This might sound reactionary, but for me this completely makes up for getting a 2nd round pick for Jimmy Garoppolo. Taking advantage of the LA hype train by trading away an overrated -frankly soft- wide receiver who only had somewhat good chemistry with Tom Brady for a first rounder is a coup.
If they trade it for Odell gravy, we reach uncharted territories in offensive talent.
If they use the picks I believe that Belichick will build this team for either the present or the future whichever makes more sense, but I'm all for this transaction.
Calling the Rams all in play while dumping Brandon Cooks for a first? Thats the kind of move that dynastic franchises make. I bet the Rams meanwhile are just a has been team within 3 years.
