As I just posted in another topic, we could end up with...

2 first round picks (Cassel trade)
3 second round picks (Cassel trade)
2 third round picks (Samuel compensatory)

Is this a deep draft class? I don't follow college ball at all.

Yes, this is a very deep draft class.

If we get a 1 and 2 for Cassel. I doubt if they will both be this year. I wouldn't be shocked if we got a 2 this year, and a conditional pick next year based on his performance and team he gets traded to.

We will get a minimum of a 1st round pick for Cassel. I think a 1 and 3 is what is most likely. There is no doubt he brings in a 1st round this year. Too many teams need QB's and this isn't a strong QB class. I hope it is San Francisco, but I believe Minny will be the biggest player for his services.

The Pats have made deals with Chicago GM Jerry Angelo in the past.

I cant wait for this draft. We are going to add some beasts and get younger in the process.

Sounds promising.

The Pats need to address some key players...

7 picks in the first 3 rounds is possible via either getting 2 picks in the '09 draft for Cassel or through trade downs if only 1 '09 pick is in a projected Cassel trade.

If the Patriots do end up with 7 (or even) 6 picks in the first 3 rounds, I'd hope they would trade one or more of them for either an established player (my preference) or future draft picks. Everyone drafted in the first 3 rounds has to make your football team, and I can't see the Patriots carrying more than 6-8 rookies on next years squad. We'd still have 4 later picks and undrafted free agents to consider. This year we had Mayo, Wheatley, Crable, O'Connell, Wilhite, Slater, and Guyton make the opening day roster for a total of 7 rookies.

My guess is we get a 2nd 2009 and a conditional for MC which gives us

1 x 1
2 x 3
3 x 2

Think we might get an extra 4th for Stallworth too? Anyhoo its plenty of room to trade up and down if we want to
