NFL Owners Meeting, Draft Plans, Hall of Fame Debate
The NFL Owners Meeting just wrapped up, and we’ve got plenty to break down. From the miraculous Joe Milton trade to the Patriots’ Over/Under set at 8.5 wins, we analyze the latest moves and what it means for the season ahead. Plus, we get into the biggest question of all: Is Eliot Wolf a Kraft plant or just a holdover?
Next, we shift gears to the NFL Draft. With the No. 4 pick, who will the Patriots take? Is Hunter destined for the Giants at No. 3? What about Mason Graham, Ashton Jeanty, or Tyler Warren later in the draft? And most importantly, who’s actually making the call in Foxborough? We dive into all the draft buzz and the looming questions surrounding the Patriots’ future.
Finally, we tackle the Patriots Hall of Fame. Bill Parcells is getting inducted as a contributor—about time! But who’s next? The debate gets heated as we weigh the cases for Adam Vinatieri, Julian Edelman, and Logan Mankins. Who deserves to be enshrined in 2025? We make the arguments and take our sides.
Strap in for another high-energy episode of the Simple Minds Sports Show—where takes are hot, debates are fiery, and no one is safe.
