With us having two #1s I wouldn't be planning much around that time, we could easily end up moving up a fair distance.

According to the Draft Chart that I look at, #24 and 28 combined are worth 1,400 points, which would move us up to #8 without a trade. Whom do you see being available at that point that the Patriots would also be willing to spend top ten money for? What sort of trade plus #24 or 28 would you see moving us up higher? I don't see us giving up on Asante and moving up to the Skins' pick, otherwise I might agree with you if by some miracle Calvin Johnson was still available. We've already bet on Maroney, so I don't see us moving up for Peterson. LaRon Landry? Maybe. Maybe, but I just don't see us paying top ten money there and the Falcons need help in the defensive backfield. But who else would we trade to move higher up that wouldn't diminish what we've already put together? I think the Piolichick will use the picks they have and, if they trade, that they would be more likely to trade down than up.

Atlanta already has multiple picks in the 2nd & 4th rounds, so they'd be more inclined to trade up rather than down.

good point. plus, they could use Landry, who should still be available.

I have no idea but we can obviously move up. Whether it's way up or two #1s for a higher #1 and a #2, whatever, the point is that I wouldn't plan my day around 3 - 4 eastern and feel safe.

I agree with this. we COULD trade up to #8, but I think there's just no way. I'd rather not. Seems best to me for the Pats to stick where they are, and possibly trade back and pick up a 2nd rounder, maybe trade some other picks for better ones in 2008.

That makes sense to me.

3:30? That means each team will select in 9-10 minutes? I am thinking more like 5:30.
