After the Santonio Holmes trade there are rumors that the value of Marshall is in a downward spiral. Santonio Holmes was traded for just a fifth-round pick and his numbers are very comparable to Marshall's...
Santonio Holmes: 79 rec, 1248 yards (15.8 YPC), five TD.
Brandon Marshall: 101 rec, 1120 yards (11.1 YPC), 10 TD.
Obviously, I think Marshall is better, but his trade value, once thought to be a first round pick has to be going down. Marshall is a troubled player, much like Holmes (though Holmes has to deal with a suspension). My thinking is that Marshall will go for a late 2nd or 3rd round pick. If that is the case, and with all the picks the Patriots have, doesn't it make sense to pull the trigger on this deal? The Jets are going all out to win it this year with the additions of Holmes, Cromartie, and maybe even guys like Jason Taylor.
I'd also like to see this happen, because I don't want to see the Patriots waste any draft picks on offense (other maybe offensive line). I want all the picks to go to fixing that defense, and if you add Marshall to this offense you could really spend every pick on the defensive side of the ball. Just a thought, but if I was the Pats it would be hard not to take a look at this.
