who would you take for the patriots?

My first reaction is probably DE/OLB C. Long from Virginia.

How about you all?

All players are in play, and assuming we have no gains or losses from free agency?

Jake Long.

Chris Long DE/OLB

Cannon Arm

It would be a major shocker if either Long makes it to us.

I think it's at least 50-50 that J. Long is there for us. C. Long a little less but he's more player than workout guy/athlete so I could see others moving ahead of him after the combine.

Not sure who I'd like. If one of the CB grades out as top ten value I'd probably go there.

If one of the Longs fell (especially Chris Long), could you see the Pats trading up to #5 to screw the JEST?

No.
The Pats need to worry more about improving their own team than to "screw" the Jets.
That's like drafting Brohm just because he would be a potential improvement over Pennington.
It has little to no relevance for the Pats unless it makes OUR team better.

At this point I think we trade the #7 pick and move down. I think a QB will be there at #7 and someone will want to get ahead of Baltimore to get him.

I also think that Parcells is locked and loaded with C Long and any QB talk is just false signals.

However if I had my pick of players at #7, I would take J Long, since he could come in and start at ROT from day #1.

I think that would be an added bonus, rather than a reason for making the trade, to them obviously liking the player.

If I could pick anyone on the board it'd be Chris Long but I think it's about 10-90 he makes it down that far.

Chris Long would be a possibility, but I question whether he can really play OLB or whether it would be a steep learning curve for him. Of course his coach and dad are going to talk up his ability to play OLB with all of the 3-4 teams at the top of the draft.

Can we assume that Atlanta will switch to 3-4 now that they've nipped our director of college scouting? What about Cincinatti after hiring Mike Zimmer?
