Is Cassel now worth a 1st round pick? - New England Patriots Forums

Back to back 400 yard, 3 TD games prove that Cassel has really come into his own. If Schaub could get 2 2nd rounders, surely Cassel has elevated himself to being worthy of somebody's 1st now?

let's have this discussion after the season.

I don't see any way that he isn't. It's a weak QB draft anyway and #1 QB picks are 50-50 at best. If you're gonna pay big money and #1 for a QB why not do it for one that has proven he can play. Yeah he has Moss and Welker but he's making great throws on the run, Cassel can flat out play.

For the 7,000th time he is an unrestricted free agent next year. Trading deadline for this year is over. We ain't getting a 1st round pick.

If he keeps playing like this he will be. Hard to argue with back to back 400+ yards even if the critics say its the 'system'.

What could the pats possibly do get something for him? I understand the franchise option, but don't know if the brass would do that ..

Unless we franchise him.

Franchise him and trade him to the highest bidder. I'm sure it's possible and certainly plausible that there will be two teams who'd be willing to bid it to a #1. This scenario, which many mocked initially, is becoming more and more realistic. Will it happen? Who knows? But it's certainly worthy of discussion.

think what you want, but people never thought BB would trade bledsoe to a divisional opponent.

i think they franchise him. I'd use the excuse that Brady won't be ready for the season. trade him right before the draft

you can't let this guy walk for nothing
