Falcons trade OL Quinn Ojinnaka to the Patriots

[patriot lifer]

per his BB's last press conference, he makes it sound like Kaczur very well might return later in the season. To bad he's PUP ineligible.

We're really signing some coward scum who roughed up his wife?

Disappointing and sad.

PFF analysis.........very relevant

Dante and BB's analysis............significantly more relevant

I agree. But is it a coincidence that players selected by the Patriots Caoches, all make high grades on PFF? Guys like Neal, Volmer etc?

we traded hochstein for a 7th to the Broncos last year, so it's probably similar.

That Hochstein trade looks awful now.

Not a coincidence. PFF watches every play of every player at every position to form their grades. I am sure BB does the same extensive research and more.

.....unless, of course, that 7th rounder turned out to be #11.

No such luck, it's now half of Thomas Welch.

Regardless, Hochstein was pretty clearly a "trade rather than cut" scenario so he wouldn't be an option now anyway.

Excellent point.

EXACTLY.

BELIEVE me: I would LOVE to cryogenically freeze about an half dozen guys, each and every year...but 53 means 53!!

This is another snag at a life preserver, just like Stapleton and Ghiaciuc. They are now in a position where they feel they need to trade for players who might not have made other teams' rosters.

Bingo.

Anything more than a conditional 7th-rounder for this JAG is over-payment.
