Than the follow up question would be can Malulaga or Laurenitis fall to 23 than? or to where our Cassel 1 could be?
Sure, BB should have a little ammo to move up a few places if there is someone he really wants. There are plenty of threads complaining about the draft process that explain why NE is picking #23 - life's a beach and them's the rules.Cant we move from the 23rd position?How are the arizona cardinals ahead of us?They are in the superbowl.

Darned soap boxes are made from cardboard now and won't support my weight.Hey, what is this, a soap box derby?!?!
The Cardinals aren't ahead of us, they will pick at either 31 or 32. The Eagles and Vikings are the only playoff teams picking ahead of us in the 1st round, picking at #21 and #22, since they had poorer regular season records than we did despite making the playoffs.
NE currently has 8 draft picks, they seem to be assured of at least two more from Comp picks. For the moment Curry is projected as a Top 5 pick. Using the outmoded Trade Value Chart, #5 = 1700 pts. NE's total draft = 1761.6We have too few spots for all our draft picks... this year is a great chance to trade up and grab Curry, especially since we'll have other picks from Cassel and Asante
Until Cassel is traded, assuming that's NE's intent, Curry isn't an option. If Cassel is traded, Curry is still only an option if NE winds up with a Top 10 pick - pooling both number ones just for Curry is a bit excessive.
The problem with the whole trade up idea is that the only guy in the top 15 I'd want is Curry. So, we can only trade up on draft day to get him - factoring our want of Curry into the Cassel deal is not productive. If we got a top 15 pick out of Cassel, it might end up just being an expensive albatross hanging round our necks.
I've seen Mayock's clip on Curry and heard what he had to say in comparison to Mayo, that said NE got Mayo and Crable for the same price; is Curry = to the value of two Top 100 players? Plus however much more you wish to spend to move up for him. Hypothetical: If NE were to trade Cassel to San Francisco for #10, they would need to use the SD 2nd rounder to trade up to #5 - is Curry worth say, Jenkins at #10 and Louis Delmas at #47?Given the great depth and talent already on the team and lack of open spots, I would gladly package a bunch of picks to take Curry.
Would love Curry... but he's out of reach this year it seems. Too bad. But there are other good linebackers available in this year's draft.
