The Pats started the draft with picks in rounds 1-2-3-3.
They used draft picks in rounds 1-2-3-3.
Meanwhile, a #2 pick was added for next year AND they got the guy they wanted all along cheaper then it would have cost to stay at 7.
Good one!It's not even fair. It's like fishing with dynamite.

- and as a bonus, they walk away with a next-year 2nd, which will be awesome to have starting out that draft. With that pick, they'll be able to move way up in round 1 if they want, to the 13-18 range where they do so well. Or keep it, or trade down into the 3rd round, perhaps picking up a 2010 2nd or 3rd. It's a tremendous luxury to have the extra pick in the first 2 1/2 rounds
A follow up question to your analysis which isn't very far fetched.
Who do you think will have a better 2nd round pick next year the Chargers or the Saints?
I would think the Saints.
if you agree wouldn't they have been better off trying to get the 2 next year from the saints rather than a 3 this year which helped us turn a 3 into a 2 next year, which people say are equal???
I know you lose some draft day flexibility but they say hindsight is 20/20.

The equation people like to put forth here is that a pick in 'this' years draft is one round higher than that same pick in next year's draft. In other words, under the "1 year= 1 round" rubric, the Patriots lost value by trading a high 3rd this year for a low 2nd next year, because a low 2nd a year out = a low 3rd that same year.
Well, either the Pats don't think it's that much of a drop-off, or they simply didn't care, for whatever reason; after all, they were willing to risk missing out on Crable to make that trade. I can't really think of any other explanations.
I can, but I really don't want to.
I know the Chiefs called the Patriots when they were on the clock at 5.
What is that?I think I know where you're going with this, but if that's what they were concerned about
What is that?
I don't think I agree here. SD is good, so you'd expect that pick to be a late round 2, as well as our own late round 2. I'd hope that we are picking deep in round 1 (say pick 32!!).
Unless you are trading both 2's and your #1 to move up in round 1, I don't see us getting into the teens any other way.
Is that what you intended?
