I know, I know he only plays two downs but maybe the Patriots could draft Cody then Wilfork (sign and trade). There are a lots of holes and we could use the draft picks to reload.

Why does everyone want to trade VW so bad?

I like MayoClinic's suggestion of a possible D-Line of Wilfork - Cody - Warren. That is an absolutely dominant line physically. It would definitely free up the LB's to be able to make more plays and would fill the void left by Seymour.

If Wilfork trimmed down a little and got in better shape I think it could work. That D-Line would be great against the run and would demand a lot of blockers which could free up the LB's to shoot the gaps and blitz a la what the Ravens did to us yesterday.

I don't see it working with that unit, just too fat and slow.

By the end of games those guys would be almost dead, personally I wouldn't want to be the EMT who had to carry their dead bodies off the frozen tundra... but I digress, unless a team came out and said "We are going to run the ball now', kinda like the Ravens did yesterday then that sort of line has no utlity.

My reason for suggesting a trade is only for value, if Cody can do 80% of what Wilfork can do and the Patriots could get a pick in the range of 25-50 for Wilfork then you could end up with a starting guard or 3rd WR or rotational OLB plus 80% of Wilfork.

Alternatively trade Wilfork for Peppers.

Badluck

there are more important positions to worry about
if we can sign wilfork keep him, i dont think pat fans realize how important he is, how many of you wish we had a asante samuel on the team this year?

plus we just wasted.....err i mean used a pick on brace we should at least see how that works out plus myron pryor surprised us all this year

Metaphors

Couldn't you just sign Wilfork (getting 100% of him) and use pick #22 on a OG or WR or OLB (getting a better player than you could get in the 25-50 range)? Unless you are suggesting that Wilfork is cost-prohibitive, I'm missing your point.

I want to sign a know player like Vince and agree with you.
Cody's weigh scares me. If he somehow gains a few lbs. he could be a lot slower and sluggish in pros' but I may be wrong. I'd pass on him.

Sure but this is my delusional take... how is this for crazy, hold on.

Franchise Wilfork and then trade him for Peppers
Trade Brady for a 2010 first rounder, 2011 first and second rounders plus Patrick Willis.
Sign Richard Marshall and Leigh Bodden at CB
Draft Clausen, Cody, Best, Jon Asamoah, Arrelious Benn
Sign Fasano at TE
Sign Pennington at QB

Defensive starters
DLine - Warren, Cody, Pryor (subs Wright, Brace)
LB - Peppers, Willis, Mayo, TBC (subs Woods, Guyton, Selvie, Alexander)
CB?S - Bodden, Marshall, Merriweather, Sanders (subs Butler, Whilhite, Wheatley, McGowan, Chung)

Offensive Starters
QB Clausen, Hoyer, Pennington
RB Maroney, Taylor, Best, Morris
OLine Vollmer, Mankins, Koppen, Asamoah, Light (subs Kaczur, LeVoir, Ohrnberger, Connolly)
WR - Moss, Aiken, Edelman, Benn
TE - Fasano, Baker

Enter 2011 with 3 first round picks and two 2nd rounders.

Yep, it's crazy.

That is the best DWToys imitation I have ever seen.

How about we trade our top 4 picks for 53 6th and 7th round picks, and replace our entire roster?
