Fun fact: This is the first time ever the pats have traded a future first round pick!

[Grogan14]

They did trade a first rounder to the jets for BB but that was in same year as BB took over

Very very risky

Using first round picks is risky too.

Cole Strange, anyone?

There's risk no matter where you look.

They traded #32 for Cooks in the 2017 draft

Hopefully the last.

They traded #32 for Cooks in the 2017

That pick was traded in March 2017 for the April 2017 draft. So they knew it would be pick 32.

Never have they traded a year (let alone 2 years) in advance when they did not know where they would be picking

Dumb move

4th rounder for Randy Moss
1st and a 5th for AJ Brown where you do not know the value of the pick.
Its like going into a super market blind folded

This is very bad front office management
