package picks, move up?

Bwahaha Pacman.

Difference is the money that goes along with being in the top 5. Those rookies get paid a heck of a lot of money when they haven't played a down yet. It sets a franchise back when their "franchise" players don't pan out.

Big Sey wasn't a bust. Just to add to the list.

Sorry CPG- didn't mean to repeat what you said...missed your post.

You're suspended for two months without pay!

You didn't say the same thing, you just talked about a couple of the same players. Oh well.

I can see us trading in to the 10-15 range, trading both firsts and getting a pick back, hopefully a second, but more likely a 3rd. It is the top 5-8 that are overpriced. Also, I believe we get a sixth year for the top 15.

I am thinking that Pats trade out of one of the spots for a 2nd this year and a first next season much like the Baltimore trade a few years ago. with many of the issues addressed and how the remaining ones, except interior D-line depth, are typically addressed later in the draft the Pats will hold firm and take the best offer and trade out of one of the 2 spots

here is my take as just psoted on the draft forum. I just posted this so it's red hot, be careful not to touch it.

I can't see the Pats giving up a whole bunch of draft choices to

get one specific player. As one poster suggests, they might trade

their two #1's for an early #1 and a #2 to target a player like

the free safety Nelson. More likely, they might use their #3 or #4 pick

to move up a few spots to get a player they want.

I would be a little disappointed if they don't come out of day #1

of the draft with a safety, linebacker, and cornerback.

I'd prefer to trade down. We need cheaper depth now after the active free agency.

Don't forget that we have no 2nd round pick this year

just wanna get your guys opinion on the pats moving up in the draft to get a special player. the way i see it they can prob package the 2 1st round picks and move up to about 9 or 10. anyone see that happening? if we can move up and get landry then i think were set on defense.

While it is possible, I think it is far more probable that we take a player with one of the 1st round picks and then trade down with the other one, picking up at a 2nd rounder this year and a first next year.

I see us as more likely to trade down than up.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if as things got close to our picks, we started hearing from teams that want to move up slightly in order to get a particular guy. With the two first rounders, we have flexibility. If someone is going to give us more first day picks to move a few spots, we'd have to look hard at it.

Suspended without pay?...didn't even know I was an employee.
