AJ Brown cried when the Patriots Didn’t Draft Him. We did too 😭
20 comments
He wanted to play with Brady. I don’t think there’s a zero probability that he could *still* be playing with Brady today if we didn’t pass on him.
Is it my turn to post this tomorrow ?
Absolutely idiotic that we passed up this guy (and so many others) for fucking N’Keal Harry.
The list of fireable offenses Bill has committed in recent years could fill a novel
N’Keal Harry’s draft profile was that simply put he would be a contested catch big bodied guy. But at no point did anyone think he was better than Brown or Metcalf or Samuel.
This was total negligence on Belichick’s part especially in the whole “trusting a friend” over his own scouting department.
This is painful.
Brady probably never becomes a Buc if we draft AJ Brown. What could’ve been.
Why post this again and undo the healing? It only hurts more each time.
Bullshit you cried in 2019 when Harry was picked
Can we all stop being hindsight merchants please – it’s getting old and embarrassing!!!
I actually believe that the draft is a complete crapshoot and they are barely even educated guesses, but there was a lot of praise of the 2019 draft at the time. No-one knew deebo etc were going to be amazing – that’s why he didn’t go 5 overall or whatever.
Let’s be honest, he would not be half as good if he got drafted by the pats
Thanks Belichick
Belichick also thought Jonathan Baldwin was a better draft pick than Julio Jones in 2011
If we draft AJ Brown instead of N’Keal Harry (or Chris Godwin instead of Derek Rivers, for that matter), Brady stays for his whole career
I remember someone saying that the N’Keal Harry pick was the end of the dynasty. Now that I think about it they’re probably right tbh.
This one hurts. Sony > Chubb hurts too.
He really wanted to get drafted by the Pats. So did Deebo, famously tweeting after his ire draft visit, “see you in a couple weeks”. Hoping to get drafted by the Pats…imagine had they drafted either of those guys instead of Harry?
And even more ridiculous, they could have em had both AJ and Deebo with their first two picks that season. That might have changed the ark of this story quite a lot.
