00:00But Vrabel, you know, as we talked about, had some success in Tennessee.
00:05You know, he had Derrick Henry, you know, and he had primed Derrick Henry for about
00:09five years.
00:11And when you have that player, you can basically build around that and let the rest do the
00:15dance, as they say, on defense and offense.
00:17Never had a great quarterback.
00:18Ryan Tannehill, I guess, was the guy there.
00:22But I don't know if there is dysfunction in Tennessee.
00:26Seems like maybe a little bit, George.
00:27They fired their GM in the offseason.
00:30So I feel like Vrabel is getting a second chance.
00:34But maybe his first chance should have continued with the Titans, and the Patriots are going
00:39to take advantage of that situation.
00:40Yeah.
00:41The Titans made a mistake when he moved on from Vrabel.
00:44All right.
00:45I think there's very little doubt about that.
00:47Vrabel, he's called the leader of men, right?
00:50That's what they keep saying.
00:51He's the leader of men.
00:52So you certainly need that.
00:54Maybe he's close to an older time, Coach Craig.
00:57I think he'll be the right guy for New England.
01:04But Craig is going to have to be patient.
01:06This is not something they're going to fix this year.
01:10I don't care what they do in free age.
01:11I know they have a ton of money.
01:12I think it's $110 million off end.
01:13So they could do a lot of damage here.
01:15They didn't get the number one pick.
01:16That certainly would have helped.
01:17They would have lost that last game.
01:19They could have traded down, because they have Drake May here.
01:22But they have the number four overall pick.
01:23It's a good starting point here.
01:25You're going to get a top player.
01:26Maybe end up with Travis Hunter.
01:28So good for New England.
01:29It's a good start.
01:30But it's going to take a couple of years here.
01:31I do think Drake May is a franchise quarterback.
01:33When I say that, though, Craig, I don't mean Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Lamar Jackson.
01:39Not that type of franchise quarterback, but a guy you can win with.
01:41But you need to build a round.
01:43And that building round is going to take some time here.
01:45Even if they hit everything correctly, it takes two years.
01:48I doubt they'll hit everything correctly.
01:49But I think it's a really, really good start.
01:52Having three picks in the first 70 and four picks in the first 80, that's going to help
01:56the Patriots start.
01:57They just have to identify some weapons on offense or tight end.
02:02How great would that Penn State tight end look, Warren, with Drake May next year, if
02:07they could pull that off?
02:08But they have the fourth pick, the 38th pick, the 69th pick, and then the 77th pick.
02:12And then from there, let's just be honest.
02:14It's a crapshoot.
02:15OK?
02:16Anything after 100, no one really knows.
02:18But those are all the picks that they have there.
02:20And George is right.
02:21They have to be patient.
02:23It's not just Drake May.
02:24They've gotten some decent performances on offense.
02:27We know that their line is not very good.
02:29He was running for his life most of the season.
02:31We know their running backs are not very good.
02:33We keep naming guys that sound good and have cool names, like Ramondre Stevenson, but the
02:37dude never does anything.
02:39And so just because your name is Ramondre doesn't mean you're going to be any good.
02:42Like I've talked about, cool names doesn't do it.
02:44Give me Ray Davis.
02:45I'm very happy.
