It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I like MayoClinic's suggestion of a possible D-Line of Wilfork - Cody - Warren. That is an absolutely dominant line physically. It would definitely free up the LB's to be able to make more plays and would fill the void left by Seymour.
If Wilfork trimmed down a little and got in better shape I think it could work. That D-Line would be great against the run and would demand a lot of blockers which could free up the LB's to shoot the gaps and blitz a la what the Ravens did to us yesterday.
My reason for suggesting a trade is only for value, if Cody can do 80% of what Wilfork can do and the Patriots could get a pick in the range of 25-50 for Wilfork then you could end up with a starting guard or 3rd WR or rotational OLB plus 80% of Wilfork.
Couldn't you just sign Wilfork (getting 100% of him) and use pick #22 on a OG or WR or OLB (getting a better player than you could get in the 25-50 range)? Unless you are suggesting that Wilfork is cost-prohibitive, I'm missing your point.

Sure but this is my delusional take... how is this for crazy, hold on.
Franchise Wilfork and then trade him for Peppers
Trade Brady for a 2010 first rounder, 2011 first and second rounders plus Patrick Willis.
Sign Richard Marshall and Leigh Bodden at CB
Draft Clausen, Cody, Best, Jon Asamoah, Arrelious Benn
Sign Fasano at TE
Sign Pennington at QB

I know, I know he only plays two downs but maybe the Patriots could draft Cody then Wilfork (sign and trade). There are a lots of holes and we could use the draft picks to reload.
It doesn't matter if they bring in the best NT of all time. If there is no presence at RDE and OLB, the opposition can just double/ triple him all day long.
Who says that Cody is falling?
If we draft Cody and resign Wilfork, we can slide big Vince over and use that OLB spot as an elephant backer position. This alignment maximizes our ability to shut down the run and depending on the elephant backer or substitute for third and long, still allow us to generate pressure on the QB.

Cody has boom or bust written all over him. IMO. if he is there in the 2nd round sure but not the first.
