Interesting trade. Pats will now have two firsts and two seconds in this draft. They could get 4 pretty good players or trade up for someone special. One thing for sure is that Belichick won't show his hand.

Rams mean business. I hate them with a passion because they are so dirty.

 

[Cheesebeef]

man... they are GOING FOR IT.

That team is as stacked as any I can remember. Only question is if they turn out like the 1994 Niners or 2011 Eagles (think that was the year they went crazy in FA).

wouldnt it blow some minds if they packaged up those picks with next years first and traded in to #2 or such to draft a QB

 

[Snakester]

Makes me wonder about Brandon Cooks. Why would he be traded two years in a row?

Trivia question: Cards traded down and the team they traded with picked Cooks. What team made the trade and which two players did the Cards draft as a result?

I think this is a good point for reporters to get some info on

 

[Dayman]

Better Cooks than OBJ. And Cooks is up for a new contract next year, so the Rams have another salary situation to figure out next year.

Saints. Cards get extra 3rd. Drafted DBuc and John Brown

Pats gave up a 1st and a 3rd in exchange for Cooks and a 4th.

You were on that one. Who do you think got the better deal?

Billy B saw trade value... the Pats dont really value WR's much. Having four picks in the top 64 can add some nice talent to their roster... whereas Cooks didnt make much of a difference for them...65 catches with 7 TD's is not that hard to replace...

The Rams on the other hand are playing smart.... they are building a team to beat Minnesota and Philly.... kinda expect them to go heavy on linemen(o&D) in the draft...and a RB

The team was the saints and we got Deone Bucannon and John Brown. Looked like a great trade until John brown and Bucc couldn’t stay healthy...

Damn. U beat me to it

Cardinals. Both DBuc and JB shined for cardinals (in their own ways)

They have to upgrade from Goff.

They have to upgrade from Goff.

The same Goff who was the number one pick in the draft and threw 28 tds and only 7 ints in his second year?

I'm not saying he'll definitely be good, but there is no way they are looking to move on from him right now.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pats make Lauletta a 1st round pick with this move - or Jackson/Rudolph.

But, I honestly don't see the point of them making this trade. Brady's running really thin on weapons now.

Brady makes WRs

Plus, I’ve read a gronk trade is likely.

Heard that report was an April Fool’s joke today. Not sure of veracity of that tho.
