Default Jeremy Shockey may be traded for a 2nd rounder, should the Patriots join in interest?

Apparently the Saints are interested in Shockey and may give up a 2nd round pick which is what the Giants are reported to be asking for trading his services away.

Should the Patriots join N.O. in interest for this veteran former all-pro TE?

With a gimpy and inconsistent Watson and an unproven David Thomas I think it is well worth letting a 2nd rounder go and maybe even throw in a 7th rounder or maybe a late rounder in 2009 to juice it up a bit.

And it would also free up looking for a TE in this years draft which is very thin of talent at that position.

How good of a blocker is he. With the attitude he has I wuold hope a good one. If he is I would be interested.

Isn't Shockey just as gimpy?

Doubtful. Sure he's a good receiver but I don't know how well
he blocks. That's what we need. A blocking TE. Not another receiver like TE.
Dave thomas will be back and as far as I know, so will Ben Watson.

Besides that, he'd cost too much money.

not for a second rounder, we need more depth on D and a second rounder is too precious to waste on a luxury like another pass catching poor blocking TE

Well....He has had injuries over the past few years but when healthy his hands are far more trusting than Watson who drops too many IMO.

No thanks. Really, TE is not our most important need at this point. A second rounder could go to much more important needs.

Shockey is in no way worth a 2nd round pick.

He is:

1/ Overrated
2/ Always hurt
3/ A major attitude problem.


You could find much, much better value at the TE position.

Currently his career is defined by the Giants becoming better after he got hurt and his attitude was removed from their offensive huddle.

Why would anyone give a 2nd round pick for that?
