Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley episodes

April 16, 2025 Is Abdul Carter Back On The Board For Patriots At No. 4?
The Giants hosted Shadeur Sanders for a private workout this week. Does that mean the Patriots MIGHT have a chance to draft Abdul Carter at No. 4? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to weight that possibility, parse through what Mike Vrabel said at his pre-draft press conference, debate Adam Vinatieri vs. Julian Edelman in the team hall of fame debate, and weigh in on whatever the heck is going on with Bill Belichick at UNC.

April 08, 2025 New 2025 Mock Draft: No Travis Hunter, No Abdul Carter, So What's Next For Patriots?
Mock Draft SZN rolls on as Doug Kyed presents his latest batch of picks for the Patriots. With the picture somewhat taking shape in the top three spots, it's looking like the Patriots may have to "settle" at No. 4. But there are loads of options, including trades down (and up from the second round), and Doug and Michael Hurley explore them all. There's also an extended Joe Milton conversation, because that thing has turned into a mess, and some Blink 182/Linkin Park/Brand New/Warped Tour conversation for the pop punkers out there.

ALSO! Buy tickets for the Pats Draught Party at Vitamin Sea Brewing in Weymouth on April 17 at 7:30 p.m. All funds go directly to Doug's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fundraising campaign. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-draught-party-2025-tickets-1308577002039?aff=oddtdtcreator You can also donate directly at princesshallieforever.com.

April 03, 2025 Patriots Trade Joe Milton III To Cowboys -- Reacting To Trade Return
The Patriots have traded backup quarterback Joe Milton III to the Cowboys, getting a fifth-round pick from Dallas (while sending a seventh-round pick over to the Cowboys in the process). Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley sort out whether this was a good, bad or medium return for the Patriots, while also running through some of Josh McDaniels' press conference comments and then offering some really sage thoughts on press conferences in general.

April 02, 2025 Mike Vrabel, Robert Kraft Speak On State Of Patriots At NFL Owners Meetings
Doug Kyed is back from the NFL owners meetings (after some classic sports journalist travel snafus), and he and Michael Hurley recap what stood out from Robert Kraft's and Mike Vrabel's public comments in Florida. There's also some good Bill Parcells Patriots Hall of Fame discussion, and an impromptu Ashton Jeanty vs. Tyler Warren debate. And of course it wouldn't be a Pats Chat episode without some Will Campbell arm length talk.

March 27, 2025 How Much Does Stefon Diggs Help Patriots? And Is There More Clarity On Draft Plans?
Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are back to assess the impact of the Patriots' signing of Stefon Diggs. He fills an important void on the roster, but how much will he elevate the offense with Drake Maye? They also lay out some draft possibilities, with Will Campbell looking a bit more likely as the target at No. 4, before really going off the rails with non-Pats Chat toward the end.

Doug also announced that he and his family are raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphona Society, in honor of his daughter Hallie. For more information and to donate, visit https://pages.lls.org/voy/ma/ma25/dougkyed.

March 03, 2025 All Of The Patriots Intel From Combine: Free Agency, Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye, Draft Plans And More
Doug Kyed and Andrew Callahan shared all of the intel they gathered at the combine in a big ol' Sunday column in the Boston Herald, so it was only right that Doug joined himself on his own podcast to answer some questions about it. Michael Hurley threw a few questions his way too, as Doug laid out all that he's learned about the Patriots' plans in free agency and the draft, shared some leftover nuggets from the 2024 season, and much more.
