Do not get me wrong, I really like Cassel, but not for the #3 pick. Pioli has a chance to turn around a team with that pick, and I think he will either want to go with an OT or Curry, who would be like what the patriots did when the drafted Seymour all those years back.
I think KC will want Cassel however- so how do they do this. What about their 2nd round pick and Larry Johnson? Johnson wants out of KC and Pioli is not going to want some bad seed around his team this first year. KC is very young, and if they can get rid of a disgruntled Johnson and get their young franchise QB, it will be worth it. Also, it does not require KC to give up multiple draft picks so they can continue to build through the draft. The patriots may throw in a later round pick, like a 5th or 6th leaving KC with the same amount of picks they had.
The Patriots get that Corey Dillon type workhorse that could rejuvenate his career in an offense like this, make LJ very happy and very productive, which we all know is a good recipe for championships. We also get a very early 2nd that could be used on someone like Barwin or Delmas. The 5th or 6th we give to KC would probably not have a chance to make the team anyway, so trading that away to get the deal done is not that big of a deal.
That gives us a draft day look of.
1 pick in rd. 1
3 picks in rd. 2
2 picks in rd. 3 (samuel)
1 pick in rd. 4
1 pick in rd. 5(gay) trade ours to KC
2 in rd. 6(stallworth and ours)
1 in rd. 7.
That is still alot of picks that the patriots could use to move around to wherever they wanted. 3 picks inthe second would bring great flexibility and value as there are many players I like that seem to be getting 2nd round grades.
Thoughts?
