DeOssie thinks.... - New England Patriots Forums

I just happen to catch a little of some late night sports show the other day. I know we all have our opinions, but found his interesting. Steve DeOssie thinks that the Pats package some picks to move UP and grab the Pass Rusher we need in the first round. He also said that he's heard some talk in Foxboro about that.

It defintely goes against the Patriots and Belichick's M.O, but i found it interesting. Seems like it would take a LOT to get to where i think we'd NEED to be to grab someone IMPACTFUL from day one. Its going to be an interesting offseason for sure!

There is a good chance a pass rusher will come to us at 17. Seems to be a lot of them in this draft. Now if there is one that he covets than fine. But I would be dissapointed if we moved up earlier than 11 other than anyone not named Bowers,Jordan or Fairley. I group the others as raw but players that could be impact to stellar with time. Aldon Smith, Von Miller, Adrian Clayborne, JJ Watt, Kerrigan, off the top of my head.

Trade up to 13 to snatch Aldon!

If I was a member of that organization, and wanted to spread a little disinformation a long way, I couldn't think of a better way to do it than to mention something like this to Steve or Fred.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

If anything I see BB trading #17 and sliding down to still get some quality DE's or OLBs or even an OT.

the only guy I could see moving up for is fairley

The title of this thread sorta got me chuckling right off the bat.

Anyone here really think that BB is telling people what he'll be doing come draft day without that person resorting to waterboarding?

N'ah. Me neither.

I feel like Aldon Smith has bust written all over him.

Gil Brandt of ESPN.com, the longtime personnel director of the Dallas Cowboys, isn't sure that Smith is making the right choice. "I think that guys at that position, it's imperative that they get as much strength and maturity as possible," Brandt said. "Historically, I don't think it's a good move. ... He's got potential, no question. That's what you're banking on, his potential. "For whatever reason, that potential seems to come faster when they've played a full four years (in college). But only time will tell." - Bill Coats, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
