This is the best thread today so far. I guess I'll refrain from posting my theory where I believe the Pats will execute a trade that gives them all 32 picks in the first round.
Which they will then subsequently trade away to the other teams in exchange for their first round and second round picks next year... hehehe
Your assumption with regard to Seymour is on target. Seymour will
demand Haynesworth and Peppers money. If the Patriots franchise
him, he will simply sit out 6 games in protest. Would fans rather get
nothing in return for him next year?
Before you guys jump on me, think about this for a bit. It actually makes sense.
It won't be for the number three poick, but K.C.'s number three for Maroney?

One of the major differences between the Pats and many of the other teams in the NFL is how the Pats manage their money. The Patriots are very good at it while the majority of the of the other NFL teams are not. The Patriots have no interest in the 3rd pick in the draft because of the money that they would have to fork over to sign the kid. Top 3 dollar contracts are a big reason why the teams that are consistently drafting so high rarely improve. Until the NFL deal with this out of whack salary structure for high draft picks, the Pats will have no more interest in #3 overall than I have in the fat girl who lives next door.
No, it really doesn't.
Jarvis Green isn't that great, especially not when assuming full time duties.
The chances are zero because the top five picks in the draft will be the highest paid players at their position without ever having taken an NFL snap.
That represents HORRIBLE value. Truly horrible.
And the Pats are nto fans of doing things for horrible value, much less TRADING up to get a horrible value deal.
So the chances aren't "small", or "remote", or "unlikely". They are ZERO.
I know. How stupid of me. I am wrong and you are right. You win JB.... as usual.

Boy, that cross must be pretty heavy?
If you'd look, you'd realize that wasn't even addressed to you.

There's a better chance that KC trades Cassel to Denver for #18 and takes Barwin at #18.
really believe that if this does not go down, Seymour is gone in 2010 anyway. I think the Pats will focus on keeping Wilfork and Mankins instead. Might as well get what we can for Seymour while we can. And that third pick will be a stud. (Aaron Curry?)

On a recent visit to Kansas City, draft prospect Barwin was told by the Chiefs that although they have the third pick of the draft at the moment, they did not know what picks they would have by draft time. Here's the link:

What are the chances that the Pats will trade for the third pick overall? Here's an idea I've been mulling over...Seymour and the Pats first rounder for the third pick of the draft. Trading Seymour would likely save enough cap $ so that the Pats could afford to pay the third pick of the draft. Jarvis could get an extended contract, and perhaps JT could still be brought in to share duties with Jarvis at DE (as well as play a little OLB.) Patriots would have to draft a DE with their top pick in the second round. I assume Aaron Curry will be taken with the third pick.
