Lombardi is drinking the kool aid
Except it's not a third from the Browns, it's one of the Browns' compensation picks. Meaning, at the end of the third round. Compensation picks are now trade-able, and that's what we traded for.
The return, while disappointing, is market value. If another team offered notably more, that would have been the trade. Obviously this was the best that was offered.Thats all good. But doesnt explain the poor return. Thats just unacceptable.
yes the following year...so they lose 8 games on a SB caliber team for a comp. 3rd rounder 1 year earlier..doesn't make senseI don't get it...if Collins had walked in free agency, wouldn't we get a third round compensatory pick anyway?
compensatory 3rd round..so basically this is an early 4th rounder
he darn well better be certain we are winning the Super Bowl without him********
91 is a beast.Are you telling me we couldn't get a third for him AFTER the season, even if we let him walk were getting a 4th in the compensation draft area.
So a THIRD from the browns? seriously?

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. The little news of the deal that's available isn't very clear. We'll have to wait for more info. Maybe it's a third that could turn into a second, etc...Compensatory 3rd doesn't mean Compensation pick. Cleveland has multiple 3rd round picks. Compensatory 3rd means that the pick will be based on how Collins performs for them..
If you're couched in your office in Cleveland, Houston or fill-in-the-blank city and Belichick dials you up ... what goes through your mind? "We're about to fleece the greatest coach in NFL history," or something closer to: "Crap. What does Bill know that we don't?"
Well, I guess Hightower is getting franchised.
I'm surprised they couldn't get at least a second for Collins. Even if they want to start Roberts over Collins, I'd rather hold onto Collins for injury protection and take the comp pick (likely a late third)...
In fairness, we don't know what the condition is.Thats all good. But doesnt explain the poor return. Thats just unacceptable.
