Last season, the Patriots traded backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (himself a late 2nd round pick at #62) to the quarterback-starved San Francisco 49ers. Garoppolo was approaching the end of his rookie contract and his solid play in limited action likely meant he was an unaffordable luxury behind Brady on the depth chart. In the trade, the Patriots received a 2nd round pick (#43).


In the recent draft, that 2nd round pick was traded to the Detroit Lions for a 2nd round pick (#51) and a 4th round pick (#117). That Lions 2nd round pick was later traded to the Bears for a 4th round pick (#105) and a likely high 2nd round pick next year. The Lions 4th round pick was used for the Patriots to trade back-up slightly in the 2nd round to target a linebacker. The 4th round pick from the Bears was traded to the Browns for a later 4th round pick (#114) and a 6th round pick (#178). The 4th round pick from the Browns was traded to the Lions for a 3rd round pick next year. In the end, the Patriots turned a 2014 second round pick (Garoppolo) into a 2nd round pick this year, a 2nd round pick next year, a 3rd round pick next year, and a 6th round pick. How this turns out is anybody's guess, but 17 consecutive winning seasons suggests the Patriots will generate alpha (e.g. a winning record in a parity-driven league).

Thats definitely one reason. And the other is, they continue to have the best collection of coaches in the NFL. And their owner isn't too shabby either.

Thanks for sharing. There are organizations and owners that comprehend that NFL franchise ownership is BIG business and then there are owners who think its an expensive hobby. The former lives in New England and the latter lives in Cleveland. ;)

Game before the game. Very important, kinda like listings in the real estate business. Lifeblood!
 
Very cool. There are a lot of people who think they could have/should have gotten more for Garoppolo. Early returns would agree as he looks like a star.

I think you are giving too much credit to Cleveland. I think they treat it like a business but are too incompetent to run it.

there have been several studies showing that multiple second and third round picks are better than a first. The first economist to push this theory was hired by the redskins as a consultant laid out a draft plan then the opposite happened.

Love the Patriots but due to the mentally undigestible puzzle of insanity that was the original message on this thread,... I bailed out from reading it.

Thanks for the link, pretty amazing. And we thought their main strength was finding underated players that excelled in their systems.
 
What they ended up getting is overstated in that article in the OP. They didnt get an additional 2nd this year - they packaged their own 2 with one of the added picks to move up 5 spots.

So right now here's what they've received:
Move up a few spots in this year 2nd to draft a goiter DB
A 6th round pick this year, which was used on some linebacker that probably gets cut
A 2 and a 3 next year

Pretty much they got a 2 and a 3, for a guy most expect to be a good starting quarterback next season.
