Steve Mariucci on Cassel's trade value
 
Sayeth he:

Quote:

“He’s a healthy young guy who has experience. So yeah, he’s a first-round [pick] easy. More than a first round. First and something else.” . . .

Mariucci believes the Patriots will end up keeping Cassel, even given the salary cap considerations.

“I would be shocked if he’s playing for somebody else, because you have to have – in this day and age – two good quarterbacks,” he said. “And sometimes that’s not enough.”
I wouldn't be surprised if that other good QB turns out to be O'Connell. . . .

It makes so much sense. Look at those teams with top 5 picks this year and need a QB. Do you want to commit 60+ million to an unknown kid, or take a guy who just had a top-10 season in the NFL and learned under Belichick?

All you need is two teams for a bidding war, so a 1st and some more is not too crazy.

Well, now that Mariucci has said it, I guess Cassel will be playing for someone else at some point in the 2009 season.

I do hope we trade Cassel and Brady is ready to go.I wouldnt mind trying to move up in the top 10.We need young players on defense.

Kiper's mock first rounder has Tampa taking Josh Freeman of Kansas State at 17. If you're going to do that, you might as well send the pick up here for Cassel. They have a team that is pretty good, not that far off. They need some tinkering of course, but they can do that with their other picks.

Hard to tell what the Patriots will get for Cassel. Weird things have happened in the NFL, but I can't believe they won't trade him - his value might never be higher. So in that respect, I think Mariucci's instinct is off.

There are soooo many crazy GMs out there that I'd be surprised if there ISN'T a bidding war of some kind.

I think I'd be very happy again at #10.

I think just for agruments sake, that IF Kansas City Wanted Cassel, I would not want #3 due to the cost of signing that pick.

IF Kanas city wanted it they would have to give more than a straight up #10 pick from San Fran. I would then try like hell to trade down from #3.

I never quite get the people who say there is no way the patriots would want the 3rd pick, they would much rather have the 29th or some such foolishness. They would happily take the 3rd and trade it for 2 lower picks, or take one of the best players in the draft.
