Why bring in a guy with baggage when you an draft a young player and develop him.
Another reason not to like the trade, Dillon is not a very good receiver, something that will have to change in the Patriots offense.

For a second-round pick, I still think he's worth the risk for the Pats, mostly because Belicheck has no qualms about cutting his ****** if he doesn't shut up and get to work. It remains to be seen if he'll do so, and I still expect the Pats to draft a young RB.

he wasn't happy, because he got frustrated from not playing. With the pats, he will definitely play.

It's not a bad gamble for the Pats. Belicheck has shown that he can handle a team's bruised psyche. I'm just glad I don't have to root for Dillon - he's shown himself to be nothing more than a malcontent and a cancer, and I'd rather a guy like that not be on my favorite team.

When he was one of the top two backs in the game, he was fine. I think belichick will keep him focused, considering he's the best coach in the NFL.

Hey HuskieDan do you remember the whole McDonald's thing?

In most cases, I would take Dillon over a young RB in this draft, but not the Patriots because:
As I said earlier, Dillon is not a great receiver.
In the Patriots lineup he will not get a tremendous number of carries, and that is when the whines will start.
The Patriots have the time and the talent to develop a young RB and win at the same time.
He brings question marks with him, why bring him in when there is the slightest chance he will ruin chemistry?

I hate Corey Dillon, he's such a little bitch. I am defintely glad he is gone.

Why do they need more good people! Pats have already won the Super Bowl twice in three years! Give other teams a chance!

Trade worked out well for both teams. Dillon was a stud this year and the Bengals used the Pats 2nd rounder on safety Madieu Williams, who is going to be a perrinial pro bowler.
