I thought today, mass and we thought today we haven't talked to any football all week long.

So we give you some developing and some breaking Patriots opinions.

How do you feel about that?

I'm in.

Let's shake it up, baby.

Because Big Jim Murray there in our update studio really has the lead developing football opinion.

It just sort of spun off of when you watch draft coverage in the NFL, and it's specifically related to the Patriots about the quarterbacks, the quarterbacks, the quarterbacks, and the Patriots need to draft a quarterback. They need to start over with Jimmy Garoppel and draft a quarterback and look at all these quarterbacks, and who's available at the end of the first, who's available at the end of the second when they have their picks, who would be available? We've got to restart at the quarterback, quarterback, quarterback at the draft. How do you feel about all that, Murray? I'm out. You do not draft a quarterback. They have five picks. They're going to be awarded two compensatory picks from what I understand, one from Jabal Sheard. I think it'll end to be in a four the fifth, but whatever. I'm going on the premise right now that they have five draft picks, five.

And I don't want them drafting a quarterback. I know it's a deep quarterback class. So that should develop it. You don't want them to draft a quarterback. Correct. I don't. Okay. Because you are now, sorry, Bill, it's Tom here that you have to build around. and you have to continue to build around him and take advantage of the Brady window. Kind of like I wanted them to do, you know, last offseason, but they didn't. You know, they, okay, they made some moves, some blew up in their face, but, you know, they should have traded Jimmy Garoppolo. I stand by that, and now I feel even better about it because considering they ended up moving him at the trade deadline. You should have traded him in, so you got more picks to continue to build around Brady. Well, now that you know he's here, for better or worse, Bill, even if you don't want him here, he's here. And if you're going to be here, you have to continue to build around him. You owe it to him. You especially owe it to him after the way you handled Super Bowl 50 too, because you kind of did blow it there with how you handled the Malcolm Butler situation in the second half.

You have to build around Brady. It's deep at defensive end. It's deep at quarterback. You need linebackers. This team is thin at a lot of areas. If you end up losing Rob Grancowski this offseason, guess what? Now you get a – I think you get to draft another tight end. There's other areas of need

other than quarterback to me. It's about the now, not the future. And with five picks, you've got to try to build around Brady, take advantage of the Brady window. Cornerbacks, lineback is defensive end, offensive tackle, hell even a running back. Oh, running back, Murray, they don't matter. Deep at running back in this draft too.

You want them to drop to running back?

Yep, sure do.

Build around Brady.

Build around Brady.

Screw the future. I want it now. I was with you until they got to the running back thing. What if it's the fifth round? Yeah. You went running back. See, even when I... I can't wait until Shaquan Barkley goes like first overall and it makes you mental. so I wish I could recreate the email exchange because even when I agree with Murray, I don't fully agree with

Murray. So I have, but I think he's on the right line of thought. So I'm going to help you shape it

Murray. That's I'm going to help you. No, no, this is how I feel, but go ahead. So do you
