IMO the Pats are selling fools gold, Polo is in the last year of his deal, and any team trading for him would have to extend him this season, next, or offer the tag. 

If I'm one of those teams at the top, I'm taking the QB I believe has the best chance to develop and succeed. I will live with the rookie deal while we determine that while using the cap room to help solidify the roster in other areas to keep the pressure on the young QB as low as possible. 

There have been to many examples of QBs looking good for a hand full of games or less and flaming out after being traded/signed to big deals. Matt Flynn, Matt Shaub, Matt Cassell <<< trend on the name Matt. I think Polo falls into that same trap for other GMs if they take that risk. 

If Polo eventually replaces Brady ON THE PATRIOTS  I think he will be a 10+ win QB. Elsewhere I can't see it based off the limited games played.

Tim Brady is 39 years old. If Belichick thought Garoppolo was anything special, he wouldn't be willing to trade him. The fact that he is willing to trade him tells me that Belichick knows he's nothing special and he can just draft another one.

Brady plans to play for another five years. That's an eternity in the NFL, but I get your point.

Jimmy G looks good though.

Brady's play will drop off in the next year or two, and it'll be an immediate huge drop off, not a gradual one. That's what happens with old QBs. Favre was the best QB in the league with the Vikings his last year there and all of a sudden after that, the worst. Peyton was the best in '13 and '14 and in '15, the worst. Brady's no different. It may come a little bit later than those QBs but no matter how well you've mastered the position, when you lose your arm, you're done. I bet Brady is retired at this time in 2 years.

He looked good the first couple games this year that's true, but I'd be extremely weary. Every QB under Belichick in NE has looked not only good, but great. That's why I'm far from convinced Brady's even a top 5 QB, let alone the GOAT. Yes he's won the most and is clearly a HoF and one of the best of his generation, but what other QBs had such a great head coach? Belichick can make almost any QB a Hall of Famer, if you ask me. And I'd probably admire the guy if he weren't a cheating scumbag. Makes you wonder why, when he's so good at coaching, he felt the need to go beyond the rules.

For New England it's a no brainer in my mind. The Pats are in the ultimate win now mode. They know they probably have three years left of Brady. Trading Jimmy might hurt in them in the longterm but boosts their short term drastically. 

 

I'd be wary but if you're a team like Cleveland, what do you have to lose. You probably were drafting a bust with that pick anyways.

      They played some good teams but they also played a lot of pee wee college defenses too.  Warren won't be that open in the NFL.  Although credit where it's due, he did make some contested catches against good coverage.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.
