I just mentioned on another thread that the Jets have as many of our
2007 draft choices on their 53 man roster as we do (grand total of one).
Three out of nine is pretty lousy no matter how good the drafting team is.
If the Pats were going to blow away the 2007 draft, why didn't they
trade away all their choices except for the four complementary picks?
The Patriots came into the draft with six trade-able picks:
24,28,91,127,180,202
As of right now, those draft picks have yielded the following:
Brandon Meriwether
Randy Moss
Mike Richardson
Oscar Lua
Possible 4th overall pick in the 2008 draft
Possible 69th overall pick in the 2008 draft
If we pretend that the draft pick value chart makes any sense, then the 2008 picks alone are currently worth 2045 DPVC points
So, in exchange for six picks worth 1613 DPVC points in the 2007 draft we got:
2045 DPVC points in the 2008 draft
Randy Moss
Brandon Meriwether
Mike Richardson and
Oscar Lua
Which part of this is the bad part?
Kareem Brown (127th pick) and Justin Rogers (180th pick) couldn't hold onto roster spots on what may be the greatest team ever to play the game (total of 65.4 DPVC points down the drain). Boo effing Hoo.
