I agree. But then, I would be gald to see any of the blue chippers, or almost blue chippers fall to us. Not including QB's we have
DL Bowers, Darius, Fairley, Jordan
LB Miller, Quinn
DB Amukamara, Peterson
WR Green, Jones
RB Ingram
That give us 13 players if one includes QB's Gabbert and Newton who likely also be in the top 13.
Even if there are THREE additional players in the top 16, none of these will drop to us. Of course, it certainly could happen. With a surprise or two, one of these could be available with a trade up, but there would lots of teams interested, including the team with the pick.
It seems more likely that all of these will be gone and we are looking at the top OT's or the remaining front seven players. If there is enought to choose from, Belichick will, of course, trade down some.

If you think Amukamara is a blue chipper, and he falls to 17, makes sense to do it, even if the need isn't as significant. Of course if you don't see him in that class of talent, it doesn't make sense.
I'd love to see Cam Jordan fall to us but I don't think that's happening.
