Big Turk Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Kind of a weird trade. Patriots get 2 picks back for their 5th, the Texans 6th and 7th round picks. Patriots didn't have a 7th this year. Usually don't see these ahead of the draft as they typically depend who is on the board at the time of the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. To put more context to this tade, the Pats traded back 13 spots from their 5th round pick in exchange for a 7th round pick. Pats trade away to Texans: Pick #170 Pats acquire from Texans: Pick #183 and #245. I would say this trade is fair, but slightly favors the Pats. At that later point in the draft, the difference in quality of players isn't that great and the chances of them making the roster are about the same. I doubt there's a statistic that would show the success rate of Player #170 vs. Player #183, but I would guess it wouldn't be much different. So the Pats get a fairly equivalent pick, plus another flyer in the 7th round. It certainly seems like a silly trade for the Texans to make at this point in time. I could see it being made during the draft (as mentioned above) if there was a particular player targeted at that spot that the Texans really wanted and feared might get away, but why make that trade now?

Exactly right. The chances of getting a starter that late aren't great. The chances of getting a difference maker are even slimmer. There's been statistical studies on this. The 5th, 6th and 7th rounds are not loaded with talent. Though there's usually a Pro Bowler or two buried in there somewhere. But the odds of finding a Pro Bowler in the 7th round are pretty much the same as finding one in the 5th. In either case, it's a long shot. Belichick is effectively doubling his chances of getting a good player. Or very nearly so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a silly trade for the Texans, for one main reason: They're early in a rebuild. You'd think they'd want as many draft picks as possible. They're not like the Bills or Chiefs, saying to themselves that they don't think a 7th round pick will make the roster. For the Texans to be the ones giving up the extra pick, and to be doing it this far in advance, is just bizarre. Nick Cesario appears to have been out-gamed by his old chum Belichick on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Players at that point in the draft all have about the same chance of success, so basically Belicheck picked up an extra 7th. Maybe he gets lucky with that extra pick.

machine gun kelly Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) So which one is Belichick? This is much ado about nothing. Belichick is a good coach, but a terrible GM. The longer he gets away from Brady, the worse he looks. Edited April 26, 2022 by machine gun kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so well the last three or four years but overall pretty damn well. Belichick has been an excellent GM for the vast majority of his NE career. And he's done so while consistently drafting from about 25 and even lower. Would he have done it without Brady? No, almost certainly not, but he's the one who drafted Brady, and with a comp pick besides. I'm so happy to see that he simply isn't doing well lately. It's wonderful to see that, but he's been terrific overall. Edited April 26, 2022 by Thurman#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how they built their second dynasty team around Brady. This trade is for the Texans to target a specialist IMO. Watch them take a punter or kicker.

It's less money and 5th round picks for the most part are in no mans land. 6th and 7th at this point are developmental and can probably be stashed in PS, 5th might be poached by another team.

Rc2catch Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It’s just extra ammo to move around a little bit. Bill always moves around in the draft. He’ll probably end up with 2 extra picks for next year before the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
