we moved up 8 spots and gave away a promising DE who's still on his rookie deal.

Three seasons of crappy play does not equal promising DE.

You want me to admit that Bill and his boys are better coaches than Ron and his gang of cretins?

OK... freely admitted.  You win, lol.

Hahaha.

Just saying they are swindlers man...they will get that 4th round value back(maybe).

As to your other post above yea GMan had a 1st round grade on Ealy if I remember correctly so it wasn't a bad pick.

How much would we have saved if we just cut before June 1st?

[OneBadCat]

Honestly I think Ealy will probably end up being a good player. But clearly DG wants options in the draft.

To be more accurate: We used Kony to move up 9 spots

My buddy here is Charlotte who is a HUGE Pats fan said he is meh on this trade.  He has seen Ealy underperform but feels what they gave up was worth taking a shot.  He is pretty level headed...unlike most Pats fans.

The thing that a lot of zero-sum people don't want to admit (not pointing the finger at you here MH) is that, sometimes, a trade works out as a positive for BOTH teams.

It doesn't always have to be that one team WON and one team got ROBBED!

He has had this "if he could put it together" for 3 seasons.  Guy has been a bust

You have been consistent in your judgement on Ealy for 3 years, so respect for that.

I'm glad we got something for Kony, if this doesn't confirm to you that he wasn't making the team this August I don't know what will 

We must have known 100% that we were going to cut him. Otherwise this trade doesn't make sense.

I really feel like we are drafting a DE with our first pick

Well, if Fournette and Adams aren't there, taking Thomas or Allen would be a good thing.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Seems like a fair trade for both sides. I bet Ealy puts up 8-10 sacks now though :/

If you Check the draft value board, We basically gave up a 3rd and 4th for pick 64. Getting a 4th round pick for Ealy

 

GETTLEMAGIC!!!!!

Happy to get a second rounder but part of me can't help but wonder if Kony will go to New England and become a stud.

I hope he does, just so i can watch the idiots around here, bloe another gasket!!

Moved up into the second round for a guy we were going to cut. Not bad DG. Not bad.

That's what has been lost in all this, we got a 2nd round pick for a guy on the fringe of our roster.
