It wasn't just McCourty. By trading down we got a 4th from Denver which turned into Aaron Hernandez. Then we traded with Dallas and moved from 119 to 90. That pick turned into Taylor Price. So, the deal turned out to be
1st rounder - Could have been dez bryant. And 119th pick
for
D.McCourty - cb
A. Hernandez - te
T. Price - wr
Safe to say. Our guy knows what the heck he's doing. This next sequence should make sleep comfortably at night if you're ever worried about the future of the Pats.
The 2nd sequence of trades down was sweet science. We have the 47th pick. Down to 58 Arizona. Pick up their 3rd rounder. Which we ended up trading to Carolina for their 2nd in 2011. We then drop from 58 to 62 for a 5th. We drafted
Brandon Spikes - lb
Zoltan Mesko - p
Carolina Pick 34 Right Now
for 47th pick
Pick ended up being Daryl Washington - lb - tcu
