But there is also argument that he’s not too 10. Gesicki, Schultz, Hockenson, Friermuth, Ertz, Henry, Higbee. Maybe you think he’s better than some or all of those guys, but people can make arguments each is better than Knox without being ridiculous. So maybe he is in the tier of 7-14 best tight end, Making the money of a top five player at the position.

Seems like reach.

You can’t edit tweets. Also the NFL.com article, was written after the tweet you cite.

“The Miami Dolphins are trading veteran wide receiver DeVante Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick to the New England Patriots for a 2023 third-round selection, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday, per sources.” https://www.nfl.com/_amp/devante-parker-trade-patriots-acquiring-receiver-dolphins

Every report has the Dolphins sending a 2022 fifth round draft pick back to the Patriots. A 2023 3rd is draft pick is equivalent under the draft pick trade value chart as being equivalent of 2022 4th. So it’s a fourth swap for a fifth.

This. A third next year is equivalent of a fourth this year. Plus the Patriots are getting back a fifth. The Patriots are paying a fifth for Parker. Very low payment.

Everyone is going to want number one. Good luck to Trayvon actually getting it.

Ok. I repeat 2016 was a good draft, considering that 4 patriots draft picks from that draft are projected as NFL starters and a they drafted aQB could who could start. All without a first round pick. 2017 was not great, but they only had 4 picks and none before the third round. 2018 had a starting left tackle and a starting running back. You can’t judge 2019 or 2020 yet. If you go back to 2015, that draft had Jimmy G, James white, and Malcolm Brown. Not a bad draft. So, overall, your take is off base.

I think he was implying that the Patriots have been subpar at drafting since drafting Tom Brady (or since the year 2000). Which is kinda insane considering the following year they drafted Richard Seymour and Matt Light, both of whom were all-pros, and Seymour has been a hall of fame finalist.

Well that’s unfair. He’s had plenty of hits in the first, mid and late rounds over the years. Gronk, Flowers, Thuney, Mason, Flowers, Collins, etc. all have been great compared to draft slot. He might not be noticeably better than other GMs, and he has drafts that end up stinkers (just like every other GM), but he is not necessarily bad at drafting. Take 2016. The second rounder was a failure, but he drafted two linemen who are currently starters, a linebacker who is projected as a starter and another LB who has been part of a rotation, and a QB who is a backup, but who started his fair share of game.

Seems like the type of guy the Bucs have been collecting this year...

Very good special teamer. Certainly played in Slater’s shadow.

A solid big body defensive tackle. Lions are going to keep trying to recapture the Patriots success.

I don’t think Brady ever forgave Belichick for taking his parking spot that one time...

Babe Ruth played for the Braves. Willie Mays played for the Mets. Hank Aaron played for the Brewers. Kareem played for the Lakers. Wilt played for the Lakers. Gordie Howe played for the Whalers. Jerry Rice played for the Raiders. Smith played for the Cardinals.
