Default RUMOR: Have the Pats traded down to #10?

I just got a call from my nephew saying he just heard the Pats traded down to #10 with New Orleans, with details coming up.

He could be yanking my chain, but he says he is serious. Anyone have confirmation?

I'm hearing the same thing. Supposedly its been reported on local New Orleans sports talk, with Schefter as the source. The rumor suggests that Pats are targeting Jerrod Mayo at the 10 slot - and that the Pats have Mayo above Rivers on their draft board.

It's not true. The Saints wouldn't even make that trade today anyways. They'd wait for tomorrow till the Patriots pick, just to make sure the player they want is there. This is NOT TRUE!

Exactly because they would then be screwed if Denver or Cincy traded up to #6 and took Ellis.

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

*OR* New Orleans is simply making a calculated risk by making the deal now so that they don't have to face competition for the #7 spot on draft day.

It would not make sense for the Saints to make that trade not knowing if the player they want is still available..JMO

Don Banks projects the trade and a Mayo pick in his final mock:

Maybe it was reported that they have reached an agreement pending who is available or something.

If so, it reeks of a smokescreen with both Schefter and Banks coming up with it at the same time.

Agree, it also doesn't make sense for the Pats to do that now either. What if Ryan for example falls and you could get 13 and 43 or something? Could take Mayo there too possibly.

Who cares if Don Banks projects a trade in his mock draft. If this is your basis for this rumor your an idiot! You gonna start quoting DryHeat too. If he projects a trade you gonna call that a rumor too??????
