Think their AFC East rivals are slightly panicked seeing the Patriots armed with assets and likely in the hunt for a quarterback in the upcoming draft?
If they aren’t nervous, they should be.
Given what’s at stake, the decision-makers of the Jets, Bills and Dolphins were probably cursing privately after seeing Bill Belichick pull off the recent Brandin Cooks deal with the Rams. The No. 23 overall pick gained for Cooks gave the Patriots two first rounders (along with No. 31) in this year’s draft and the ammunition — along with their pair of second rounders — to move up the board for one of the top quarterbacks if the Hoodie is so inclined.
