Mike Vrabel is safe as Patriots head coach — his press conference reassured me

The press conference happened and I was like, all right, we're good. I think we're good. And he's going to counseling.

Mike Vrabel was hired as the New England Patriots head coach in January 2025 and has remained in that position through the 2026 offseason and into the 2026 regular season. Hank's prediction that Vrabel was 'safe' as the Patriots head coach, made on April 24, 2026, has been confirmed by real-world events.

The Cardinals taking Jeremiah Love when they have a million roster holes was the wrong call

Arve Reese falling all the way to five — with the Cardinals taking Jeremiah Love. Anytime you have a million holes and you can add a running back, you gotta do it.

The Giants had a great draft — Burns, Abdul Carter, Arve Reese and a right tackle to protect Jackson Dart is a loaded haul

I love what the Giants did because the Giants now, they could probably trade Thibodaux. They have Burns, Abdul Carter and Arve Reese. And then they got an offensive lineman to hopefully protect Jackson Dart.

Subjective evaluation of draft quality that will play out over years.

Caleb Downs was the best overall player in the 2026 draft

Caleb Downs was my favorite player in this draft. I have to, like, as of the end of this day, I have to move on and pretend that I've always hated Caleb Downs [now that he's a Cowboy], but I thought he was the best player in the draft.

Downs' career trajectory compared to other 2026 draftees will determine this, but it's a bold claim for a safety/defender.

The Colts are even less watchable than the Chargers

They are the deadest, most non-competitive football team, other than the Chargers, that I've ever seen. I think they might be worse.

This is a subjective comparison of two teams' quality and watchability.

The Patriots feel like a one- or two-seed

I feel like the Bills are gonna lose another game. Not against the Patriots. Lose their next game against the Patriots and then we're gonna be in the same spot. So where do you feel though overall? Like are you the two seed? One seed possibly one seed. Two. Two or one seed. Yeah. That's how it feels.

The Patriots' final playoff seed can be resolved after the 2026 regular season, but the outcome is not reliably known here.

The Jets can't build a winning culture

You just can't. It's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

This is a deliberately broad franchise judgment rather than a claim that can be definitively proven or disproven.
