Without a late round pick this year I’d take a 6th or 7th for JT. Who knows, maybe our staff can get something outta of him but he looked like he didn’t belong on an NFL field to me.
You guys could be right but if i recall you misses the Matt trade value big time
The idea is he fits some teams D system doesn’t mean a few wouldn’t be interested. Pats might the idea was to find a way or idea not to show your dislike. I dislike his play but just takes one in BFL to think he fits.
Its why not just a pick but a switch of position of a pick.
I knew this would get reaction . When it happens have a big plate for the Crow
The Patriots acquired third-year linebacker Kyle Van Noy from the Detroit Lions. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Patriots will also receive a seventh-round pick form Lions in exchange for a sixth-round pick, via a source informed of the pending transaction. New England confirmed the acquisition on Wednesday.
Lions got a swap of picks… which at the time of the trade (late October)… the Lions were 4-3 and the Pats 6-1. Lions would have known the Pats were likely to make playoffs… even if they couldn’t have predicted the comeback from 25-3 in the Super Bowl. The end result was that the Lions moved up from #239 to #215 in the trade. Lions drafted Brad Kaaya.
IMO… could have got Kaaya at #239… and probably as a UDFA as well.
I’m not sure we could get a 7th round pick for Tavai right now, he was that bad last year. His rookie season, he showed a few signs of maybe developing into something. Last year was a disaster for him and really the entire defense, except Okwara.
