It also doesn't give the rooks as much time to get assimilated into their new programs.Back when the draft was in April when it's supposed to be, before the league bloodsuckers decided they just never wanted to go away...
The Draft is dead to me until day 2.I hate the draft being so late now. It also doesn't give the rooks as much time to get assimilated into their new programs.
I bet in 2000, GoAT already knew 75% of the offense on day 1 of camp.
Oh yea. Not even a thought in my mind.The Draft is dead to me until day 2.
anyone remember who the compensation was for? I don't
I remember the Pats picking him, thought it was a great pick for the 6th round. I remember watching him at Michigan and thinking, he's pretty good, why are they jacking him around by splitting his snaps with a freshman? Also watched that Orange Bowl where he made a nice comeback. Thought it was an excellent pick for the 6th round.
Never thought it would amount to what it did. In fact was horrified when Drew Bledsoe went down.
Also was more excited by the RB JR Redmond pick in the 3rd round, thought he was gonna be really good, looked like a stud in college.

"In 1999, the Patriots lost linebacker Todd Collins, punter Tom Tupa, defensive tackle Mark Wheeler and offensive lineman Dave Wohlabaugh in free agency. As a result, they were awarded four compensatory picks: Nos. 127, 199, 201 and 239. Because it's a formula, you can't equate an exact one-for-one in terms of the specific lost free agent who netted the 199th pick. For example, you can't just say it was Tupa who yielded the 199th pick. But now, you've got a new trivia question at your disposal: Which four free agents did the Patriots lose in 1999 who helped them draft Brady with a compensatory pick in 2000?"

OK. I'm holding my breath...which one was it?That part's not actually true. It is specifically one of those four.
It's made me harder for 16 years...and, imagine, they say you should see a doctor after 4 measly hours...Another example of Belichick the GM making it harder for Belichick the Coach.
