 All right, you want my hot take? Yeah, let's hear the hot take. I don't think the Pats will ever get a number one receiver. Oh, I don't think that was coming. They will ever have a number one receiver. Oh! Okay, the heat check is brought to by Eastern Propane and Oil. They're in your neighborhood. Woo! Let me tell you something. What do you mean? What do you mean by that? They haven't had a number one receiver, Mike. I mean, other than the one year of Randy Moss, which was kind of unintentional, and what I mean by that is they traded a fourth round pick where he was sort of exposed, disposable. I mean, you know what I mean? It wasn't like they targeted and paid a number one receiver. The last time they did it, last time they had it, maybe Terry Glenn, so this isn't, they've pretty much gone a full 40 years without really, I mean, Mike, without really trying to get a number one receiver, paying a number one receiver, or having a number one receiver outside of the Randy Moss year. But again, I think that was a little accidental. They weren't targeting that. The stuff on digs, look, he was only a second round pick. So that is the kind of guy they might be involved in, but apparently there are nowhere close to that. They're not gonna give up, the number one receivers that have moved, Mike. Tyree Kill, Devonte Adams, okay? Those guys got first round picks in return, and they were paid at the tippy top of the market. Right, right. Record-setting contracts. Jonathan Kraft isn't gonna do that. Jonathan Kraft is not going to set the market for a receiver contract. So forget about trading for that guy. Now you have to draft that guy. And the odds are you're not gonna draft the guy. You may try, you're not gonna draft. Yes, you will. You're not gonna draft Marvin Harrison Jr. here at three. Yeah, but you don't have to. I think you're better next year. So maybe you have the 10th pick or the 12th pick. Are you gonna go receiver there? And if you are, what are the odds are you hitting? And here's another one. Even if you do hit, are you gonna pay him on the second contract? I don't think the Crafts will. They will, it's been damn near 40 years without a number one receiver. I think we're looking at another 40, Mike. How's that? No, no, no, that's a hell of a, that's probably like three or four heat checks. That wasn't a heat check. That is like a burning forest right there. You got fires all over the place. But I'm gonna tell you this. You don't have to. Where's he coming from? You don't have to. You don't have to trade for that number one guy. You really don't. You know why? Because I think wide receivers, this is where I thought you were going. I think wide receivers are about to become like running backs. They're gonna be so plentiful. Famous last words. Pretty, so watch, watch, watch. The supply of wide receivers is growing exponentially. The true number one? Watch, watch. Will they pay him? If they draft that guy. Okay, so again, this year they'll be drafting probably we think maybe the fifth, sixth receiver on the board. I don't know. Probably. That second round pick. Even if they hit on him, long odds, will they pay him? No. You know why? But it has nothing to do with Jonathan Kraft and the cheapness of the Patriots. You know what it has to do with? The position. I'm telling you, we're at an inflection point at the wide receiver position where everybody who has a brain will be able to get a good wide receiver. If you think about it right now, they're gonna say good. Yeah, okay. They'll get good. Number one. You're gonna see it. That's true, true, number one guy. If you think about it right now because there's gonna be plenty of them in the draft, I'm not even concerned about it. That's why I told you I softened a bit on the didn't get Keenan Allen for the fourth round pick because they're gonna be so many, they're gonna be so many wide receiver options over the next two to three years out of college football. Guys who used to play running back, we're gonna start playing wide receiver. You can see it now. They're gonna be more Debo Samuel type. Oh my God, that guy looks like a running back. Yeah, he used to be, but he sees the money is at wide receiver. He's gonna play wide receiver. There's a guy right now out of South Carolina. It was gonna be a first, late first, or early second round pick. Xavier Leggett, same thing. Running back body, but playing wide receiver. The Patriots will get wide receivers and so will everybody else in football. And on those second contracts, a lot of those guys won't get paid because there's gonna be another batch coming through in college football. That's my, that's my hot take. That's my hot take. That's not that hot of a take. Wide receiver is a new running back. Running backs are the new, wide receivers are new running backs. Okay, Tommy Kern is also big on the Patriots getting a stud at the X receiver this coming season. As he described last night on Quick Slance. Never go to the store, spend some time, come back home and realize you got the wrong thing. And then you have to go all the way back to the store and try and return it. And they might not take it and you have to throw it away. Or worse yet, you think you have the right thing, you get it home, you try and develop it, you think it's gonna work and start what you want. It's kind of the Patriots experience of wide receiver for, oh, I would say the last decade and a half. And they gotta cut it out. And the best way to cut that out is to draft and develop. And this is a prime draft for the Patriots to draft and develop a wide receiver. All right, bringing Greg Medard to the Boston Sports Journal. Drafting and developing, having good receivers. Yeah, they'll have good receivers. And Mike's right, there's a lot of them out there. But to pay the premium on the guy and then to pay the guy, I don't know, I'm dubious, but do they have to draft a receiver this year, Greg? Yeah, without question. At least one, maybe two, maybe three. I don't really know. But Mike, your point about they're not gonna pay for a wide receiver, they're not gonna get that guy. Did you forget about Calvin Ridley? I mean, they offered him $22 million a year. Yeah, which is like... I mean, that just happened a few weeks ago. So to say the Patriots are just gonna ignore wide receiver. But he's not a true number one. That's your opinion as a noted NFL personnel guy. But they... Oh, wow! Immediately attacked by credentials. Oh, coming on, coming hot today. Too easy, go ahead. But I do expect, you know, once they get through, once we get through the draft, perhaps in the lead-up to the draft, draft weekend, I am still expecting them to make a move for a number one wide receiver. I'll be disappointed if they don't. I think they need that. But I do think for the most part, it's going to be through draft and develop. And I agree totally with Michael that what you are going to see, and this is sort of the Kansas City Chiefs model that teams are going to, where they say they saw the Chiefs because they had the transcendent quarterback that they're paying, they are leaving it up to those quarterbacks to elevate a mediocre receiver room. Now, the first piece of the puzzle, the Patriots have to get the quarterback and they have to pay the quarterback. But that's what I'm talking about. And that's a long ways down the road. The Packers are doing that. I like their young receiver core. I don't think there's a true number one top 10 receiver in that group. I don't think that they've draft. Watches could be. I don't think so. I don't think he is, Greg. If he stays healthy. I think he's a nice player. And I think they have nice players in that room. There's no true number one. So look, if you've got a great quarterback, I actually like that. I actually like putting on the quarterback to elevate those around him. I think that's okay. As long as you were surrounding him with good players. I'm just saying that number one, that Tyree Kill, that guy. Who wouldn't have been that guy anymore? I mean, the Kansas City Chiefs didn't have anybody, Travis Kelsey wasn't even what he normally was. And you look at the Packers team that won a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, James Jones. So the question is, None of them are number one. All right, let's agree with me. Well, let me ask you guys this. All right, what's more important? We're really freestyling now. Now I'm really thinking about this. What's more important? That number one guy that Felger talks about Greg, or is it more important to have a really smart offensive coordinator like Matt LaFleur is like, Ben Johnson is, Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan. We have a smart offensive coordinator who knows how to scheme up twos and threes in the absence of number ones. Because, hey, Greg, this is just for Felger. Hey, the Patriots have Alex van Pelt. That is just as important. Ah, as having a number one. Listen, what's more important? No, seriously, what do you think is more important? I'd rather, I'm sorry just give it, I would rather have a offense that is excellent quarterback, excellent scheme with good receiving options spread throughout the offense as opposed to the number one guy. I'd rather have that Greg. That's what they're trying to build. That's sort of the packer way. They are going to have a bunch of really good number twos and they're going to come through the draft. Second, third, fourth, fifth round guys, just like the Packers have done with Watson, Dobbs, Reed, all these guys. That didn't take long for you actually to agree with me. They're going to have a bunch of number twos. Did you hear them? And I don't know football, he says. Okay, well, all right. Then neither of us know football, because we're on the same page. He called you a noted personnel guy. It was really, no, it was vicious. It was sharp. That was sharp. Savage.
