A 3RD?? What?! Why would you give up that much? And why are the pats going to trade Brady's favorite target? They must have a lot of faith in Brandon Lloyd. Sure Brady has the 2 good TEs, but those guys aren't the deep threat speedsters or great route runners like Wes is...bad move for the pats. Plus why would the pats want ANOTHER pass rusher, they like Chandler jones, do they not? And they drafted Hightower to be an edge rusher on 3rd downs...ok so they don't really have pass rushers, but still, dwight is moving from a 4-3 to a 3-4...or will the pats stay at a 4-3? Well if he stays in a 3-4, he's out of place and its a possible wasted draft. Both Freeney and Welker are great players and both are about the same edge, maybe a 2 year difference, so again, why the 3rd?
