That is misleading, because it implies that the Patriots did have a reciever before the trade. Branch was a holdout, he wasn't going to play this year because the Pats weren't going to do that. You can essentially say that they got a first round draft pick for nothing, because that is what Branch was essentially.

I don't think the Seahawks got screwed, Branch can be a good reciever and is the type of guy that can really help them, but because Branch wasn't going to play this season anyway, I think the Pats got a hell of a deal for him.
