Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: Sunstroke on September 06, 2009, 01:02:10 pm The thing is... it is not just a first round pick in 2011...it's the Oakland Raiders' first round pick in 2011! That sucker is guaranteed to be a top-5 overall selection, because that team isn't getting any better any time soon. That is a young stud mutant beast New England is getting, in exchange for an older player they were going to lose anyway. To summarize this transaction... Raiders = idiots Patriots = brilliant ...and officially filed under the heading of "The rich get richer..."

BB isn't afraid to trade away current talent for future talent, but Pats are in win now mode -- Brady & Moss aren't getting younger. I don't think he would make this deal if didn't have plans for the cap space saved and the pick to help the team this year.

Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: Rick on September 06, 2009, 07:52:32 pm Hopefully they will be using that pick on on a young QB....... They might. Bellichick and Kraft both think highly of Florida QB Tim Tebow. Kraft and Bellichick were at last years BCS title game as guests of Florida head coach Urban Meyer. They talked during the game about Bellichick really liking Tebows ability as a QB. This 1st round pick might land New England their QB of the future. Tebow would be the perfect replacement for Brady in a couple years.Either way, the Pats made out on this deal. :-\ Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 06, 2009, 07:58:04 pm ^^^^ isn't he a senior?
the pick is 2011 not 2010. Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: Rick on September 06, 2009, 08:00:03 pm ^^My bad. Tebow would still be a good pick for the Pats though! ;)
Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 06, 2009, 08:04:20 pm ^^My bad. Tebow would still be a good pick for the Pats though! ;) Pats can pretty much draft whoever they want in 2010. Own 2010 1st round pick Own 2010 2nd round pick Tenn 2010 2nd round pick Jax 2010 2nd round pick own 2011 1st round pick raiders 2011 1st round pick own 2011 2nd round pick They pretty much can trade into any slot they want. Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on September 06, 2009, 08:32:16 pm And the Pats are stockpiling first day draft picks like there is no tomorrow.....
Although there might not even BE a draft in 2011 if no CBA is reached.

Although there might not even BE a draft in 2011 if no CBA is reached. I really doubt they would cancel the draft, even if no CBA is reached. Draft is in April. If there is a lockout it would happen until training camp, if there is a strike it won't happen until the start of the season. Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: stinkfish on September 06, 2009, 09:04:54 pm I'll be cheering for the Raiders to make it into the playoffs next season.
Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 06, 2009, 09:17:24 pm I'll be cheering for the Raiders to make it into the playoffs next season. are you rooting for Tenn and Jax this year? Title: Re: Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders Post by: ChronicMan on September 09, 2009, 03:49:28 pm Yeah, this is fucking bullshit. Not only do we have to try and outdraft the Patriots we have to try and convince dumbass GM's to stop mortgaging their futures to the Patriots. It's frustrating as shit. It reminds me of playing Monopoly with Dave growing up. He would always get me to go for shady deals.
