Matt Castle

2025, no pick.

So what I had heard...

is that they drafted Ty Simpson this last year because they felt like this trade was going to happen, and they knew if they didn't draft a quarterback, they could not get one at all next year, and that Stafford is obviously awesome, but also old.

And so whenever you know that, a little bit of hindsight, it does make more sense.

Now, if you don't think Ty Simpson is good, that's different.

But you were like, why did you have to first-round quarterback whenever you have Matthew Stafford and you're going to pay him a bunch of money, which they did.

They paid him for another year as well.

But it does make sense if you know you're not going to have a first-round pick the next year, unless somehow you're going to trade for one.

But 2027, next year, they will have no first-round pick.

So in 11 years, they've had one, two, three first-round picks.

The other thing was, and this is a story, and I think the story's funny because it was very much the Vrabel, Rossini, A.J.

Brown to the Patriots, all of that.

But mostly it's to you.

You're a big Patriots fan.

How do you feel about A.J.

Brown?

You think he, because that's not Belichick's culture anymore.

True.

He played for, he didn't play for Vrabel though, did he?

He did play a year with Vrabel?
