Wut? Am I missing something?

With claiming Matt Corral, the Patriots essentially gained 2 picks, our 3rd and our 4th for free. We didn't lose 3 picks in that trade, no matter which way you slice it. That's some head scratching math.

But....they got Matt Corral as their backup QB.  is that a win?

I meant it like “now they have 3 of our things.”

But yes they originally had the pick. So yes. They originally got 2 of our things, and we got one of their things, and we drafted a player with that thing, but now they have the player we picked, and they still have the others 2 things of ours.

 

Math hurts. You’re right. I concede. fug the Pats.

Not going to lose any sleep over this. I will wonder if Bill did this purely out of spite.

What brilliant thing has belichick done since Brady walked out?

Was it replacing offensive coaches with defensive coaches?

Someone show me how me how he's currently smarter than everyone else.

Me old mate Bill was ordinary before Brady and after he left. He’s sacked this off-season or retires before it happens

Within 2 months…he will be released

Wouldn't surprise me. Just his lame ass attempt at irony.

He's always been a punk ass troll.

Taking on Corral is definitely a troll job.

 

That kid is not NFL level at this point.

Watch he fails his physical

Matt Corral this seasons SB MVP.

Completing a game against the bucs. Domination.

Gotta give the front office credit.  They are playing no favorites,  when assembling their 53.  They are keeping whom they feel are the best 53, how they got here doesn't matter.

So we could have grabbed DJ Johnson with our original 3rd without doing another trade, or taken Byron Young, who was still available. Draft masterclass

I’ve been soured on Fitterer from the moment he took Jaycee Horn over Fields, Parsons, Slater, or even Patrick Surtain II. He is always on the losing end of his draft day trades.

Eh, think that's a little bit revisionist history and a little bit misguided.

Nobody could have predicted Horn's injury issues and I still think he can be alive if he can stay healthy, so still not upset about taking him instead of Surtain, but that's really the only one of those players I'd have been okay with there.

I'm still convinced Fields will end up as a bust, he can't throw the ball and at some point he won't be able to run it every play (even when he did, they ended up with the worst record in the league).

Parsons wasn't what he is now coming out, he was a MLB, which we weren't taking at 8.  In a re-draft right now, he goes #2 behind Lawrence and if everyone knew he'd end up the pass rusher he is, he probably ends up going 3 after Lawrence and Wilson at the time anyways.

And Slater would have been a reach there are the time, I'd have been okay trading back a bit to get him, but not at 8 then.
