10 Reasons the Patriots Can, Should and WILL Get Two 1st Round Draft Picks for Matt Cassel
by Jerry Thornton (jerry@barstoolsports.com)

Now that the NFL season is finally over, we can start to look at the only thing that's been on Bill Belichick's mind since the moment the final gun sounded in Week 17. And that's how to hook the jumper cables up to the Patriots dynasty and retake their rightful place at the top of the football world. For that, I'm going to presuppose two things:
1. Tom Brady will be healthy. And
2. They'll franchise Matt Cassel and trade him.

good read especially reason # 8

#9 for me. It's time to get that #1 back that was stolen from us last year.

The only part I would have to disagree with is the idea of Denver parting ways with Jay Cutler in order to land Cassel. I doubt Denver's FO is saying to themselves right now "We'd be much better off with Cassel than with Jay Cutler AND 2 first round picks."

I stole part of #10 for my sig. I literally laughed out loud when I read it.

the last time the Pats missed the playoffs... when Belichick had a jump on the competition so to speak... was after the 2002 season. Here's what he did that year: Drafted Ty Warren, Eugene Wilson, Asante Samuel, Dan Koppen, and Tully Banta-Cain. Traded Tebucky Jones for a 2nd Rounder in 2004 (Corey Dillon) and traded for a another '04 No. 1 (Vince Wilfork). He also signed Rosevelt Colvin, Rodney Harrison, Ted Washington, Tyrone Poole and Don Davis. Oh, and they went 14-2 each of the next two years and won both Super Bowls. The bottom line is you don't outsmart Belichick when he's got extra time to prepare.
