Patriots Trading up?
 
I was watching Patriots Today on Patriots.com and Nick Caserio said that with all the picks New England has they have the amunition to trade up and get that player that they really want. Who do you think this player is if the Pats trade Up if at all? Raji, Orakpo, Oher?

I would not be surprised to see them stay put at 23 and then trade up from 34 into those mid to late twenties. Of course, they will probably fall in love with someone who is not on my radar, trade up and take the guy 15th overall. That'll learn me.

I would be really surprised if they traded up to get Oher. He's a great physical specimen, but given his background (read the book the Blindside by Michael Lewis for more detail, but basically Oher has had real struggles understanding game plans and stuff like that) I don't think he's the kind of player that Bill Belichick will target.

I think BB will actually prefer him because of his background. He is a came from nothing type player who overcame obstacles to get where he is today.

I don't it happening but a couple Belichick MIGHT like enough are Brown and Jackson.

I don't either, if it id the couple I'd vote for BB liking enough would be Raji and Barwin. :D

If you read the book you'll likely come away feeling differently.

I read the book. I agree with the other guy.

Oher has issues, but none that will keep him from being a great player as long as the team knows what he needs, and NE will.

To get Jackson, how high do you think they need to go and what do see them giving up to get there?

I used the draft calc to come up with these:

simple up trade: #23 + #124 = #20


Very complex series of 3 trades:

--- #23 + #58 to Cards for: #31, #63, #95

--- then #89 + #95 + #124 to Viks for #54

--- then #31 + #63 and our 6th (about 202) to the Browns for #36 and #50

final picks in top 100: 34, 36, 47, 50, 54, 97; why? Avoid 1st round salary issues, and hit the 2nd round which is full of value with 5 picks.
