It looks like some good might have come out of that Week 18 win over Buffalo after all.
It cost the Patriots a fortune in draft capital and potential return on a trade.
When the demand for QB1s exceeds the supply, scarcity drives the price up.
“I’m sure they’re taking calls if people do call.
I think it would be wise.”
I could not agree with Greg Bedard more.
Sure, there’s a risk you might need Milton.
Right now, Joe Milton looks promising.
Promise is an asset.
One you might absolutely cash in on.
After one game, Milton is a Mystery Box.
People are intrigued about what’s inside.
But for find out, they have to buy it.
The beautiful thing is that the Patriots are in the perfect position.
They don’t need to sell.
All they need is a highly motivated buyer.
Preferably more than one to increase the motivation and drive the price up further.
(See: supply and demand, above.)
Given the realities around the NFL and this draft, that’s where I start the auction.
“The bidding opens at a second round pick for this fine future franchise quarterback.
Do I hear a 2nd rounder, 2nd rounder, how about a high 2nd rounder?
Do I hear a No.
2 and a 5th?
How about a 4th?
Do I hear a 1st?
Do I hear a 1st and a late round swap to move up?“etc.
Otherwise, they simply hang up on anybody trying to lowball them.
