4th round pick from the Patriots for TE Dwayne Allen & a 6th round pick...

If it is a 4th rounder then I think I'm okay with it.

Would have been nice to get a 3rd, but ok.

Ballard must not have liked what he saw in allen - contribution, playing time, contract, combination of all. I suppose the thinking is we can get a blocker for cheaper and use doyle and swoop as pass catchers (with doyle blocking some as well).


Here's to hoping allen's yearly injury streak continues!


Do we incure any dead money in this?

Yep. A 4th rounder wouldn't be so bad, but sending a 6th with Allen? No. That sucks. The Pats pick is the last in the 4th while the colts pick 15th in the sixth. They got Allen for dropping about 40 spots.

I agree, Pats won this one ... Let older Bennett walk and get a cheaper TE than would have cost to resign Bennett...

We traded away Dwayne Allen and:

Got $2.933m in additional cap space -- AND --
Pick #31 in 4th round (#137 overall)

We gave up an inconsistent TE getting paid big bucks -- AND --
Pick #16 in 6th round (#200 overall)

If Allen plays liked his rookie year again, then we got fleeced.

If Allen plays like his last 3 years, then we make out depending on whom we get.


My only downside is that I was earmarking that 6th round pick for our punter.

Cheers,

Also, now we have only Doyle and Swoope. We'll have to sign or draft a tight end. Or an UDFA.
