DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2018 Draft Day Three (Rounds 4-7) Thread

More bad news for those with binkys.
Miguel thinks a smaller than normal UDFA group for the Pats this year.
 
No amount of trading will appease people who think the JG deal was bad.
There's two answers.

1. In a vacuum it's a bad value trade. Assuming Jimmy becomes a true franchise or god forbid an elite QB, we were never going to replace him and a second will seem egregiously low.

2. Outside of the vacuum, the true context is Jimmy or Brady was leaving and Brady was playing his best stretch of football and amidst an MVP season so you were either going to trade Brady and resign Jimmy in the middle of that (or right after an MVP and Super Bowl appearance season) or let Jimmy walk. Or cripple the team for years to come by signing both.
 
I forgot about Jaylen Samuels. Do it

We got a lot more than if we didn’t trade him.
 
BTW, bright side alert!


Between Patterson and the Duke, Cyrus Jones' slot on the 90 man roster may open up.
 
Our pick is coming up soon...who do we trade it too?
 
People mad about dealing out of r4. Just wait until we deal Detroit’s 2019 3rd for a 2020 2nd rounder.

They actually did that with a pick from the Raiders - 2007-2009, IIRC.

It would make sense. It will be the highest of our 3rd rounders and the only one we can trade out of
