A few years ago, I would've agreed with this move for the Pats, but their window closes (at least somewhat) when Brady is done...and Brady will be 40 when that 3rd round pick is a rookie. Jamie Collins is a Pro Bowl player now. Unless Collins was hurting them in some way, I just can't see how it's a positive move considering their window.
