Colts Trade Dwayne Allen to the Patriots

[Big Smooth]

We all know Allen will play better next year, it's a given, but at the same time was just not worth the contract given.

It was a contract dump plain and simple

I wanted to bitch when I heard it but after thinking about it is a solid business move.

Still stings sending anyone to those pieces of shit tho

With the 15th pick in the NFL draft the Colts select.......

Of all the teams to help. New England?

The best offer came out of New England?

Fuck those guys.

Maybe they trade Dorsett too.... I would like to keep him but he could be expendable

It definitely is a solid business move, Allen wasn't worth his contract.

4th round, #144 overall (comp pick)
5th round, #158 overall

7 picks in top 158 where our "fair share" is 4.98 picks.

If this draft really is as deep in areas of need as most are saying (LB, D-Line, CB, RB), then we could do well from this draft. Some "experts" are saying that 4th round picks would be 2nd round picks in other years.

We will see.

Cheers,

That does look nice from a draft standpoint. I hope we get some nice picks there in the 4th. We are a couple years from really competing anyway. Draft well in this "deep" draft and pair them with our young core. In a couple years brady will be finished, this trade wont matter as allen will be out of football due to injury, and we can rule the AFC! (yes, optimism)

Wow, unexpected.
I'm not really sure what to make of this. I see good and bad. I'll guess we'll find out this season whether the Pats got the better of the deal

This doesn't help them Allen is not Bennett, they are scrambling obviously because they were willing to give up a 4th for him
