Forge Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We all saw this coming. Selling him at an all time low value though, I'm not expecting much of a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49erurtaza Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Patriots get the best pass blocking right tackle in the league, he's just awful at run blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's average at best in run blocking. Pats just got a good one. He's outstanding in pass protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Why'd they trade a 25 y/o stud tackle? I've never heard of him. But what's his problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just drafted Mike McG at 9 to play right tackle. Trent is coming off a shoulder surgery and rumor has it he's over weight right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVRamsFan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So he's great, he's just coming off an injury, over weight and on the last year of his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been loved by the FO here. Baalke pick. Stud pass protector, but he has significant deficiencies in the run game which drive Kyle nuts. I don't think that there was ever any real intent to re-sign him, so draft McGlinchey and at least get somethign for him (given how much cap space we have, it's reasonable to assume that we will be active in FA again next year, so comp pick won't apply). He has some conditioning and weight concerns (always been a big boy). But this is a good get for New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great pass protecting tackle, yes. The over weight thing depends - He's definitely a big dude (330-340's), and some teams are probably going to be okay with that, but not so much a team like the 49ers that runs a scheme predicated on movement lol. He's on the last year of his deal, but this could work for the Pats in a way it doesn't for us. A comp pick was never going to be in the offing for us after losing him in FA...if the Pats are going to be frugal, they could get a decent comp pick for him. That contract is a 7th round rookie deal though, so he's cheap this year at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
