The rare trade proposal that makes no sense for either team.

Reckedtrek

If the Pats trade Mankins, they'll probably get a pick or picks. If they actually do get a player, they need someone who can pass rush, first and foremost. The next need on the team is a very good or better RB who is 27 or younger. The chances of trading one LG for another teams LG is unlikely unless it was a part of a package deal (a good but not great LG and a 3rd round pick for Mankins for example- not that I'm saying they should do this).

The original proposal in this thread makes no sense as has been already pointed out.

I think that the patriots would take a "good" guard plus a 3rd in a heartbeat.

Maybe they would! Hey I'm smarter than I thought I was... but that's still not saying much, though.

Mankins derserves to bring a first round pick. He's a young former first round pick, that is now an All Pro Player.

St. Louis desperately needs an O Lineman or two.

Problem solved.

I doubt they would trade their 1st rounder, because they are far from becoming an 8-8 team. So it would be a very high draft pick for him, which I can't see them trading a Top 10. most likely Top 5 pick for Mankins.

Well how about this then. Mankins for DeAngelo Williams. Carolina really needs a guard. Williams' contract is up at the end of the season. I don't know if they'll want to keep 2 high priced RBs. The Pats get a great 27 year old starting RB. Plus, the marketing is easy. New England's sub chain D'Angelos quickly hires DeAngelo to promote their food. Done and done.

If the Pats could reach a reasonable contract arrangement with McNeal, I'd jump on this in a nano second. Quality LTs are a gift in this league and McNeal is a good one. I'd then move Light to LG, Volmer to RT and have Kaszur backing up all 4 OL positions. A Volmer/McNeil Tackle duo could be a elite pairing for the next 8-10 years, and I believe that Light at LG would be only a marginal downgrade to start with, and by the end of the season, he'd be playing at an all pro level.

I think the Pats have a very rare opportunity to trade for equal value in a player as opposed to draft picks. If trading an elite OG for an elite LT isn't your cup of tea, there are over 200 RFAs. all of whom are pissed at their situations, to choose from.

Mankins is worth a first round pick, but it might be very difficult to get one because everyone is aware of the "disconnect" between Logan and the Pats. Also it would be hard for any team to be willing to give up a first rounder for an interior OLman.

Personally I'm hoping he'll be back, but unfortunately the Branch deal set the precedent for a player being able to shoot his way out of town. That being the case, this is best environment in NFL history to make a player for player trade.
