Never trade with the Patriots

Amnorix · 11-13-2007, 09:49 AM

Dear God... I didn't realize how bad it was, but someone posted this. I can't verify all fo them, but a few I can (Boller for Wilson and Wilfork, for one).

2001: Baltimore takes Kyle Boller. New England take Eugene Wilson and Vince Wilfork

2002: Green Bay acquires Terry Glenn. New England drafts Jarvis Green and Asante Samuel (!!). Glenn leaves GB after one season.

2003: New Orleans acquires Tebucky Jones for three picks. The Pats draft Dan Klecko, Tully Banta-Cain and Dexter Reid. Tebucky bolts NO for Miami after two seasons, and eventually re-signs with NE.

2003: Miami drafts OT Wade Smith (3rd). New England converts the pick into Corey Dillon.

2007: Maimi draft OC Samson Satele (2nd) and DE Arbaham Wright (7th). New England lands Wes Welker.

2007: San Francisco drafts OT Joe Staley (1st). New England gets the SF 1st(2008) plus Randy Moss.

Yupp, when will anyone learn to stop dealing with them.

**Saulbadguy** · 11-13-2007, 09:53 AM

Yes, they are a very good team.

Excellent ownage of desperate teams. Someday I hope we have a FO who can play the patience game and let everyone else give up picks on draft day, then execute the pick properly (e.g. fat samoan slobs unacceptable).

Pushead2 · 11-13-2007, 09:55 AM

Imagine if they were to get someone like McFadden? It's game over next year folks.

Ravens weren't desperate. Just came off a SB win a year earlier. They just mis-judged Boller's potential.

Some of those Dolphins teams were REALLY good during those years, but they kept trading away the future to try to get over the top. I saw a post by a fins fan about their 1st round picks from, something like 1999 to 2007. It was jaw-droppingly horrendous. Half of those years they didn't even HAVE a first round pick, having traded it away.

The Dolphins are god-awful, and it's not clear when/how they'll get better. They may have the least talent in the NFL.

I don't watch any college ball. Have no idea who McFadden is. But I can say that that is exactly who the Pats fan boards are drooling over.

Myself -- I predict we trade down with the pick to the middle/late 1st round, and pick up a high pick next year (a 1 or a 2).

That fits more with SP/BB's track record anyway. If they love a player, though, I'm sure they'll take him.

He is a fast running back , he's like Peterson but much more explosive.

Oy. That would, umm, not suck. Maroney is good, WHEN he's on the field.

I won't bother to look him up, but I will say that a flyweight like Reggie Bush wouldn't exactly fit the Patritos Motif. Then again, I **specifically** remember some moron reporter after the draft questioning Belichick and Belichick slapped him down pretty good with "I think we could find a spot for him somewhere" if we'd had the chance to take him.

If there is a true superstar Safety, we might go that route instead, however. RBs can be easily replaced, and we already have a decent one. Might not be worth the investment for our club, anyway.

Hell, who cares. Unless we take a bust (rare for high picks for BB/SP), then it's a huge victory regardless...

The good teams find ways to keep getting better....

where as our Front Office can't figure it out, as evidence of our last 10 years drafting.
