For those who said a high comp pick for losing Talib...doesn't signing Revis put a damper on how high that pick is ?
Revis wasn't a FA, the Bucs cut him.

A conditional 2016 7th? That does kind of suck ass.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 5m
Terms: The #Texans traded a 2016 conditional 7th round pick for #Patriots QB Ryan Mallett, source said.

Whew. For a while there I was concerned about this trade, but after reading Craig's analysis, I'm now convinced it must be the right thing for the team. .This was a bad bad deal for the patriots. They may as well have let him become a fa after making him a backup all that time. This was a bad trade for the patriots because bill wasted a draft pick in a loaded draft on mallett in hopes mallet could be traded for more. That pick could have been used as part of a trade up in that draft for watt or Quinn or Julio Jones or aj green.Or been used on Justin Houston or jurell Casey. Mallet still could be a good qb with an established #1 WR and a center and RG where he doesn't have to throw right after the snap
I was fine with it being a 6th and hoping maybe it could upgrade to a 5th. But it being a max of a 6 is disappointing. I'd have kept him instead of that.
That seems bizarre to me. The Pats could have let Mallett walk in FA and likely gotten a 2016 7th round comp pick. Weird.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the New England Patriots have traded Mallett to the Houston Texans, according to a source. The Patriots received a conditional 2016 seventh-round pick, per Rapoport.
There's no guarantee there. At least this is guaranteed and frees up a roster spot.
Exactly. I don't think the "guarantee" of a 2016 7th is work very much, so the Pats obviously wanted to dump Mallett and free up a roster spot.
