The Pats deal gave us two picks, but cost us two picks, but did yield an add'l first round pick and improved our fourth round pick...

The Titans deal would've moved us up six spots and gave us one high third round pick...

The Eagles deal offered us a Safety we let walk and a third and fourth round pick...

One lesson I hope Payton/Loomis take for this is when you reach for a player with two picks...

A) You better make it count; with Cooks, they did; with Jon Jenkins, they whiffed; with Vonn Bell, David Onyemata, jury's still out.

B) Unless you keep the player under contract for their career, you never get back their full value to acquire them.

Well Well Well, it seems all this "the market sets the price" BS was untrue all along, the titans offered a higher pick and Payton gave them the middle finger and made the best team in the league even better.

In s draft this deep giving up 1 for 1 first rounders and gaining a third wasnt a better offer.

The teams needs plenty of help snd two firsts in better than t and a third. There will still be high class talent at 11 and at 32 compared to 90 odd

That deal had us trading away #11 and cooks just to move up to 5 is all.

The better deal is NE. We get to keep #11 and get a first rounder.

+1. I'd rather have 11 and 32 than just 5. An extra 3rd without having to give up our 4th makes it a difficult call, but I still rather the NE offer.

My bad, I thought it said the Titans offered us their 5th and a second round pick. Should have that early morning coffee before posting next time lol

You can't compare the market between now and 2013. You can only get what the current market demands. The only other option would have been to keep a disgruntled Cooks. If that was all NE was willing to give then no GM in history could have gotten more. That's how economics work.

Our best??? I don't think so. And he is one deminsional. He was our deep threat guy thats it... why do you think he was frustrated he wants to be more. We have role players that fit our system not a #1 or #2.

I get it he might have been your fav player and fav WR but he was expendable.
