Say what you want about mock drafts but they can be useful as means of a simulation. A way to test out various scenarios. For some New England Patriots fans, a nightmare draft scenario begins with Alabama quarterback Mac Jones at the 15th overall selection in the draft. Perhaps that describes you. Perhaps not. But what could that look like? That is how this installment begins. Mark Schofield dives into the Mock Draft Simulator at The Draft Network to explore what the board - and the final draft class - could look like if Jones is indeed the selection at 15. Then, listener mocks, including perhaps Mark's all-time favorite submission to kick off the second half of the show. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the first half of the show we dive into two Alabama prospects who may -- might? -- be options for the New England Patriots with the 15th pick in the draft.

In the first half of the show Mark Schofield recounts a live mock draft that he created at the end of last week, when he was able to join the one and only Trevor Sikkema of The Draft Network for a rollicking good time.

NFL free agency is unofficially underway, with teams now able to place the franchise tag on players. This means it is as good a time as any to open up the free agency discussion. In Episode 175 of The Scho Show we begin with a discussion of the New England Patriots' current crop of free agents, diving into why the focus should begin with a look at the trenches. In the second part of the show we take a look at some potential targets for the Patriots in free agency and yes, we talk about weapons. Some additions at both wide receiver and tight end should be explored.

We are back! Fresh and rested off a little hiatus The Scho Show returns with another Mock Draft Monday. Draft season fully is upon us, and if it's Monday it means another episode with fantasies about what Bill Belichick is absolutely, positively not going to do with the New England Patriots' allotments of draft picks. Before diving into the listener mocks, however, it is time for a rant. Mark Schofield worked up some angst over the hiatus and since silly season is upon us, it's time to blow off some steam.

Sure, the New England Patriots are not in the Super Bowl, but Tom Brady is. Mark Schofield delivers his preview of the big game. From what to watch for when the Kansas City Chiefs have the football (Do they take the bait and try and run the ball, or do they stick to what they did in Week 12? Who covers Travis Kelce?) to what to watch for when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the football (Is it the Steve Spagnuolo game plan from Super Bowl 42, or perhaps the Rex Ryan game plan from 2010?) and everything in between.

Thanks to Jim Nagy and the rest of the great team that runs the Senior Bowl those with virtual credentials still have access to all of the film from practice, complete with every angle of every rep in practice. So after an late-night/early-morning of grinding the film I've got some practice observations. Including, but not limited to: Cautious passers on the National Roster; Jamie Newman, Senior Bowl QB1?

We are back for a Wednesday afternoon edition of The Scho Show. In this installment we talk playoffs, looking ahead to this weekend's games. We start on the AFC side, highlighting what the teams have to do to come out victorious. The Bills need to deny free access and stop the run, while the Ravens might need to cloud the picture for Josh Allen. Cleveland needs to be perfect - or darn close to it - while the Chiefs need to do what they might do best: Push the ball downfield. On the NFC side, the games might be determined when these units are on the field: Green Bay's offense versus Los Angeles's defense, and Tampa Bay's offense versus Dennis Allen and the Saints defense. Then we talk some QB landing spots and odds, plus an announcement on the next chapter of the Scho Show Slack Channel. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2020 New England Patriots were at the same time unimpressive, exciting, intriguing, and boring. Finishing the season with a 7-9 record, capped off with a win against the New York Jets, sounds about right. There are points for concern heading into 2021, and points for hope. There are questions up and down the roster as the team looks to flip its roster for a second-straight offseason. How will we remember the 2020 season? Will we remember it?

In this installment of The Scho Show we talk about the season we saw from Newton, and speculate a bit about the future. Then, we look even more into the future. In the second segment we dive into the playoffs and yes, we have an actual NFC East Champion! We work through each of hte matchup with some early thoughts on what to look for.

They weren't particularly bad, but this 2020 New England Patriots team will certainly be forgettable as they prepare to finish their season against the 2-13 New York Jets with absolutely nothing on the line, except for pride- and the Jets may have the edge in that department. This Patriots team can't stop the run and they can't score on offense, which is a recipe for disaster as New England's strengths of running the ball and defending the pass become completely irrelevant in a competitive game, or one where the Patriots are trailing. So what do Patriots fans have to look forward to, apart from the 3rd-most cap space in the entire NFL and a bright future? Well, how about getting a chance to either beat the Jets and save some face, or potentially wind up with a top 10 pick? Learn more about your ad choices.

A bevy of questions this week to get to, including: Bigger villain: Alan Rickman in "Die Hard" or Alan Rickman in "Love Actually?" How should the Patriots handle free agents-to be? How should the Patriots handle the quarterback position? Thoughts on Zach Wilson Where is Lamar Jackson right now? What was my Arby's tab in 2020? Best Christmas movie?

Not the best selling job with that episode title, but hey, we work with what we've got. It was a bad night on Monday. As someone who adores "Love Actually," ESPN's ridiculous Brady/Belichick graphic stealing a scene from that movie was horrific to see. And yet, it still was not the worst thing we saw Monday night. Whether it was the woefully dismal dumpster fire of suck that is the current Patriots passing game, a defense surrendering ten yards a pop on smoke screens, or surrender punts early in the second half, it was all bad and I needed to vent for a bit. In the second half of the show, I dive into a huge question simmering under the surface about the future. Not the "who" or the "what" of the quarterback position, but the "how."

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! The New England Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs, meaning that they don't have much to play for the rest of the season. That does not apply to the Buffalo Bills, which are jockeying for the #2 seed in the AFC. So can the Patriots play spoiler and hamper Buffalo's playoff seeding? Or should they finally hand the keys to the car to Jarrett Stidham and see what he can do with a full game under center? Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots traveled to Miami to face the Dolphins with their playoff hopes on the line and, uh, we guess they played? The Patriots offense never found its footing against a great Dolphins defense, which limited the Patriots to four field goals, and the defense was gashed on the ground. So.

The New England Patriots' slim playoff chances were dashed on Sunday with a loss to the Miami Dolphins. On yet another NFL afternoon, the offense failed to show any sort of punch, and that amounted to a season-crippling defeat down in South Beach. In the first half of this show we look at how this loss came about on both a micro- and a macro-level. The offense is the focus of discussion, as expected, but the defense is not let off the hook. Then in the second half of the show the book is closed on 2020, as the roster evaluation process for 2021 has to begin in earnest, starting now. Of course, that starts with the quarterback position. Thoughts on Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham give way to free agency, the draft and yes, the draft evaluation process. Also, get some questions in now for a Christmas Eve installment of The Scho Show.
