That's a nifty basket of day-1 picks, especially this year. Off the top of my head, I'd be mighty happy if they could end up with at least 3 players from this list of a dozen:

CB Alphonso Smith
CB Darius Butler
CB/S Sean Smith
DE Tyson Jackson
DE Jarron Gilbert
LB Connor Barwin
LB Clint Sintim
OT William Beatty
OG/C Max Unger
OG Eric Wood
S Louis Delmas
WR Brian Robiskie

Anybody else care to offer a dozen?

Box_O_Rocks

Before I pitch in with a dozen, it occurs to me that Mike Wright has not been signed or even mentioned so far in Free Agency. If this influx of new cap room was used to bring him back, along with James & Lewis Sanders (and maybe extend Woods), the draft dynamics would shift greatly. I would then be looking for "special" talents with those four picks.

CB Alphonso Smith
CB Darius Butler
DE Jarron Gilbert
LB Connor Barwin
LB Clint Sintim
OT William Beatty
OG/C Max Unger
OG Eric Wood
S Louis Delmas

In addition to those you mentioned:
WR Hakeem Nicks
S Patrick Chung
OT Jamon Meredith

Aaron Curry, Jason Smith, BJ Raji, Eugene Monroe, ...

OK, seriously. Add Alex Mack and Eben Britton to your list, and possibly DJ Moore, William Moore, Clay Matthews and Aaron Maybin (though I'd have to see more from them). Ochmed would add Max Unger, though I think he plays soft and don't want him.

Yep, I happily look forward to scuttling my draft board after the Pats make some fabulous FA moves.

Many of the names you & Mayo suggest were tough cuts from my initial 12. All in all, it leaves me feeling very good about the prospects for a big haul of quality players.

I wondered the same thing about the three players you mentioned above.

Hopefully, with the Cassel situation being resolved so quickly, the above

players can be retained. Paxton and Gaffney just received super offers.

Pats could easily pick

23 24 and 34 if they wanted to package 47 and 58

I don't see them picking 4 players

3 virtual 1st rounders would be pretty nice.

They could leap frog 34 into the first round by just throwing in a 3rd as well.

Expect some wheeling and dealing.

I doubt they go that route but a lot is possible.

Even though a low 1st or second is basically the same player, as fans we would be going crazy with the thought of having 3 third round picks.

23: Barwin/Matthews
34: Sean Smith
47: Max Unger
58: Patrick Chung

I would be pretty happy with this draft

How about:

23: Barwin
34: Sean Smith / Alphonso Smith
47: Louis Delmas
58: Eric Woods / Jarron Gilbert

Patchick, here's your requested dozen, and the first 4 picks to save you time.

LB Connor Barwin
LB Clint Sintim

But seriously, I'm fairly confident you'll get 3 players from your list.
