Hate all the trades. Not so much about where you wound up, but more on the fact of what you got for them. Philosophically I would be very pissed if the Pats walked away from this draft with 12 players. Trade them for picks in next year's draft, I'm OK with that. Trade them to move up in rounds to get the players you want, and I'm OK with that. The fact is that this is a loaded roster to begin with, and if we wind up with 7 picks this year, I would be pleasantly surprised to see 4 make the final 53. Then think about that plus 5. Its a waste.
That being said here is a link on Eli Harold. I hate that pick there, especially since its my 3rd priority. In the late 4th I'd take him. Here's the link. Feel free to comment

Now you did tick off 2 of my biggest needs in Hardison and Jackson and Trail. IF these were the only 3 guys we got in the draft, I would be happy. ..EXCEPT I sincerely doubt any of them will be around to be taken at those spots. If find it hard o think that Hardison or Jackson will make it out of the 2nd round, and Trail is getting enough ink now to think he won't make it out of the 3rd. I could be wrong.
BTW - Sifrin is a great pick in the 7th or as an UDFA
So in the end when you come right down to it, I love a lot of the players you took (not the first one), but can't see how we can get them in reality
