I'm good with this Doyle's the man and Swoope looked good when he got on the field

If Allen plays liked his rookie year again, then we got fleeced.

If Allen plays like his last 3 years, then we make out depending on whom we get.


My only downside is that I was earmarking that 6th round pick for our punter.

Cheers,

Moves like this are what makes Belichick one of the best ever. He's betting on being able to get the most out of Allen.

I hate the guy like a butt rash but damn is he good.

Well off goes Allen

Can't say I am too disappointed. Too many injuries for him.

Love this deal. I hated having all that money tied up in 2 tight ends. Free's up some cap space. We now have 3 fourth round picks, and Allen wasn't that fucking good anyway.

Allen just has been injured too much for anyone to get much out of him.

Hell, not even close to the infamous TR trade. Ballard is getting rid of the mediocre talent on this team, kudos to him.

1st round, #15 overall
2nd round, #46 overall
3rd round, #80 overall
4th round, #122 overall
4th round, #137 overall (from Pats)
4th round, #144 overall (comp pick)
5th round, #158 overall

7 picks in top 158 where our "fair share" is 4.98 picks.

If this draft really is as deep in areas of need as most are saying (LB, D-Line, CB, RB), then we could do well from this draft. Some "experts" are saying that 4th round picks would be 2nd round picks in other years.

We will see.

Cheers,

I guess we save some money.

Belichick is going to make it work for Allen. He's not going to be asked to be Gronkowski and he still gives New England the versatility they want out of almost every player.

New England is not the team I want to see us help. Unless you pull some fucking stud in the 4th this sucks imo.
