Patriots Player Departure BREAKING: Joe Milton traded to Dallas

[Dec54]

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

He's got it now I hope

 

[TomPatriot]

There is some report that they had better offers but Milton wanted to go to Dallas so they took less. If true, wow.

 

[Wozzy]

Aint no way you're serious about this

Drake Maye is already a HOF’er… get a grip.

 

[Ross12]

Again - WHY do people think Milton was worth more than a 5th? He was drafted in the 6th one year ago, so the league valued him as a 6th. All he has done since then was beat Buffalo's 3rd string in a game that his opponent was actively trying to lose. That's not really any different from winning a pre-season game. Whoop dee doo? It elevated his value one round, which is better than nothing.

I don't know why people think that his one game of action against back-of-roster talent and an opponent throwing the game somehow skyrocketed his value. I had him pegged as a 4th at best.

Well ok, no, but nobody is gonna care that Joe Milton is sitting behind Drake Maye when he throws an interception...nobody except 98.5 the sports hub and Mike from woostah will be that stupid to think he's coming to take Maye's job

 

[Sect140]

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.

My biggest concern going into the season is Maye continues to be careless with the ball which was a concern coming out of UNC.

 

[Real fan 02]

Probably a pick so we can grab a kicker. Slye sucks. Ryland was the guy and we cut him. Need a new draft pick for a new kicker.

Tucker-Romo any good?? On the trade..This move was more of the team doing right by JM3 Granting his wishes to be able to go somewhere to have a chance to start.. with rumors swirling about Dak being moved it's sensible...

 

[tuckeverlasting]

now they're saying there was a better offer

 

[Sect140]

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.

They you speak of are no longer on the Patriots coaching staff.

Not one interception, what if he starts throwing them every game like Mac Jones.

It’s not the media the coaches have to worry about, it’s the lockerroom. The players will see another young 6’5” beast in there as wonder why he isn’t getting a shot as the losses pile up.

I've been saying that for a couple months now, almost word for word.

We need to file a missing persons report with the Massachusetts State Police because all the people who argued with me - and believe me there were plenty - have completely disappeared. I am very concerned about their well being.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Clearly at this time the league felt he wasn't worth a 4th rd pick like some here claim.

The NEP already had 3 7th rounders which according to Jimmy Johnson's point chart depending on the pick # are worth individually 2-14 points. The 5th (again depending on the pick #) are worth 27-44 points.

Dallas had 3 5th rounders. Not sure which one they traded to us.

The picks traded kinda determine what his market value was. Was it a 5th or a 6th. TBD

My gut tells me they didn't think Milton was going to be a fit here for the offense or just in general. Whether he still had a lot to learn, etc. not sure.

Seems we might be drafting a QB?

 

[Ross12]

I didn't think about the Prescott rumors - worth mentioning. I don't know how much validity there is to those, at least right now, but he's in his 30s and has never been all that impressive while also being grossly overpaid so I could see it at some point.

 

[Wozzy]

Agreed, everyone thinks he is a superstar already. He still has a lot of developing and improving to do.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Disappointing but there must have been no action on Milton and they wanted to take something tangible and fill in their empty 6th round slot. Probably thinking place kicker with this pick. Still a letdown tho. The comp wasn't all Wolf's decision alone, it was a group decision I'm sure.

 

[Thunderhead]

The Patriots are sending back a 7th, which is conveniently being left out by everyone supporting this deal. They essentially got nothing for Milton- just recouped what capital they used to draft him.

 

[Steve102]

flipping a 6th for a 5th for a practice squad player? we just fleeced the Cowboys, lol

Watching everyone freak out because they gave him away is funny. Clearly, none of us here on this forum know what the hell we are talking about. Everyone here thought he was worth more. Some guys wanted a 2nd. I seem to recall someone wanted a 1st. So.. who's right? Us, sitting on the computer, picking our ass and yelling "Ma! The meatloaf!!" or the pros in the NFL. Obviously it's us.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I had some pretty intense arguments with the usual idiots in here who thought he was worth a first/second rounder.

My claim was that he was a 6th rounder last year and there is nothing that happened this past year which increased his value significantly. We wouldn't get anything more than a day 3 pick for him and in this case we gave up Milton plus a 7th and still didn't do better than a day 3 pick.

Yeah playing against 3rd stringers in a game where the Bills wanted to get it over with isn't anything that's going to increase his value.

Hes worth more as our backup than a 5th round pick.

That's the point.

You can hold on to him for years before you trade him. There is no rush.

This was a disaster of a trade.

They did not get Dallas’ 5th
They got a compensatory 5th for top of the 7th
Its nothing
They moved up one round at the tail end of the draft
Well played Jerruh

Wolf crapped his pants again
