And you weep for them?!?!  This has got to be Stockholm syndrome. You have learned to love the Pats after 20 years of them dominating us. One downvote simply isn't enough.  LOL  I'm just kidding around. If NE lost every game they played 51-0 I would still watch every snap to enjoy it!  I do want to see how hyped and melodramatic the Brady return to NE this season will be, though. Jimmy G being the QB there just adds to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 18 minutes ago, mannc said: I agree that they will probably be able to get their guy at 6, but they did not pick up a single extra pick this year in exchange for making a very significant move back in a loaded draft year. The only first round pick they got is two years down the road and is from a team that probably will finish pretty high in the standings.  And I hate the Texans for single-handedly making Miami a pesky contender. The Phins will get the player (probably receiver) that they have targeted with this slight trade down. In addition, they currently already have more than a full complement of picks before even making this deal. Even if the acquired first round pick is for two years in the future that is a bonus because the pick that they made in the trade down will probably be the same player that they would have taken with the pick they originally had. They are putting themselves in a good situation now and in the near future. That's smart maneuvering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jletha Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) they added a third, and a first in 2023 (who even knows what theyll look like then) and lost all leverage since there are only 4 QBs anyone cares about. This does very little to make them any more competitive in the next two years, the most important for Tua, then before they made the trade. I dont really see why they did this so early. Wilson's pro day was TODAY. Let the hype build a little bit. Weird move for sure. Â Add in the trading of Shaq and releasing of Van Noy, the GM is making some odd moves.

Hit in his rookie year 1st - Noah Igbinoghene CB. Stuggled some in his rookie year but shows potential 2nd - Robert Hunt RT. Solid if not spectacular, will get better 2nd - Raekwon Davis. DT.

Not a starter, but still is a valuable depth piece for them  2018: 2nd - Mike Gesicki, TE: Stud 3rd: Jerome Baker, LB: stud   To be clear, as a Bills fan - this isn't something I worry about.

There were no trade-up talks with the Jets at 2." / Twitter  Don't know if this was posted but SF never had talks with the Jets for the #2 pick.
