Patriotswire writer proposes trade idea for Chris Olave

Ti Rider said

The team definitely doesn’t need to move up from #9. Any trades they make should be for more picks in this draft. They have holes to fill. Losing Olave would just create another. This is just a pipe dream by this Pats writer with a silly trade proposal.

Houston would make sense. Keep #9, get #25, #89, and maybe a 7th. Losing Olave would hurt but getting fair compensation of multiple picks could help build the team. I’d rather keep Olave but for the right offer……

It's not a popular belief on here, but Olave is replaceable fairly easy. There are many WRs available through the draft and other means who are 6'0"-6'1" 185-190lbs and in his speed range. He's not an X, isn't durable enough to consistently go across the middle as a slot guy and isn't physical enough to be a good Z so he's replaceable.

We have Shaheed that can play Z, MVS who can play Z and there is other options available to play Z. We have KAJr and Means who can go across the middle and a lot of guys in the draft, etc.
