buffaloboyinATL Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 No big deal. We had Brady seeing ghosts out there last game. If we can keep doing that, it doesn't matter who his receivers are... 1

For the Pats giving up a 2nd rounder is OK, but for the Bills, they need their picks. Having said that do expect some type of trade, back up LB may be the most reasonable that likely wouldn't cost a fortune. I don't think the Bills will be trading for a backup LB any time soon. They seem to really like Corey Thompson and they didn't IR him after his foot surgery (though they are keeping mum on his timeline for return - mid to late November would be my guess). As I understand it, Maurice Alexander is their 3rd string, and they may be furiously going over notes and film on other team's practice squads and FA to see if there's an upgrade for him they can sign. Of course, I would swoon if we could trade for Von Miller. I've said it before and will say it now: the real issue for the Bills this year (and I say this as someone who likes his potential) is the space between Allen's ears. Bills will ride-or-die on whether he continues to progress in his game time abilities, or whether he backslides 1

Codyny13 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Wouldn’t mind picking up Zach Brown to back up at the linebacker spot.
dave mcbride Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Patriots are now down to only 12 picks next year! - 1st round (own)- 3rd round (own)- 3rd round (projected compensatory pick: Trey Flowers)- 3rd round (projected compensatory pick: Trent Brown)- 4th round (via Chicago Bears)- 6th round (via Houston Texans: Keion Crossen trade)- 6th round (via Denver Broncos: Duke Dawson trade)- 6th round (projected compensatory pick: Malcom Brown)- 6th round (projected compensatory pick: Cordarrelle Patterson)- 7th round (via Seattle Seahawks)- 7th round (via Falcons)- 7th round (via Philadelphia Eagles) 2
TheFunPolice Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I kick myself for not calling this yesterday.... Rumors were that Sanu and Hooper would go to NE and Dimitroff would replace Cesario at the end of the season I'll still take credit, because I discussed it with my cat
dave mcbride Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: He loves former Rutgers players He also loves guys who catch the balls thrown their way. Sanu's catch percentage the last four seasons with Atlanta is 71.4 percent, and he's at 78.6 percent this year. This is a very good addition to the Pats receiving corps. 1

Rich for my tastes. Agreed, but let’s not forget this pick is probably still in the 60’s. It’s almost like a 3rd. 10 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Patriots are now down to only 12 picks next year! - 1st round (own)- 3rd round (own)- 3rd round (projected compensatory pick: Trey Flowers)- 3rd round (projected compensatory pick: Trent Brown)- 4th round (via Chicago Bears)- 6th round (via Houston Texans: Keion Crossen trade)- 6th round (via Denver Broncos: Duke Dawson trade)- 6th round (projected compensatory pick: Malcom Brown)- 6th round (projected compensatory pick: Cordarrelle Patterson)- 7th round (via Seattle Seahawks)- 7th round (via Falcons)- 7th round (via Philadelphia Eagles) That is a BOATLOAD of 6th and 7th rounders!

Dude can throw too, watch them trick plays. Good call. Between him and Little Julian, they will definitely have some trick plays in now. Sanu probably has a stronger arm than Brady at this point. 1
Alphadawg7 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Wow that’s an over pay. Way better WRs have been traded for less. I like Sanu, but no way would I have wanted to give up a 2nd round pick for him. Edited October 22, 2019 by Alphadawg7

Nick the Greek Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 When I first got the text alert it said “Pats* get veteran receiver from Falcons for 2nd round pick.” I gasped, thinking the Pats just acquired Julio Jones. Much to my relief, I later learned the player dealt was Sanu. I have never thought Sanu was all that good. He has a good game here or there, but overall doesn’t do much. Am I the only one that thinks giving up a second round pick for him is over paying? That’s a high pick for an average receiver. But I know, he will be the next Randy Moss on NE.
jkeerie Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Brady will throw to the open receiver no matter who it is and 9 times out of 10 that receiver catches the ball and the chains move. The only way to stop Brady is to limit his ability to find the open receiver...like the Bills did. The Pats D is playing lights out, but look at the QBs they've faced. Someone posted in another thread that they'd like to see NE against a legit offense. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until the Super Bowl for that to happen.

He caught 71.4 percent of the passes thrown his way during his time in Atlanta (and 79 percent this year). He's also big, durable, and coachable.

I really don't want to give up anything lower than a 4th round pick as feel they will need the top 3 picks next year.
Wayne Arnold Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 On a related note, Sanu has the hottest wife on the planet. Don’t @ me.
