That was awesome. He said absolutely nothing for like 30 consecutive minutes. He should really go into politics.

My interpretation:

• Woods is getting packaged in a trade. - Just humour me, that seemed awfully stumbly there.
  
• They are moving up in the first for someone if at all possible. See: "The higher the pick, the better the talent."
  
• The Peppers Trade is on.

Barwin, Butler and Peppers. There's your Patriots Day one. Book it, Dano.

Also, everything he said was a smokescreen. Or a double smokescreen.

So there.

He said plenty. He just didn't say it on topics that would give lots of information on the draft. To stick with your politics analogy, it was like a Supreme Court candidate refusing to comment on abortion, but spending hours discussing how decisions are rendered and published by the lower courts.

He said nothing?

1) Mentioned that the process of evaluation hasn't changed with the loss of Pioli and the additions of Reese and Licht (pronounced Light).

2) That there has been preliminary talks about trading picks with a number of teams.

3) Called the UCONN Pro Day exciting and praised Randy Edsall for the quality of player he's producing there.

4) Comments on Andre Smith's skills, but not his intangibles..

5) Admitted that this year's draft, even from their perspective, has no clear #1 player at numerous positions, including QB, CB, S, WR, RB, and OT.

You may not have found the tidbits interesting, but others probably did.

It was right here that the Woods signing his Tender was first announced.

As for Peppers, until he signs the tender, the Pats/Panthers can't consumate a trade. And things aren't looking good for Peppers to sign that tender. That being said, a trade for Peppers that included Woods would help the Patriots salary cap situation since Woods doesn't have a signing bonus as part of his tender. And Woods would probably fit very well as a DE for the Panthers.


I think that, while Belichick did mention the potential for moving up big, I think he's more than content to only make small hops in this draft and that the Pats could be looking at 4 picks still on day 1.

I love the way you think, my friend. I hope that it happens.

I do find it interesting that Peppers' name continues to be mentioned by BB without anyone asking him about the player. Very interesting indeed.

Some of his press conferences are entertaining, but most are just boring. Most of the reporters know they aren't going to get any information from him and don't get jerked around anymore because they don't even bother asking questions they know aren't going to be answered and even if they do, they don't bother to follow up when Belichick gives them the brush off.
