I find it comical that you find that comical. I didn't see anyone say any of what you said in you post. Not even close. And who cares if people don't like him anymore? He acted kind of douchy last year a couple of times and no longer plays for the Saints anyway.

Hard to imagine him under 1000 yds even if he wont go across the middle. He can beat you deep and hell take a short post the distance too. Brady will get him the ball. It might even be scary good too. I hope not.

Only secondary in the NFC East is the Dolphins and they've got some injureies so Cooks will be awesome...

Hooray for me because I have BOTH Cooks and Thomas on my Keeper team rewarding my Hom-erism...

It was a win/win for both teams.

Gronk will, for the 4 games he's "healthy". He and oft injured ex Colt Dwayne Allen can alternate being out of the lineup

Saints have plenty film on him & pretty much know his weaknesses. Doesn't like contact,struggles with press coverage, sucks @ 50/50 ball, sucks at the screen game. 9 route all day from the slot with the out& up. Decoy is my guess vs Saints.

Depends on Ramis health. Regardless though I think it was a good call. We certainly didn't get shafted and DID get a position of needs. Our running game will give our other receivers get less focus so theoretically we could be more prolific with less talent at receivers. That being said I'm not convinced we have less talent there.

Again though it all hinges on the offensive line. We may even start the season with a backup lineman that's not even on the team.

We got Ryan Ramczyk and Trey Hendrickson in the deal, so we're looking a whole lot better now...

Still would have preferred to have sent the sixth round pick as the Pats were gonna lose the fourth round pick anyway...

Sometimes wonder if some of this was Payton helping Belichick stick it to Goodell so that the league didn't get the Pats original 4th round for Inflategate...
