Patriots Player Departure BREAKING: Joe Milton traded to Dallas

[sb1]

When you put it this way though, it kinda pisses me off that we traded the number 1 overall pick for a effing 5th round comp pick

Oof yeah I'll try not to think of it that way.

 

[JohnJH]

My hot take: The Patriots' 2024 draft, sans the Maye layup, was a complete disaster.

I once said on here, that if we had traded every pick in last years draft after taking Maye and came away with only Xavier Leggette and Braelon Allen, it would have been a much more successful draft then what they actually did.

Again, who says the Pats hold onto the pick. Maybe they did this to acquire picks to move up into the first with their second round pick. Or trade up in the 3rd or 4th.

a compensatory 5th round pick is basically “a couple of jimmies on an ice cream cone”
Minimum value to move up

 

[JohnJH]

The Cowboys are sending their compensatory fifth-round pick to the Patriots for Milton and a seventh-round pick, sources told Schefter.

I believe that we're sending them the 7th Round Pick.

 

[Grogan14]

Milton is/was a Mayo binkie. While we think every Patriots front office person is a dolt and should be fired, JM3 didn't bring better than a 5th is because no team offered better than a 5th. They see him perform every day, we got to see him do a good job is a game each team was trying to lose. JM may be a great athlete, but the NFL thinks he's a backup QB at best.

Keep him for one more year and find out

5th round is WAY to low

Unless the staff knows something we dont (as in, he actually sucks)

Very weird

That the staff knows extremely relevant and important things about this player that we don't is a 100% probability.

 

[JohnJH]

It’s a 6th round value, Milton was a 6th round pick…. so they got nothing.

That's the problem, we got nothing.

 

[FortressX]

This is not good.

Ian might want to pull his Joe Milton story from the center top of the website also.

 

[Ross12]

Not a single person has said this. And the Patriots invited the discourse by keeping Wolf on and attempting to obfuscate who is really in control of personnel.

It's called satire. No one has said this because it sounds stupid, but it's the type of sentiment that goes around.

 

[Wozzy]

This was such a wussy move, they didn’t want to deal with the chirping and locker room dissent if Maye doesn’t stop throwing stupid interceptions. There can’t be dissent if there is no better young option.

 

[Grogan14]

That's the problem, we got nothing.

Zero point zero zero in the words of Dean Werner in animal house.
This team has so few assetts
Can not just give them away

 

[Dec54]

"Every move I like is because of Vrabel, every move I dislike is Wolf's fault"

Yep I thought that too

 

[Gumby]

Bob made this deal as a secret exchange for Jerrah’s HOF vote.

Milton is not better than Maye at anything. The team and the rest of the league agrees with me hence "only" a 5th round pick in return.

You have no clue, nobody does… you can’t see the future. Also if you give up a 7th it has roughly a 6th round value.

Patriots draft pick haul as of now:

Round 1: 4th overall
Round 2: 38th overall
Round 3: 69th overall
Round 3: 77th overall
Round 4: 106th overall
Round 5: 144th overall
Round 5: 174th overall
Round 7 (unknown)
Round 7 (unknown)

With two 3rds and two 5ths, the team is positioned well to move up into the late 1st, up into the late 2nd, etc.

Not hating having another pick (I hardly count 7’s as real picks) but the value could’ve been much better.

Aint no way you're serious about this

 

[DaBruinz]

If you say so, but we just got a 5th round pick for a practice squad player.

I personally didn't think he was worth a draft pick... don't know why anyone thought he was worth a 4th, 3rd or even a 2nd...

seems to me we did pretty well.

They traded Milton and a 7th for a COMP pick. It's not a true 5th round pick.

Milton was far more than a practice squad player. Your comments show that you didn't actually pay attention to last season.

 

[Joey007]

That's the problem, we got nothing.

The point of developing a young QB is to develop him into more value. Not give him away for equal value.

How do you know that to be true. Milton played in one game
He is a better runner than Maye
Could have brought him in for goal line situations.
No creative vision for this front office
