We traded our own 5th for Greg Lewis. Can't trade away the comp picks 97, 170, 207.
That's a nice list - 4 in the top 60, 6 in the top 100, 11 total picks.

It's really nice spacing too. 11 picks is about 4 too many too make the team though..... I see some considerable movement come draft weekend. My guess, and it is just a guess, is a trade into 2010's draft and a package deal trade of picks either up or down on day 1.

Should make for an entertaining weekend!
I agree with using picks to trade up or into next year, but there is nothing wrong with picking 11 players when there is only room for 7. When you pick 7, it is unlikely that all 7 will be winners. Picking 11 lets you pick the best 7 of the litter.
New England now has six selections in the top 100. They have their own first-round pick (No. 23 overall). Three second-round selections -- No. 34 (acquired from the Chiefs for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel), No. 47 (acquired in a trade with the Chargers during the 2008 draft) and their own pick at No. 58. Then they have a pair of third-rounders -- their own pick (No. 89) and the compensatory pick.
BB has shown he is not scred of moving up a few spots. I think he did so to grap T. Warren. He also moved up to get the infamous WR C.Jackson.
I'd be quite surprised if they moved up to get another #1 unless it's packaging the #34 they got for Cassel. But something tells me (even though I can't produce the proof) that the #31, for example, which is 2nd to last in round 1 is much more expensive than #34, the second pick in round 2. And unless there is a beast there for the taking, I'd be kinda surprised to see BB make that jump on account of the dollar signs.
We'll see in April. Let's sit back on that weekend and enjoy the ride. If they make a crazy Moss-like trade, that would really jumpstart 09 - though I can't see a deal being that lopsided going down again. Even Peppers for a 3rd wouldn't be the steal Moss was... he even came cheap.
Can we fastforward real life ?
I believe the biggest first round move was Graham.
