Randy Moss Traded to the New England Patriots

The biggest deal to go down on draft day was Randy Moss going to the NE Patriots for their 4th round selection in this year's draft.

I know Randy has all the tools and talent in the world... but do you feel NE was really reaching for this guy?? New England went out this offseason, signed 3 (count em THREE) Wide Receivers to pretty big pay cheques and in addition traded their 2nd round pick to the Dolphins for Wes Welker (and then signed him to an extention).

I don't understand the logic in this, even with Moss's talent. Not to mention his character leaves much to be desired. What will happen when Tom Brady spreads out the field (like he always does) and Moss doesn't get the ball enough? Is this going to be a distraction?? I just don't really understand this, especially after signing Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker and Kelley Washington. They had other places they could have looked to upgrade but got yet ANOTHER WR instead.

All the same, the Patriots has one of the better GM's in the league and I guess you can trust they know what they are doing. Given it was also only a 4th rounder - arguably a steal for a player of Moss's caliber. Still, I can't help but not like the pick. I think a team like Green Bay would have benefited much more than NE and that is for both parties (NE AND Moss).

Time will tell...

Until next time,
