    How does NE pull this off seemingly every year? They trade a low draft pick next year for somebody that was the #6 overall pick only 3 years ago. Mingo already pointed out the culture shock from Cleveland going to NE, but consider the way each team is run, I don't think that surprises anyone. The guy is by no means a stud based on his stats but maybe Cleveland isn't using him right.

    Are the NE scouts seeing things that no other teams are seeing? Is their GM king of the deal? Since JR was a NE guy, will Tennessee start entering this kind of business soon? Seems like it works out for NE every year.

    Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Robinson got us Demarco Murray for virtually nothing, traded the 1st overall pick for 4 potential starters, and recently just did us the favor of moving a project WR for a half decent backup Tackle...

    I'm good with our GMs moves so far...

    Good point. Don't get me wrong, I love what JR has done so far. Hadn't really thought about the Murray trade in the same fashion but maybe it's because NE has a track record of their trades paying off where this is the first year I've really seen any trade activity from Tennessee.

    Is this a DGB reference? I'm sure Jrob was just using his current value before DGB lowers his own this season.

    Always baffles me the value NE gets. Trades away a pick that has probably close to a 90 percent bust rate for half decent players.

    Do these teams not see how often these picks just don't pan out but the player for NE does?

    I agree, but you cant NOT pull the trigger because it might help the Evil Empire

    gotta do what is best for your club at that time


    but yeah, NE knows who they want and just steals them sometimes.
