Actually, sweeten the pot a little -- you can sit in on every group meeting relating to the draft by Pats brass for a week leading up to the draft. Hear discussions about final tweaks to the draft board, hear about potential trades to move up or down, etc.
One caveat -- NO QUESTIONS ALLOWED. You're a fly on the wall. Open your mouth for anything other than breathing, sneezing or coughing, and your butt is out the door. They're busy and don't have time for amateur-hour analysis. Of course, you can hear the answers to any questions the Krafts ask etc.

I'd go $2500, but with a couple of caveats:
Caveat #1) I also get to attend all meals, unofficial pub meetings, cigar smoking sessions, etc., during the week, and during THOSE events only, I can run my mouth as much I want.
Some potential topics:
1. "Guys, I like Bobby Carpenter with the 21st pick..."
2. "Scott (Pioli), what's it like being at Thanksgiving Dinner sitting with Bill Parcells (your father-in-law) and knowing that you are a greater football mind than the Fat-Boy Tuna?"
3. "Bill, tell the truth, don't you just want grab Ty Law by that cheesy-***** mustache and slap the cr@p out of him?"
Caveat #2) They dig up Ben Coates, Mo Vaughn and Rod Rutledge and the four of us take Ben's Nummer down to the Foxy Lady in Providence. And I pay for nothing all night!
Caveat #3) I get a hotel room right near the stadium and on the Friday night before the draft, Amanda Beisel comes and stays in my room to help me - ahem - prepare for the big day!
$2500 in a heartbeat!
