00:45: Hogan on his wife watching him watching the combine. “How do you know what I’m thinking right now?”
1:30: Early thoughts on the Patriots’ free-agent class. “We’ve got something to talk about now! … They’re stacking the deck on defense.”
4:00: On Mack Hollins. “He is not only a guy who has experience with Josh … but he is also a very willing special teamer. He’s also a little bit nuts, in the best possible way.”
7:55: “I firmly believe that Mack Hollins, if he performs the way we think he is able to perform … he is going to be a folk hero in New England this year. This is a guy people are going to go crazy for.”
9:00: Did the Patriots miss the boat on DK Metcalf? Should they have been in on him for a second-round pick?
11:35: On Chris Godwin. “Kudos to him.”
15:12: “If I’m New England, I’m building a team to beat the Bills. How do I beat the Bills?”
15:35: There are a lot of veteran free-agent receivers still out there. Is there a guy or two who might be out there who can fit with Josh and why?

20:11: On Kupp and Keenan Allen: “I know what Josh can do with those guys.”
22:10: What would your free-agent pitch to Kupp and Allen to come to New England sound like? “We can all see Drake.”
26:22: Why the free-agent pitch to Cooper Kupp would be easy.
28:00: Hogan wasn’t impressed with a lot of the receivers who were at the combine. He explains why.
30:00: On the possibility of the Patriots taking Travis Hunter at No. 4. “He is a generational talent. He is arguably the best athlete who has played college football in quite some time. … If he’s there at No. 4, I don’t know how you could pass that up. I really don’t.”
35:00: On Josh McDaniels and what he might be able to do with Hunter from a matchup perspective.
37:00: On Vrabel’s brashness and swagger meshing with Hunter’s big personality. And the logistical challenges of Hunter playing both sides.
40:00: On McDaniels’ temperament. “He can be a little bit of a pain in the butt.”
40:15: Brandin Cooks and Devin McCourty were the only guys who were never on the end of a rant from Bill Belichick or McDaniels.
