I felt that this deserved its own thread.
This trade is about Kiko Alonso. If Alonso has rehabbed the knee properly and is healthy for us, no one will ever remember dropping 5 spots in this draft. He is a 25 year old true Mike linebacker that is athletic as any MLB in the league.
Taking on Maxwell's contract isn't that big of a deal. The guy sucked last year, but he's a much better scheme fit here, and if he isn't any better than he was a year ago we can cut him for only a 3 million dollar cap hit. Who cares?
If you really want to get mad about our draft position, then get mad at this stupid team for once again winning a meaningless game at the end of the season to absolutely bone our draft position. By beating the Pats we knocked ourselves out of the Joey Bosa and Jalen Ramsey sweepstakes, the two true "elite" defensive prospects in this draft. I won't care if we miss out on Jack if Alonso is healthy, and VH3 isn't a much better CB prospect than Apple or Alexander who I can almost guarantee will both be there at 13. At 13 we also have a chance at an awesome end prospect like Ogbah, Spence, Lawson or Dodd, and I think we should go that route anyway.
This is not a bad trade at all, everyone needs to chill the **** out.
