Same Time Next Year

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid jokingly called it "a salary cap move" when he traded the 194th pick to the Patriots for the 193rd. A straight up trade to switch spots. Reid and the Patriots Bill Belichick had made a draft deal with each other for ten straight years. With all the draft day trades that Belichick makes, I'm surprised that he keeps track of the teams involved. Andy and Bill were sitting there in the 6th round without having made a trade. So, they got on the phone and Reid said, "Listen, our streak is in trouble". Bam! Stupid trade done. Both playful coaches took linebackers that the other team wouldn't have picked. Philadelphia drafted Ohio St's Brian Rolle, and New England picked Markell Carter from Central Arkansas. Can't wait to see what they do next year.
