I can't disagree with that.

Jackpot!

Felger and Maz on 985, the Sports Hub.

As promised, right back to your phones, Brian and Salem.

Go ahead, please.

Hey, how's it going?

This is an attack on you, Felger.

You've been saying all week that the Pats are going to get a kick in the ass for not having a first or second round pick, and because of the reason last year, obviously, deflate gate, not having a pick.

But have you done any research to back up this claim?

I don't know if you have my claim correct.

I'm just saying that, I think that going two straight years without a first, having only one second round pick in the first two rounds for two consecutive years, is inviting a hole in your roster down the road. Okay, and why is it a hole in the roster when you consider the salary cap crap? Can you just retain all your players then? Yeah, but they don't. Okay. I believe in money. They don't want to pay everybody, so there comes times when you have to let guys go.

Okay, and just to confirm that I'm not a Patriots Homer, if you look at Bill's draft

over the past 10 years in the first and second round, they have taken 24 players, 15 of them

are gone, okay? And probably only 15 of them are gone.

Okay, and probably only five of them, if you take a look, we would consider starters.

So I don't really get your point here.

I don't think you're making any sense.

It's a super simple point that if you let too many good draft picks come off the board without taking a swing,

you're inviting a hole in your roster down the road. It could not be more simple. And if you don't, if you disagree, you disagree, that's great. So, so you think if they trade up today to the high second round, that's a mistake? That's not what I said. No, but I'm asking you, if they make a trade and fill in that draft hole and get a high second pick today, will that be a mistake?

No, I don't think it will, but I think... Okay, so they're not making a mistake by saying where they are.

They're not making a mistake by trading up.
