Pats took Michel over Chubb. Welp. At least Bill is good at drafting late. I wonder what the details are with the conditional picks. Contract year so that’s probably all they were going to get.

Thanks for 2018 Sony.

"Late round picks" could be anything from 4 to 7

Im hoping for at least a 5th on this... 2 6th round picks would make go "hmm", even though i did think it was impossible for us to carry all the RBs

Thought it may have been Bolden or White to go. Sony was looking good so far.

This is a good move for both sides. I think Sony is going to help a SB contender in a contract year. Stevenson & Taylor are too good to not play IMO.

5th and a 6th

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Gave him away nearly... Traded him out of the conference

 

[Uptown]

 

[Nunchucks]

Traded for a bag of balls

 

[RobertWeathers]

Apparently they think Rham and JJ are ready and Harris will hold up.

Sony was a key player in the 2018 SB season. We don't win it without him. Good luck to him in LA.

Not a fan of this move. We basically gave a low-mid tier starter away for nothing. 1 more year of Michel probably would be worth those picks.

Maybe Stevenson or someone else is ready to step in behind Harris and I won't care about this trade anymore.

Is this good value for Sony , a 5th and 6th round pick ??

4th rounder for 1 year of a running back isn't really nothing.

4th rounder for 1 year of a running back isn't really nothing.

Yup.

 

[Froob]

Pretty good value...guess I'm good with it if it paves the way for JJ Taylor to make the squad. Thanks for everything champ, no regrets on the pick.

 

[Love The Drake]

I don’t love this trade hope the backs stay healthy.
I predicted Michel to Rams months ago.
However wanted him packaged for Chubb.

 

[Sicilian]

I think the trade value is good, considering they were going to have to cut one of these guys anyway unless you're keeping 6 RBs (and likely a FB). What's questionable to me is the timing: Maybe the Rams had a deal for someone else on the table and this had to happen now, but I would have preferred to wait until after the last preseason game in case 1 or 2 guys got hurt. Injuries can turn a deep room into a shallow one real fast.

Either way, thank you for your contributions to the 2018 run Sony! You weren't the best 1st round pick, but you got way more hate here than you deserved.
