Miami got a 2nd rounder for Welker when they got him for free basically. Only team that hands the Pats one sided deals are the Raiders.

They had no trades with the Pats that I know of. The Pats got a 2nd rounder from the Chiefs for Cassell.

I thought the McDaniels traded up with the Pats to get Tebow?

Never mind, it was Baltimore.

miami got a 3rd rounder, which is rediculous. I'd rather have 3+ seasons of 1000+ yards and 100+ catches than a 3rd round pick. regardless of what miami paid to get him, they're still on the stupid side of that trade.

Without Tom I don't know if Welker would be have been this good.

Actually, they got a 2nd rounder AND 7th round selection for Welker from the Pats.

The Dolphins were amenable, shipping Welker to the Patriots for second- and seventh-round draft choices.

Wes Welker Stats - New England Patriots - ESPN

At the time of the trade, Miami made out like a bandit.

Look at his numbers in Miami the two years.

2005-----29 recs 434yards
2006-----67recs 687 yards

Getting a 2nd and 7th rounder for a guy that only produced those kinds of stats is a work of genius really. Especially for a undrafted free agent.

if you saw him play, you knew he was better than those stats and miami wasn't using him right. I think I said it was a steal at the time. Miami's offense wasn't exactly amazing back then (not that it's all that much better now).
