Say a team like Tampa, who have their eye a certain player and are desperate for an infusion of top quality talent, comes to Pats with an offer as their turn at 24 comes up and the Pats still see at least 5-6 guys they rate as 1st round talent still on the board. If you were BB at that moment would you trade #24 for Tampa's two second round picks (35 and 64, I believe)? Such a move would give our team FOUR players in the top 64 drafted. Talk about restocking the team! That's four expected starters added to a team with barely that many slots depending on the Samuel/Graham negotiations. Using Jimmy Jonhson's quantitative scale the deal probably favors Tampa but given BB/Pioli's track record with high round picks you have to figure at least three of the four would very soon be major contributors.
By time you get past the middle of the first round there is usually very little difference in the next 20-30 players. So we would pick 28 and 35 instead of 24 and 28, hardly a big difference, and in exchange get another 2nd rounder.
Would you pull the trigger?
