That’s my point though. If they thought a guy like Clark was only slightly better than Flowers, they would’ve gotten more than a 3rd round comp pick for him.

1. They weren't going to trade Flowers (or any other impact player) during the middle of a SB run in what was Brady's likely last shot.
2. They took the 3rd round comp because they'd rather pay DBs to cover 100% of the time than millions to rushers that are on the field only 2/3 of the time. Given how quickly most offenses get the ball out, it's a pretty sound strategy, too.
