00:00Well, I try to be realistic.
00:19I was surprised.
00:20I thought that maybe Milton would bring back a little more, particularly in light of some
00:28of the other recent trades for backup quarterbacks, but then you start to think about reasons
00:33why they traded him.
00:35And obviously, the guy you just heard me try to describe with that sensational play in
00:40Tennessee last year is the primary reason, Drake May.
00:44His classmate, they drafted the two quarterbacks, as you know, together.
00:48But I think also that Joe Milton had this remarkable flourish to end the season against
00:54the Buffalo Bills.
00:56And he has tremendous physical skills.
00:58But he is still, I think, very much a great unknown, and a lot of the questions that followed
01:03him out of the University of Tennessee into the NFL as a late-round draft pick remain
01:08for most people.
01:09So I think when you sit down and process it, while a lot of fans here are disappointed,
01:15I still think the Patriots accomplished what they needed to.
01:19They got another pick.
01:20They were able to move on.
