It's easy, and only takes a few moments.There are plenty of examples of backups going on to decent careers, Corey Ivy, Greg Spires, and starters too, Ty Law, Curtis Martin, and heck even Asante Samuel had a decent year.doubt he'll do well in denver
ex pats = usually crap out around the league (players and coaches)
So when we pass this pick on to Oakland, it will make sense as this is a bottom half #5. Thanks.
BSPN says that it was for a 5th rounder....
Le Kevin Smith picked up by Denver Broncos in deal with New England Patriots - ESPN
So I guess it is safe to say that the Pats will get there 4th rounder back from OAK.
EDIT:
That's what I get for believeing BSPN....
They traded Smith AND a 7th, for a 5th...
Patriots trade DL Smith to hurting Broncos - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

spires is a good example though
as for law, he was crap outside of NE, compared to how well he played as a pat
curtis martin's a good example, but pre belichick, and asante is a great example, he's one of the goods
but, like it or not, the pats have a system that can turn almost anyone into something better than they were elsewhere, and usually those guys don't carry it over
i'm still surprised out how much you got out of someone like reche caldwell
i'm convinced had you drafted gholston and the jets mayo, gholston would have been droy and mayo crap
that's just how i think NE does as a system, that's why i seriously expect burgess to be back among the top sack leaders, if he can stay healthy
Gholston may succeed over time, but he wouldn't have gotten on the field for the Patriots. Crable is a better prospect for the Pats than he would've been.
I agree that Mayo was a great talent and would have succeed anywhere, but I still think Gholston would have been a pretty good player if he had been drafted by the Pats or Steelers.
Steelers makes some sense - but as for the Pats, do you see Gholston faring any differently than Crable? Gholston is a slightly better physical talent, but probably not a better football player at this point in their respective careers, and Crable hasn't made it to the field yet.
I feel like Gholston would have been a better football player at this point. The jets are a friggen mess.
This is a good deal for both teams. The Patriots pick up the 5th pick they were lacking for a bubble player and the Broncos pick up a solid Dliner which they really needed.
Isn't the Pat's 7th round pick likely to be the last pick in the draft?
Isn't the Pat's 7th round pick likely to be the last pick in the draft? It was just thrown in to make it look like Denver didn't trade a 5th for Smith straight up.... I doubt the last 1 or 2 picks in the draft have any meaningful value, so essentially we got a 5th for Smith... not too shabby
...and LeKevin no longer faces near-certain peril on cutdown day. Congratulations to him on landing in a place that will value him -- and probably give him a ton more playing time in his contract year.
I mourn for said nameless board member. Poor guy, not gonna be a good day for him.
That's an understatement. Gholston would definitely have had to have been a much better player for the Pats or Steelers to have drafted him.I still think Gholston would have been a pretty good player if he had been drafted by the Pats or Steelers.
He must be, his Head Coach reportedly broke one of the Assistant Coach's jaw when he got the word from Al.Al Davis is probably fuming after hearing about the trade!
