Say that more slowly because I'm stupid.

Bill Barnwell writes on ESPN, New England now has two first rounders, number 23 and 31,

and two second rounders, numbers 43 and 63, to play with in this year's draft.

It's an awful lot of draft capital for Belichick to work with.

He says if Belichick sees a quarterback, he thinks could serve as the long-term replacement for Tom Brady.

Would he package some or all of those picks to move up and grab somebody?

And then he writes by the traditional Jimmy Johnson draft chart.

Again, the whole draft value chart was really created by Jimmy Johnson,

where he put that point total to each pick and what each pick is worth.

He writes that according to the traditional Jimmy Johnson draft chart,

picks 23, 31, and 43.

Let me ask you. Okay, so that's what the Pats have. 23, 31, and 43. Would be enough to push the Pats into what pick. What do you think, folks? What do you think that would get them? The 23rd, 31st, and 43rd. Package it together would get you what? So if you were to ask me, I'd say like 15, 12, 10. I'd say top 10. Yeah, I'd say like, okay, maybe 10 at best. Maybe you could get into the top 10. Although I will tell you that we did this yesterday, right? We looked up 23 and 31 alone. Well, let me answer. Okay, sorry. I'm setting it up here, Maz. Oh, sorry. I thought you were, never mind. You're going to ruin the punchline. I'm sorry, I do that a lot. This is what Barnwell wrote. 23, 31, and 43 would move the Patriots, again, by the traditional chart, pass the Broncos into number four overall. Number four.

So to me, I just was trying to set that up.

No, I know you were.

It's called premature emasulation.

To me, I spat out my organic butter coffee when I read that,

and I wasn't even drinking any.

Like, you get with 23, 31, and 43, you can get to number four. You can get into the top five. Like, whoa. I know it's unbelievable. I was surprised yesterday, 23 and 31, get you to number nine. Like, you know, even that, I thought, whoa, that's pretty high. You get into the top ten with just those two. But honestly, if on them, I don't do it. I hate to, and I typically go against this, but they need a volume draft. They got to get two or three players. Agreed. None of these quarterbacks are slam dunk ready to plug and play like Andrew Luck was. There's too many question marks about any of these guys. So let me ask you, what if they think that there is?

It doesn't matter what we think. What if they see Andrew Luck up there? Then yes, it's worth it. Then no, you're still hanging out Brady to dry here. There's too many holes in this team, especially defensively. Okay, but I look, I mean, I'm going to be consistent on this one. If there's a guy that you say is can't miss, can't miss, then you go get them.
