It's a recap of some of the best and worst BB draft day trades. Just curious as to what you guys think is the worst? My vote is Chad Jackson
The Boston Herald really shouldn't be critiquing anything related to the NFL draft. I mean, they still let Borges spew his nonsensical garbage. So any publication that allows one of their ****ty writers (not journalist, writer) write something as ******ed as:
"On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second best tackle in the draft Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour who had 1 1/2 sacks last year in the pass-happy SEC, and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in the draft Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon."Maybe the Herald should run an article on their OWN asshats instead of constantly harping on stupid ****.
As for the article itself, it actually includes the trade-back for Darius Butler vs. Clay Matthews, without including all of the picks which eventually went into Jules and most of Gronkowski. But that would require...work. So can't expect the Herald to do some of that.
What a ****ing rag. I can't believe I clicked on an article.
I believe Ron Burges was with the Globe when he though they should have picked David Terrell instead of Richard Seymore.
Then again, he may have stolen that from Mike Sando.
2009: Darius Butler
Traded down from #23 and then from #26 for #41 (Butler), #73 and #83
Agree. You can't really look at it in a vacuum like Howe did. He is usually a much better writer than this.Vehemently disagree with this being in the worst. That trade ended up getting the Pats Gronk and Edelman.

Patriots' best & worst draft day trades of Bill Belichick era | Boston Herald
This is the same trade, over and over again, made with teams who just don’t know what they’re doing. It starts with the Titans. They fell in love with the incredible athleticism of Jared Cook and traded into the third round of the 2009 draft, acquiring the 89th pick for their 2010 second-rounder. They promptly spent the next four years bemoaning that the freak athlete they acquired couldn’t block and refused to play him more than half the time, which is why they’re the Titans.
