A few thoughts from the thread on indystar.com:
And proving that even Colts fans aren't wrong about everything
If I were a Pats fan I'd be ecstatic getting a #1 (even a probable very late #1)...last year we couldn't even get a #2 for Edge nor could Seattle for Alexander. I'd still rather have Branch playing on my team without the contract squabble, though (I realize this wasn't an option). Branch is a known quantity, late 1st rounders are sometimes called Rob Morris.
[WR is] the weakest link on the team right now. The main thing is the distraction is over and they got something decent for a player that arguably wasn't going to play for them this year.
It will obviously hurt them this year, but Branch wasn't going to be a Pat after this year anyway. I can't believe the Pats got a first round pick for him. Unreal. Great move by the Patriots.
He's not worth a #1, but more power to the Pats for getting it. Makes as much sense as the Vikes handing the Cowboys all those Super Bowls for Herschel Walker.
I see it this way, the Pats got 2 OK years and 2 good years from a player that out played his rookie contract and then got him traded for a 1st round pick. That sounds like a good way to run a NFL team.

Can't we just all agree that the Squealers suck and then move on?
