This sure sounds like the Pats......

SFGate: Raiders Silver and Black Blog : Raiders' first pick in demand

The Patriots have 3 second round picks in 2010 & 2 first round picks in 2011.

The Patriots are in a better position than any other team to offer this
trade. We also have a history of dealing with the Raiders.

One of our second round picks in 2010 & The Patriots (Not Raiders) 1st round pick in 2011 for the #8 overall pick in 2010?

We would then have 2 first round picks (#8 & #22) and 2 second round
picks (not sure which one we would give the Raiders).

hopefully they don't waste it on Tebow

This is certainly interesting. If it IS the Pats, who do you guys think that BB has his eye on?

If true, it must be to get Jason Pierre Paul or CJ Spiller.

Other possibilities:

Joe Haden
Taylor Mays
Mike Iupati
Rolando McClain
Carlos Dunlap

but in all honesty, the pats could have had the raiders 1st rounder this year for seymour. we could have gotten the raiders pick this year AND kept all 3 second rounders. I think the pats are now afraid the raiders are going to get McNabb and actually be good or at least better than 4-12.

Its McClain territory.

I heard this rumor on sirius on my way into work this morning and the thought went thru my head about how we would seem, because of the picks, to be in a good position to be the unnamed team.

This rumor likely falls into the feeling out phase even if the unnamed team was the Patriots this would only happen provided the guy we want was on the board when the Raiders pick and that Raiders feel they get someone they covet with our two.

If the above is true than the question is who would be the player that we covet to move up and get? My guess would be Pierre Paul. or maybe Hayden. Thoughts?


I say Pierre Paul because despite his rawness he physically seems the perfect fit for What BBs claims to want out of OLB (height weight ECT) and he is a blank slate that a coach like BB could mold into a gem.

Doubtful. I don't know if Belichick would want to move into the top 10 without a rookie cap even in an uncapped year. Besides, I don't see the Pats making a trade like this weeks before the draft since there is no guarantee who is available at 7.

But hey, it wouldn't shock me. Jonathan Kraft did allude to not being done making big moves this offseason in his latest radio interview. It could be possible that they are going to try to get an extra first rounder.

I think if it is the Pats who are the rumored team, it is just them sending out floaters to see what it will take to move up. But if it is the case, the Pats have probably contacted several teams with picks in that area.

Just a nitpick, but "not being done making big moves"? The next "big" move they make this offseason will be the first.

Rumor is that Suh is dropping...

Would look good in a Pats uni. Problem is that his agent is Eugene Parker.
