> Trick question: A healthy Brown is better than Diggs. A healthy Pierce needs other things to happen - like a real slot, and a LG and a blocking TE - then Mr. Pierce will be worth it - plus I want him because if you look at him really fast he looks like my elder son - although my son has lips and less muscles, but he’s the same size.

> Brown seemed to become a distraction last year and on a team that just won the SB, that’s troubling. Pierce had 47 receptions last year and that was a career high, also troubling. Seems like a risky proposition either way. I won’t be disappointed if the Pats pass on both of them. If I am forced to choose, I’d take Pierce, because he’s younger and might break out eventually. If they can get him in the 20 mil per range, OK. If Brown costs more than a day three pick or two, that’s just too much. Though the ‘26 draft isn’t that strong overall, it’s deep at WR. I think that’s the safest option.
