The Pats are going avaunt what that traditionally do every year. Belichek works the board with picks & trading picks like no other. He values picks very much. So for him to sign so many FA's & give up so many picks is unusual, unless he of course knows the minimum offer he can get for . Which is probably somewhere around a 1st & a 3rd or a 1st & two 2nd's, in different years. The Browns have MAD valuable picks. Belichek is too draft savvy to not have valuable picks to work with. And I think the Browns will be trading for Jimmy G. A bit shocked what he gave up for Cooks, and why Gilmour appeals so much more to him than Butler, who he seems willing to let walk. But again, Butler walks & NE gets a 1st rounder back. Def a method to the Belichek madness.
So who will be his grinder this year.....Blunt or Peterson? I'm calling Peterson. Jamaal Charles to GB. Blunt to Pitt. Philly drafts Dalvin Cook, Fournette to JAX, McCaffery to Indy.
John Mausen - 7 years ago
Saints had too many receivers and traded for something they need.
Using 2015 and a healthy Gronk as a baseline, NE targets are:
Gronk - 120
Edelman - 85
Cooks - 85
I don't see Brady throwing a lot of deep floaters to Cooks, unless this move is foreshadowing a QB transition to Jimmy G after 2017. Then the trade makes a ton of sense.
