Why are the Pats giving away some good picks that may make the Chargers possibly stronger? - Whats up with this? - I don't understand

I think the point of making a trade is that both teams (potentially) improve.

A #2 next year and a 5 this year.

Nice deal!

2nd rounder next year and a 5th this year. Looks like a great deal to me.

because they're reloading on picks. and the pick was better value than any player.

i knew something like this was gonna happen

Yeah but they took Jacob Hester who would have made the perfect Patriot.

Yup, that's right. They just gave the pick away. Would you wait until we find out what the Patriots got before the sky falls, please?

Got the Chargers second rounder next year. Nice deal.

For real? Sounds good.

Re: Pats trade 69 to Chargers

I like it. It'll be a high 2nd rounder, but obviously the Pats aren't crazy about the third round this year enough to want three players out of it.

You can't make decisions based on that. It's stupid. There have been times when the Sox and Yanks would have been perfect trade partners, but the fans would have their heads explode. If you can make a deal that helps you (picking up a 2nd rounder next year in this case when we will need to replace even more old bodies), you do it-- whether it helps the Chargers is not your concern.

5th this year and a 2nd next year.

So that the prophecy might be fulfilled. Post #5.

I called the 5th to be in 09 as well, but I'd call that pretty close.

Chargers take Jacob Hester with the pick.

Re: Pats trade 69 to Chargers

I guess that was not too bad - More reason to hope the CHargers suck this year - but I doubt it,They look to be pretty good so it may be a pick somewhere in the late 50s/early 60s - hopefully not mid 60s

 

[BritPat]

That's an excellent deal. The 2nd rounder may well be a high one, but it's a second rounder all the same.

 

[DarrylS]

As I suspected a very good deal for the Pats...

Re: Pats trade 69 to Chargers for

This is a perfect example of how BB-SP operate and why they are so successful. They set up the '09 draft with an extra 2nd rounder, and at the same time fill the only hole in today's draft board, as we'd traded away our 5th yesterday. SD had no picks today until the 5th, so they were desperate to do something.

We have another 3rd that'll be up in few minutes.

Great move.

Re: Pats trade 69 to Chargers

payroll management at this stage, i'm guessing they think they can get who they want later on.
