With The #23 Pick The New England Patriots

[YankeeRebel]

What do the Pats do?

 

[YankeeRebel]

I think BB trades it away.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

I would lean toward a trade down, as well. Unless somebody who has no business being on the board that late drops to them a la Vince in 2004.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Pull a Vikings botch job and are too late turning in their pick.

Then beg AB to come back.

 

[Mebert]

Matt Stafford. Lions draft a TE with it

 

[cdumler7]

I think BB trades it away.

The real strength of this draft is the 2nd and 3rd round. Really from about 20th overall prospect to about 60th overall prospect there is not much difference in grades at least from what I have evaluated. Whoever can find a trade down partner it would be wise to do so. Hard part is finding someone wanting to do that.

I think at 23 there may be a possibility just not sure what you get in return, what the value of that pick is. There are teams like the Phins that have a boat load of picks this year and they may be doing a lot of trading I feel this could increase the chances BB can pull this off.

I doubt Miami and the Patriots would trade but yeah you will see a lot of wheeling and dealing. I think most will happen in the top-10 or bottom 3 or so picks as teams wanting that 5th year option. Not saying Patriots can't trade just they are in a weird spot.

I did not mean to imply the Pats and Phins would deal, only that teams with a lot of draft capital can shake up how the early round selections are effected. And the could play into the Pats dealing that pick to another team. If they can get a reasonable deal for that pick.

 

[Carnzo]

Trade and get some new offensive linemen.

 

[shopson67]

Trade, always trade

 

[cdumler7]

Trade, always trade

Quantity almost always outweighs quality when it comes to the draft. People get way too attached to their draft picks (fans that is) and that is coming from a guy that covers the draft the entire year. They have value but if you hit on even half your draft picks you are considered a genius in the NFL.

If the right guy is there though, quantity goes out the window.

I'm a big draft fan too, NFL and NBA. I've tried to get into the MLB draft more, but it's tough...

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I tend to think it gets traded. But if an O-Lineman were to drop I’d get him. Thomas, Wills, Jones, Wirfs or Becton are all pretty good.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Trade and get some new offensive linemen.

Need to see what Yondy Cajuste can do? If they think he can start go get oline help in the 3rd.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

What would it cost NE to get some quality potato salad?

Sign a quality TE from free agency.

Hopefully use Cajuste as a started like he projected last season.

Trade away 23 for a high 2nd and whatever else you can get with it?

Bolster the defensive back end lots of quality DBs and safties in this class.

Is it possible to bring in AJ Green as well? Assuming TB resigns I don't want to see a rookie WR. Not enough time to groom them. DL/DE would be nice.

 

[redseat]

It's Belichick you know he's trading

 

[CaptainStubing]

Trade for Andy dalton

Redheads flock to Gillette if this happens

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Speaking as a redhead, I would personally drive the 1000 miles to Gillette to punch Bill in the dick If this happens.
