I think they are certainly putting out feelers as part of their due diligence in case a player drops and they can trade up for value but it's the perfect storm that somebody like Dallas will take under value such as 17 + 74 for 9 and that the player(s) they are targeting make it there. Certainly they could easily recoup 74 later by using 28 and 33 which should be sweet-spots in this draft.

Breer speculated that their isn't that elite player who will be worth trading up from 17 to 9 or 10 as rumored so the Pats will likely trade down to the mid 20's furthering their position of strength to pick up the players they want there with no drop off in talent while still being able to trade out of 28 and\or 33. I think this is likely and if they went say Wilkerson with one pick and traded into next year with another and picked up any of OLB\OT\OG\WR with the 3rd it would be fine with me. That would still leave them a ton of other picks to fill in the roster.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

TBC is 6-2 250 while Miller is 6-3 246. He is on the smaller side, but he could fit on the Pats. Especially with his athletic ability.

The Pats have 17 and 28 which equals 1600+ points which is good enough to move up for a 5 or 6 pick....that is a simple draft scenario without any further movement

Only thing, though, is that the Pats don't always have to ammunition to trade way up in the draft without giving up future first round picks. The Pats have that ammunition this year. IMO, it's either going to be for Miller or Dareus. I can't see us trading up to get a WR.

I'd be OK with this if they thought they could trade Bodden. Bodden, McCourty, and Peterson @ his likely draft spot is a huge percentage of cap room to devote to cornerbacks -- and there will be at least two others, probably Butler and that guy from the practice squad.

I'm just wondering if it's something like this:

17 + 60 for Washington's #10. There is a lot of talent for NEP and they need starters not depth.

Then maybe 28 trade down to 35 and Cincy's 2nd next year.

b72s

from 17 to 10 Washington

for Kerrigan and we get to sign him for 6 years

Handel

Would be a terrible reach for Kerrigan at 10.
