The thing that I am most bothered by is Goodell taking away our 2016 first round pick without even knowing the actual value of the pick. Most of us me included assume this is going to be the loss of a late first round pick, but realistically it may not be. During the 2011 offseason I think most would have expected the Colts to be picking in the late part of the 2012 draft. Then they ended up with the #1 overall pick.
I'm not saying we are going to have a losing season, but in a game that has the potential for injury that the NFL offers you never know. What irritates me is I feel that Goodell could have issued the sanction against the 2015 pick, which would have been #32 overall, but instead he likely delayed it to intentionally to allow him to take the 2016 pick with the hope of screwing us over more.
Looking at the situation Goodell has done his due diligence to put the Patriots in the best position to lose a high draft pick in 2016. He allowed his team the Jets to tamper with and sign one of our best players for a mere $100K, and he suspended our HOF QB for 1/4 of the season.
It's pretty simple it may end up being the #32 pick, but at the end of the day no matter how small the chance may actually be this means Goodell blindly issued a sanction that holds the possibility of being the #1 overall, pick, or more possiblily a top 10 pick. This means without even knowing Goodell could have taken the next Andrew Luck, JJ Watt, etc. from this team.
People say Kraft is an intelligent man, but I question that because no intelligent man I know would accept a penalty without even knowing exactly what it is. Kraft has now done it twice. In 2007 he got away with it, unlike Roger Goodell I only hope he is fortunate enough to get away with it again.
