The Seymour trade just makes no sense for the Raiders. He's not as big of a difference maker as he was a few years ago, and odds are the Patriots' incoming first rounder will be in the first draft class with slotted rookie salaries, so they won't have to pay their Top 5 pick $30 million guaranteed, either.
Just a stroke of genius on New England's part when it comes to the draft (again). They know they're likely going to be drafting in the last 5 picks of the draft every year, so they go out every couple years and trade for a top first round pick to constantly add top talent. When that player gets expensive, rinse and repeat the process. It's like a small market baseball team constantly churning out top prospects.
