Laurinaitis will be gone by the time we pick (unless we trade up), the draft is hard to figure out but if hes still available when the patriots select they will pick him. thats the only sure thing i see happening in the draft so far.

NE will pick who ever they want they do not care about rankings. CB is a big need as well as LB. They may end up addressing LB through FA. As usual. Then you have the bengals. They will snatch him up. That leaves us with the seconds of everything. Key trade down position. How far depends on who we go after. At this point we can pray for a player to drop or trade back and collect picks so we can address more positions on the field. Me, I would be open to trading all the way back to dallas at 22. No lower. Cap room would be a benefit as well as getting good picks and or players to boot. Target at 22: Aquib Talib, 6 - 2, 193, 4.45, Kansas or Justin King, 6-0, 186, 4.34, CB Penn State Jr. I think the end of round 2 could be a Key location this year. Some gambles there look pretty good. Picking up an additional 4th would help us move around on day 2 when the third round starts. |

Dallas traded the same spot (i think) to cleveland last year and got a first out of it, i see no reason why we cant do the same.
