Another former Browns general manager -- Mike Lombardi (also a former Patriots personnel executive) -- told Bill Simmons on a podcast Thursday that the Patriots goofed in not snatching up Pryor. Lombardi was in New England when they worked him out in September.
"We blew it," Lombardi said, repeating himself five times. "The league often gives you a chance to be great and if you don't talk advantage of it, it's your own fault and that was one of those times we didn't take advantage of it in New England, clearly."
He went on to say, "It was all right there in front of us and we didn't make the right decision at that point, but that's life. You move on."
