going to be for New England it's massive and if I'm going to be honest I think the GM position is the most important role that the Patriots are looking for this year and I truly do believe that because when you think of what has went wrong for the Patriots over the last four seasons ever since Tom Brady left it's been the lack of offensive talent and you are going to need someone to come in and just do a complete overhaul of that offense they need some offensive line help they need a new quarterback they need wide receivers and I think that GM roll is going to be coveted by people out there specifically because they have $85 million in cap space when they cut JC Jackson and they have the third overall pick people are going to want this job and New England and Robert Craft are going to have to hit a home run run on this hire and get the ground rolling and that brings me to this question which is a great question and I want to ask you guys as we answer yours questions who do you want to be the next Patriots GM maybe you don't know any candidates out there we put out a video yesterday about top five GM candidates let me know who your number one guy is for the next GM of the New England Patriots let's go to Derrick Henry Big Potato do we think we can sign Derek Henry I wouldn't put out of the realm of possibility I don't think it's likely if I'm going to be honest I will say this if the Patriots ended up going with Mike Vel I think Derrick Henry would have been an excellent free agent signing for the vet Min because I don't think Derrik Henry is going to get a big contract as he is getting older and older and has likely played his last snap in Nashville um but I don't really think there's a good fit next to ra Andre Stevenson if I'm going to be honest I don't think Henry and Stevenson are the best one-w punch both are really good running backs there's no doubt about that I just don't think they complement each other that well I think I look more towards a Ezekiel Elliot guy again who can really be good in the passing game and I'm not saying Derrick Henry can't be good in the passing game but I do think he's not the best pass Catcher And ra Andre Stevenson is had done good job with that in the passing game so I think if I wanted to do anything I'd go more of a third down back a scat back but there's no doubting Derrick Henry's career right one of the best running backs of all time one of the most dominant he's one of the reasons why the Titans have been able to be such a successful team almost 10,000 yards in his career 88 touchdowns he's a fantastic player I actually just don't see that being a fit in New England and it's tough to project these things when you don't even know who your GM is right that first Domino to Falls GM then we could really start thinking about free agents that we're going to go after oo great question from Miss Tom Tom Brady Brady I miss him too every single day it's sad that he's not no longer with us in the NFL of course what trade would you give the hiring of drao mail oh this is a good question uh let's put on the the the school cap let's go B+ not GNA I don't know if I could say it's an a right but the Patriots and Robert Craft better be darn sure that this is the correct tire for the Patriots if you're not even going to interview other candidates I think B+ is a good option that's like an 88 889 grade so don't get it twisted and see that's disrespect for me I think Mayo is a good coach I think he is a great leader of men which you'll hear me say multiple times because I do think that's the most important part of being a head coach and getting a locker room to follow you into battle for 17 hopefully 21 weeks a year I think he's going to be good in New England he seems to have a lot of support already from ex Patriots players and people already in that Patriots locker room go back to Tar what does it Drod Mayo say to you that gerod Mayo jumped from a linebacker coach to a head coach in only five years another good question T and what it tells me is that he's a smart man and that he is a personable person and that is something that Mayo was actually asked in the past of like how he relates to people and how he is able to get people to follow him and I don't know the exact quote and I'd hate to misquote him here but I remember seeing him say something like I believe that I can talk to old I can talk to Young I can talk to white guys I could talk to black guys I could talk to all Races like he is comfortable having tough decisions that fall on his shoulders and he's comfortable having difficult conversations and I think that's important from your head coach that he's not going to shy away I think he's going to be someone that when he gets asked hard questions after a tough loss on Monday morning he's going to give you an honest and respectful answer and I think Mayo is just going to do a good job leading this team in a good direction and you certainly needed someone like if you let's just put this for example if you ended up hiring like a Ben Johnson outside the organization that ends up being a disaster that would set your franchise back quite a bit but drod Mayo you can have a little bit of comfortability there considering he's been in the organization and he's been a fast rising candidate he almost was the the Panthers head coach last year guess what it's a good thing he didn't take it because that is a train wreck in Carolina passing it over to Ethan do you Tee Higgins think when we get a new GM he will make a splash like getting T Higgins because I feel like when a new GM comes to town they make a splash in free agency that actually is a track record of that we talk about Dave zegler who could be a Patriots GM candidate when he went over from New England to Las Vegas with McDaniels what was one of the first things they did they traded for Devonte Adams and and you see a bunch of GMS make big splashes right away to get the ground running and I do see that being a possibility Ethan whether it be the new GM trading up in the NFL draft from 3 to one or 3 to2 to ensure Drake May or Caleb Williams or whether it be to sign this guy right here T Higgins who has been just absolutely terrific in Cincinnati as a wide receiver one wide receiver two alongside Jamar Chase consistent guy who's a deep threat big body wide receiver that is great in the contested catch route gets 1,000 yards a season he's been fantastic and the reason why I think it's a real possibility that he is a patriot is because they have to pay Joe burrow they have to pay other guys on the defensive side of the ball they have to pay Jamar Chase like they're going to have to pay some of these guys and T Higgins could fall to the waist side and if he's able to hit free agency New England should absolutely a lot that $ 85 million cap space they have they should look at 2025 of it on a four-year deal to T Higgins for a hundredy year million do total I'm all in on that and even this let's say this I'm not putting out if the Bengals end up franchise tagging T higin but he doesn't want to play in the franchise tag I still wouldn't look out or disregard a potential second round pick heading to Cincinnati in a trade for T Higgins Logan does anyone else believe Ziggy that if we get zappy some protection he'll be a successful QB in a revamp system oh we got a zappy truther and I don't want to like be disrespectful Logan because I think zappy has shown good things but to me there's just absolutely no chance I watched bayy zappy play and think to myself he can win a Super Bowl and to me if you're not thinking this quarterback can win a Super Bowl then what are we evaluating here I don't want a quarterback that's hey hey system around him he could make the playoffs he could win a playoff game I want a quarterback that I Envision hoisting up the Lombardi trophy and as I guess better as he was than M Jones when he replaced him I don't think zappy is a franchise QB I think zappy is a fantastic backup quarterback and I'd love to have him back in New England backing up whoever is quarterbacking this team in 2024 Big Potato back with a question Big Potato would you like Drake May or Caleb Williams and this is the million question is it not Drake May is my guy 64 65 North Carolina QB is a Justin Herbert clone I think he plays a lot like Josh Allen if I'm going to be honest but Caleb Williams 61 maybe 61 very agile makes the wow plays his play style gets compared to Patrick Mahomes he has a cannon of an arm both may and Caleb both do they both kind of regressed a little bit statistically this year compared to last year in college football but I just think that talent for both guys are there I'd love either one to be the quarterback of the future for the Patriots I'm trying not to let my biases slip through here as a North Carolina guy but I do lean Drake May because out as good and as better as Caleb Williams is on the field which is probably the case slightly I question his ability to handle the tough questions and be a leader in the locker room which is another big thing that you need to be as a franchise Cube be Logan Jaden Daniels last question trade down and get Jaden Daniels in Rome adun now this is something I can get behind and a lot of people have came at me in the comments section on previous videos on me saying that if the Patriots hold firm with the third overall pick and it goes Caleb Williams one Drake May 2 or vice versa either way those two are off the board that I would run to the cash counter with Marvin Harrison Jr as my Peck a lot of people have said we need Jaden Daniels which I understand I just think the third overall pick for JD is a little Rich he's a great Prospect but is he top three worthy I don't know if that's the case a lot of concerns and me specifically I'm concerned with the reason him breaking out as a fifth year guy so it took a long time for him to get into this top tier Prospect range and it only happened when he had to throw the ball a million times a game and he was throwing to Malik neighbors who's going to be a top 10 pick and another first round pick in Brian Thomas that's a little concerned turning to me but if you're going to tell me I trade back from like 3 to 6 or 3 to S and I get Jaden Daniels and then I don't know how romad dun would happen unless the Patriots used another pick the trade back up because you're not going to get multiple first round picks for in the same draft for that third overall pick but if you're able to get Jaden Daniels at six or seven I think that's the correct value for him and then somehow trade up for ad dun I'm in on that that brings me to this question to round out Today's Show name your favorite 2024 NFL draft prospect mine's Drake May because I'm a North Carolina guy but if you take away my biases I'm a big Malik neighbors fan he's going to go top 10 that wide receiver out of LSU is oh so dangerous not saying he's the best but he's one of my favorites to watch that'll do it for today's video make sure
