I think you will be surprised about Gilmore.a) We're most likely not getting the 11-th
b) We lost Logan Ryan and we're losing Butler, the two top corners in the team's best defense since 2004.
The secondary was fantastic this year and we completely gutted it for a guy that has never been an All Pro and hasn't played a single high pressure game in his life.
We had the best statistical defense in the league, we won the Super Bowl and Butler made the All-Pro team. Butler had a superior season to Gilmore's by any measurement and standard.
I mean if we bought Sherman, Peters or Talib, i'll understand but Gilmore wasn't even a Top 20 cornerback last year.
Wow I love your mentality
Your glass is never half empty is it?

Giardi posting clips of Gilmore shutting down Jordy Nelson in 2014.
That gets me more mad Butler is leaving. Ugh that D would be incredible.
Lol!
You're about to be sadly disappointed friend.
Do not, I repeat do NOT trade Butler for a 32nd pick.
The talent is not there to justify trading an elite, shutdown CB like Butler
Of course it would but we won't be getting 1.11.

Which makes this incredibly frustrating.
I know people will likely counter by saying "Pats let go of Revis and Browner in 2015". Yes that worked out well. I'll give that. But that doesn't mean I like gambling on "maybe better" players when I could have the certainty. I would love for Butler to be back for one more year to pair with Gilmore. I don't dislike Gilmore as a player at all. He's good. I just hate how the team has totally deconstructed the CB depth chart.
Going from butler, Ryan, Rowe to Gilmore, rowe, jones is a scary proposition.
Even if they can draft a CB high in the draft, I still wouldn't feel as good about him as I would having Butler. The team needs to add another CB somewhere.
Think you quoted the wrong post...Prior to last year, Gilmore was a top CB in the league. The Bills' defense sucked last year and couldn't pressure the QB and obviously affected him too.
it might be part of the deal the two teams made? (trading the 32 back for Malcolm)The Saints are not trading #11.
The Patriots are not signing Malcolm to the money he wants.
What do you suggest?
What's really upsetting is people pretending we're giving away Malcolm Butler who only made one heroic SB play instead of Malcolm Butler, a Pro Bowl/All Pro player that was a key part of us having such a good defense this year.
When i read ''Butler's good but he's not a #1 CB'' when he was the #1 CB for the best defense in the league/SB champions while also having a great individual season, i want to drink acid.
Well, then the Saints aren't getting Butler. The Saints have to give up their first for signing Butler as a RFA. Why would the Pats accept anything less?
